ONE TO WATCH: Filipe Morais
MIDFIELDER Filipe Morais dropped down from the Championship to join Crawley Town this summer and has established himself as a first-choice pick in Harry Kewell’s side with a starting spot in each of their three League Two games so far.
Morais had spent the previous 18 months with Bolton Wanderers, helping them win promotion out of League One in the 2016-17 season.
The Portuguese player made 33 appearances in the second tier last season but was allowed to leave Bolton on a free transfer at the end of the campaign.
Morais is well-versed with English football, having played for Bradford City and Oldham Athletic as well.
He began his career at Premier League giants Chelsea, although his pro debut came on loan at MK Dons in January 2006.
KEY BATTLE: Olly Lancashire v Ollie Palmer
AFTER starting the season with a 1-0 win at Cheltenham Town, Crawley Town have stuttered since and lost their next three games in all competitions.
Ollie Palmer got the decisive goal at Whaddon Road and also has one of the only other two efforts Harry Kewell’s side have mustered since.
Palmer is likely to lead the line for Crawley again this evening and Swindon Town skipper Olly Lancashire will be eager to ensure his defence is much tighter than it has been so far.
