Crawley to finish bottom of the English League Two has drifted from 5/4 to a best price of 15/8 at Betfair Sportsbook as three bookmakers ease odds.
The odds on Crawley to finish bottom of the English League Two have drifted out from 5/4 to 15/8 with Betfair Sportsbook, and for the first time in a while the bookies are giving this squad some breathing room.
Crawley have drifted to a best price of 15/8 with Betfair Sportsbook, with three bookmakers easing their price on this relegation market.
Kevin Blackwell's first match in interim charge ended in a 1-1 draw with Tranmere.
Forward Dylan Morgan scored against Tranmere, his third goal in three matches.
Even after the drift, Crawley remain the clear favourites, ahead of Rochdale at 5/1 with Betfair Sportsbook.
The 1-1 draw with Tranmere was no masterclass, but it was a point, and after the week Crawley had, that counts for something. The previous outing was a 3-2 defeat to Shrewsbury that cost head coach Colin Kazim-Richards his job, and Blackwell stepped in on an interim basis with assistant coach Jordan Tait alongside him. A stubborn result in his first match is exactly what a side near the foot of the table needs after that sort of upheaval.
That's the main reason this price has eased. The market is reacting to stability more than results: owners KB Sports and Leisure have confirmed the search for a permanent manager is at an advanced stage, and Morgan is giving them a genuine outlet in front of goal. Let's not get carried away, though. This drift is built on a steadier dressing room and one in-form forward, not on a turnaround already completed, and Crawley will need more than a single point to really ease the pressure on this market.

Are Crawley favourites to finish bottom of the English League Two?
Yes. At a best price of 15/8 with Betfair Sportsbook, Crawley remain the clear favourites in this market. The drift has narrowed things, but it has not changed the order: nobody else in the betting is close to them yet, and one decent result does not wipe out a long winless run.
Crawley – 15/8 with Betfair Sportsbook. Out from 5/4, but still the side the market fears for most.
Rochdale – 5/1 with Betfair Sportsbook. Second in the betting and the nearest challenger.
Rotherham – 8/1 with Betfair Sportsbook. Part of the chasing pack.
Colchester – 8/1 with Betfair Sportsbook. Level with Rotherham at the same price.
Latest bookmaker offer
Will Crawley finish bottom of the English League Two?
Blackwell has already named Morgan as key to the survival fight, and he is right to build around him: the forward is the one part of this side doing the damage at the other end. Next up is a trip to Oldham in League Two, followed by Wimborne Town in the FA Cup, and the league outing is the one that matters for this market. Our take is that the drift is fair but not yet a reason to write Crawley off as favourites. If Morgan keeps scoring and the permanent appointment lands soon, Crawley's price in this relegation market can keep easing. If the winless run drags on, expect the bookies to pull it back in just as quickly.
