Chapter 59: The Weight of Expectation
Monday, March 8, 2010
Crawley Town's 1-1 draw with Bournemouth kept their momentum strong. The tough match earned them a valuable point, keeping them in fourth place in League Two with 60 points, showing their determination.
The upcoming FA Cup Quarter-Final against West Ham United on March 29, 2010, loomed large, their shocking win over Burnley still fueling their confidence.
But first, they had to stay focused on their tough league match against Rochdale at Broadfield Stadium on March 13, a challenge before facing the Premier League giants.
Monday's recovery session was light.
The Bournemouth draw had taken its toll, and the squad moved with tired legs, but their spirits stayed strong.
The Broadfield training pitch glowed under a pale March sun, as stretches helped loosen tight muscles.
Max Simons, the striker and captain, rolled his shoulders, his goal at Dean Court still a fire in his belly.
