How Southampton’s approach in their win at West Brom inspired Crawley Town to victory over Forest Green

Crawley Town manager Scott Lindsey said he used Southampton manager
Russell Martin as the inspiration in his pre-match meeting before the Reds beat Forest Green Rovers 2-0.
After a patient effort, Crawley Town ultimately reached the back of the net
when Danilo Orsi scored the team’s 700th league goal from close range after Nick Tsaroulla found him with a cross.
The second goal was shared by the replacements, as Klaidi Lolos scored from a cross by Kellan Gordon to give the
Reds their first victory in five games and double their lead.
Following the victory, Lindsey expressed her happiness and explained how Martin’s remarks on Friday night, when Southampton defeated West Brom in the Championship, served as inspiration. “I’m happy with the outcome, I thought the players worked really hard today,” he remarked.
We had to put in a lot of effort against a squad that was fighting for survival in the league, so we knew it would be a difficult game today. I think today’s performance by the players was excellent.
In his pregame speech, Lindsey disclosed to the team that he had shown his players a video of Martin following their victory over West Brom.
Lindsey utilized this video to inspire his players and get them thinking about how he assembled his team and wanted them to perform.
“I used a clip from Russell Martin who spoke after his game last night and I thought it was a brilliant message from Russell about running, not just having a soft underbelly with possession and not making a million passes and not being able to run,” the player stated in the pre-match meeting.
“We want to be a ball-passing, extremely disciplined squad. In addition, we must drive aggressively both with and without
the ball, as well as with the ball. I played that footage for the guys, kind of like a
way to motivate what I was saying. He spoke pretty well, in my opinion.
Also, Lindsey emphasized the quality of his team, emphasizing the significant
contributions made by his replacements. outside the bench
“The subs were excellent today, and Lolos scored his goal, but I thought he had some really good glimpses,” the
speaker stated. Harry Forster really gave them trouble down the left side, while
Kellan Gordon was excellent down the right.
In addition, Lindsey expressed gratitude to the supporters for their support during the previous few games as well as this one.
“Celebrating with the fans there at the end was an enjoyable moment, and more of a relief than anything that we got that win that I think we deserved,” he stated.
“The most frustrating thing, in my opinion, is playing four games and not
learning anything. The audience was fantastic; they never leave.
Following that, Crawley will play two away games: on Tuesday night, they will
travel to AFC Wimbledon for a rescheduled match, and on Saturday, they will travel to Accrington Stanley.
