MATT BACK IN BOOST FOR REDS

CRAWLEY boss Mark Yates expects striker Matt Harrold’s return to galvanise the side as they bid to scrap their way out of the doldrums.

Harrold was forced off in the 4-0 defeat to Mansfield, and Crawley then went on to string together three losses in a row.

“Matt Harrold – I think we’ve missed him, I really do,” said Yates. “He’s been a focal point of what got us some decent results in the first five games.

“We are trying to pick a team consistently SaturdayTuesday-Saturday-Tuesday, but unfortunately performances and results haven’t allowed us to do that.”
