Odds on Crawley to be relegated from the English League Two have shortened from 4/5 to 8/15 with BetGoodwin, as four of 13 bookmakers cut their prices.
The odds on Crawley to be relegated from the English League Two have been slashed from 4/5 to 8/15 with BetGoodwin, and after another late gut-punch at Broadfield Stadium, it is hard to argue with the bookmakers.
Four of 13 bookmakers have cut their odds on Crawley to be relegated from the English League Two, with 5/6 still the best price available at StarSportsBet.
Shrewsbury won 3-2 at Broadfield Stadium on 20 October, snatching the points with a stoppage-time winner.
Crawley have conceded at least 2 goals in their last 6 League Two matches, and over 2.5 goals have gone in during 5 of those 6 outings.
Crawley are the clear favourites in the market, ahead of Newport County at 11/2 with Betfair Sportsbook.
Tuesday night summed up Crawley's season in 90-odd minutes. Ade Adeyemo put the home side in front early, and for a moment it looked like the mood might lift. Instead, Shrewsbury turned it round through Josh Davison and George Lloyd, with Davison's winner landing deep in stoppage time to seal a 3-2 defeat at Broadfield Stadium. It followed a 2-1 loss on the road at Salford City, so this is not one bad night. It is a side that keeps finding ways to come up short.
The real worry is at the back, and that is what has moved the market. Crawley have conceded at least 2 goals in each of their last 6 League Two matches, and have lost 5 of those 6 outings. You simply cannot climb the log while shipping goals like that, however often you find the net at the other end. Colin Kazim-Richards took charge in March and oversaw 16 squad additions for this campaign, but a rebuilt group is still leaking soft goals late in games. Small wonder the price on Crawley to be relegated from the English League Two has been cut.
English League Two Relegation odds
Best odds 5/6 with StarSportsBet, worst 8/11 with Paddy Power for Crawley to be relegated from the English League Two. PricedUp also matches the top price, while Betfred, Skybet and Betfair Sportsbook all sit at the shorter end of the range.

Will Crawley be relegated from the English League Two?
Crawley are the clear favourites at a best price of 5/6 with StarSportsBet, and nobody else in the English League Two odds comes close. Newport County and Accrington make up the chasing pack, and they did each other few favours when they played out a goalless draw at the Wham Stadium on 19 September. Swindon complete the leading group, but on these prices the bookmakers see this as Crawley's race to lose, and the defensive numbers back that view.
Crawley – 5/6 with StarSportsBet, the clear favourites after a run of defeats and soft goals conceded.
Newport County – 11/2 with Betfair Sportsbook, the nearest challengers in the market.
Accrington – 13/2 with Betfair Sportsbook, close behind Newport after their stalemate in September.
Swindon – 8/1 with Bet365, completing the leading four.

How do Crawley avoid being relegated from the English League Two?
It starts with stopping the bleeding at the back. Tranmere visit on 24 October before a trip to Oldham, and those two outings feel like a fork in the road. The Guardian reported at the start of October that Kazim-Richards and assistant Julian Gray were still working through tactical and chemistry problems after a summer of heavy squad churn, and the late goals suggest those issues have not gone away. Until Crawley can see out a lead and keep the opposition to fewer than two goals, the market will keep pointing the same way. Our view is that the cut is justified, and that short price reflects a defence that has given the bookmakers no reason to look elsewhere.
