VIEWS FROM THE DRESSING ROOM
Crawley boss Richie Barker told BBC Radio Sussex:
"We prepared in the right way and did everything right and that has shown.
"At times some of our football was excellent, we created so many chances.
"My only disappointment is that it was only 1-0 because that meant we were always on the edge but I was also delighted with the way we defend."
