Here is how Philip Richardson rated the Reds' players. Do you agree?

I have been saying throughout pre-season that Archie Davies’ is an excellent attacking threat with smart runs often providing space and chances. This we as shown in the 95th minute when he made a perfectly timed run into the box, took the ball perfectly in stride before showing incredible calm to pass the ball past the keeper. I expect Davies to play a larger part this season.

13. Archie Davies - 9

Whilst he was not on for long, he showed why he’s so valuable to Crawley’s attack with a perfectly timed and weighted pass through to Davies, showing not only the vision to see the run but also the ability to make the pass. He topped it off with an unsavable penalty into the roof of the net.
