Hide AdFilipe Morais 8 - Should have seen his magical goal stand but again showed his class with great distribution and vision before coming off injured.
Jimmy Smith 8 - Captain lead by example and gave the Reds an early lead.
Dannie Bulman 6 - Proved a cool, calm head in the centre of the pitch.
Ashley Nathaniel-George 7 - Weaved his magic with the ball on flanks and flummoxed and bamboozled the Bury defence on may occassions.

Hide AdOllie Palmer 9 - The hero again for the Reds. Did what he did best by holding up the ball well and being a nuisance in the penalty area and throughly deserved his late winner. Will be the difference for Crawley this season.
Dominic Poleon 7 - Had the ball in the net but it was rightly ruled out for offside. Posed the Bury defence all sorts of problems.
Subs:Lewis Young (replaced Filipe Morais 70') 7 - Came on and was steady at the back and delivered several good crosses into the box.
Panutche Camara (replaced Dominic Poleon 75') 8 - Leapt highest to make it 2-2 and had a goal chalked off. An instant impact.
Rob Milsom (replaced Jimmy Smith 90) N/A - Came on with minutes to go as the Reds looked to run down the clock.
