Manchester United v Crawley remembered - exactly a decade on

So, ten years on, it got us thinking, how would the side who beat Leeds get on against Steve Evans’ side of 2010-11?

We asked the Facebook group CTFC.net – for fans of Crawley Town– to see who they thought would win. Here are some of the responses.

James Evans

“Experience counts. Right now, I’d expect the 2010-11 side to win by a single goal. In a year’s time with how our current side is developing, who knows?”

John Barnett

“It’s a tricky one this. The current team is in League Two while the other was in the National League, but swept all before it and won at a canter.

“Then as a measure, a core of that team won promotion from League Two...whereas the current team could

hopefully feature in the promotion race from League Two...”

Peter Bellamy

“The current bunch would give a good account of themselves. They have beaten a Premier League side after all, which is something the 2010-11 team didn’t do.”

Charlie Bright

“2010-11 a better side, Yems a better coach though. The money spent back then is much more than now, so a play-off spot would be a great achievement.”

Simon Smith

“Interesting one. Really not much in it but 2010-11 for me.”

Jason Bates

“2010-2011 side all day long.”

Phil Jarman

“Yeah I would say the 2010-11 side.. what a team and gaffer”

Gary Maiden

“2010-2011 - I would only have Morris from the current crop in that team.”

James Charlton

“2010-11 in my view would win it. Nadesan and Nichols would be ahead of McAllister group in my view. Not saying McAllister is bad but he didn’t play for us in League Two. Tunnicliffe would get in ahead of Mills for me too.”

Antony Weller

“Yems is a better coach and has greater tactical awareness – Evans probably had the better side

“McAllister and Tubbs were the best forward line we had – yes better than Barnett and Tubbs in my view because of what they offered each other.”
