the importance of getting the new team some live play, and away from an intensive training regime and hopes that the hosts also took away something from the experience
“It's bound to be a much-changed side in August."
"We have not spent a note on anyone coming in and the nucleus of the side will be here next season.
"The squad is coming together nicely. We've got a good mix of youth and experience and a few lads who if we create the right environment - and I believe we will - that can really thrive at the club.
Raphael will be in the squad for tomorrow's game against Fulham.
Three goals in the last 11 minutes condemned Reds to a 3-2 defeat against Chelsea under-21s in their final pre-season friendly at the Checkatrade.com Stadium.
John Gregory: "Swindon, like us, started with two wins so they will be full of confidence. I don't think this club has ever had an easy game against Swindon - Saturday will be no different.
this match ‘was probably the best performance I've had since I joined the club.
Crawley Town boss John Gregory told BBC Surrey
"The best team lost, as simple as that. We got a goal back and the momentum swung back to us. I thought we were comfortable in the first half too.
"I always felt we could get back into the game, and the longer it went on the more we dominated. We just couldn't get that second goal."
Gregory on MK Dons v Crawley
"We messed up the penalty, which would have got us back to one-each and there would have been only one winner, but it's a recurring theme that I keep talking about each week, about how well we played. "If it was purely about performances, we would've possibly been already promoted, but it's not about the performance, it's about results. "We need to sit down and reassess everything, and take a long hard look at everything we do, and everything goes towards our weekly training sessions and we need to make sure that we end on maximum points next weekend."
despondency abound!start winning
.Crawley Town assistant manager Paul Groves told BBC Surrey ….
"When you concede goals obviously you look at that first and we made sure today that was our foundation and it proved good for us. Izale popped up with the most important thing to score the goal, so it was a good day.
New signings Keith Keane and Josh Wright have made a difference they have experience, the fact they've got an appearance behind them and they have the work ethic.
"They have settled in very well with a good group and they have certainly enhanced the squad.
On Matt Sadler returning to the club: "He is obviously welcomed back by the fans in terms of great reception so that was excellent. I am sure he felt at home and he's come into a new group of players and settled in very well in a short space of time and he's an excellent addition."
Crawley Town boss John Gregory told BBC Surrey:
"They threw everything at us in the last few minutes and we stood firm and behind the back four, Jamie Ashdown had to make a couple of decent saves in the last couple of minutes.
"It's a good point, our first draw of the season and we will accept it and it's another point on the tally and it was important to get something.
"Doncaster are no mugs, they've just come out of the Championship and I was delighted to come here and get something."
The CRAWLEY OBSERVER.. John Gregory is standing for no more nonsense from his players after Crawley Town suffered their second disappointing result in two weeks.
