Crawley Town will face Bromley in a crucial Sky Bet League Two match on Monday night. Currently, Bromley holds a significant advantage, sitting 18 places higher in the league table. Scott Lindsey’s team occupies the 20th spot, while Bromley is performing well in second place.
Current Form and Standings
Bromley enters this match on a strong note, having recently won four consecutive games. In contrast, Crawley Town has struggled, recording their last victory on November 8 against Fleetwood Town. The recent clash between the two teams just a month ago resulted in a 3-1 defeat for Crawley at the CopperJax Community Stadium. Goals from Omar Sowunmi, Idris Odutayo, and Michael Cheek secured this win for Bromley, while Ryan Loft scored the sole goal for Crawley.
Key Players and Management
Neil Smith, assistant manager of Bromley, is a notable figure from the past, with nearly five years as manager at Hayes Lane. Under his leadership, Bromley reached Wembley for the first time since 1949. They competed in the FA Trophy Final in 2018 but lost on penalties to Brackley Town.
In addition to Smith, Crawley Town features familiar faces such as Harry Forster and Harry McKirdy. Forster has been with the team since 2023, while McKirdy joined after his contract with Bromley ended during the 2025 summer transfer window.
Crawley Town’s Recent History
Crawley Town’s recent journey includes a promotion to League One in the 2023/24 season through the play-offs. Despite finishing 21st in the league, their final three victories could not spare them from relegation back to League Two.
| Promotion Season | Final Position | Play-Off Results |
|---|---|---|
| 2023/24 | 7th | Defeated MK Dons 8-1 over two legs |
Despite their impressive performance in the play-offs, this season has been challenging for Scott Lindsey’s squad. They have managed only four wins in their first 22 matches. Conversely, Bromley remains the only team in League Two that is unbeaten at home.
