Crawley head coach John Yems had urged his side not to 'lay down' in their final five games of the season, after their 1-0 win over League Two leaders Cheltenham at The People's Pension Stadium last night.

The Reds followed up their 2-0 victory at Bradford with another hard-working display, and Yems said: “We won’t give up on anything.

“I’ve always said I want to see work rate and consistency and we’ll see where it takes us.

“We could have scored another four or five on another day and every player stuck at it.”

Yems has stated throughout the season that ensuring survival for next term would be no mean feat, but after picking up maximum points in their last two matches they are currently three points off the play-offs places.

He added: “We have some good players and good characters and they are not fair-weather players. It is a pity the fans are not here.

“We will keep on playing in our last four games and see where it takes us.

“A lot of people want to see Crawley do well – you’ll get a good honest performance”

The Reds are back in action on Tuesday as they travel to Wales to take on play-off hopefuls, Newport County.
