'I think it’s a really good point' - Crawley Town manager Kevin Betsy on draw at Salford City

Tom Nichols and Ludwig Francillette both equalised for the Reds either side of half-time to earn their third draw of the season. Despite remaining winless in the league’s opening seven games, the club have now gone four games unbeaten in all competitions.

“I think it’s a really good point,” said Crawley’s manager, Kevin Betsy. “Considering Salford’s record at home this season, the players showed a real strength of character and resilience.”

Crawley went behind against the Ammies in the third minute through Salford’s Callum Hendry. With a mountain to climb early on, Betsy said, “We don’t want to have to come back but it shows a real togetherness within the group, a real never say die attitude. We showed it against Portsmouth and many other times. But you can’t start a game of football like that.

“We aren’t delighted with the point because we want to win games, but those attributes are going to be needed until the end of the season.”

The Red have suffered from set plays this season.
