Rochdale – Crawley Town

Rochdale’s hopes of climbing out of the bottom‑four were dented at Spotland as Crawley Town snatched a 2‑1 victory, leaving the home side on 24th with just four points from six games. The visitors, now 23rd, also sit on four points but improve their goal difference slightly to –5 after edging the match 6‑11 overall. The win gave Crawley the edge in their head‑to‑head this season, having taken the sole encounter between the two clubs. Both teams remain mired in a sea of defeats, each with only one win and one draw to their name.
