There are positives says Josh Lelan after Red’s lose their first games
Crawley Town Defender Josh Lelan says there are positives to take away from the Red’s first two league games, despite both of them being a loss.
Admitting it was frustrating, he feels they’ve done ‘fairly well’ in some places and the side’s fortunes would turn if they built on their good points with some ‘fine tuning’.
He joined the club’s owner Ziya Eren in saying the fans are a massive factor and can push them on.
Eren has asked fans for “unity, noise and passion” for their game against Cambridge United on Saturday so as to stop ‘defeatist mentality’ creeping in.
