John Yems said Crawley Town's injury crisis, which he described as the worst he's ever experienced as a manager, has prevented the Reds from hitting top gear.

Key players, like Nick Tsaroulla, Tom Nichols and Jordan Tunnicliffe, have all missed large parts of Crawley's campaign through injury.

But, despite this setback, the Reds sit ninth in League Two, just outside the play-offs on goal difference, going into Saturday's clash with Sutton United.

Yems said: "We should be doing a lot better than what we've done. The annoying thing, from our point of view, is that we've had the worst injury crisis I've had at any club.

"Let's not dress it up like we're trying to be wonder coaches, we've just had to fill holes sometimes.
