Lewis Young faces his old club this weekend and insists despite his feelings towards them, Crawley will go there looking for a win.

The Reds man played 17 times for Yeovil in a season that ended in play-off triumph and promotion to the Championship.

He said: “They have had an upturn in results recently, from talking to Wardy (Darren Ward) who was here last year they seem to have turned a corner and fingers crossed they keep picking up results, just hopefully not on Saturday.

“I would be dissapointed if they went down of course, they’ve got a massive part in my life because my son was born there, it’s a place that I hold close to my heart.”

Crawley go into the game with a poor away record of four successive defeats and have not won on the road since October.

The defender said: “The main thing I’m looking forward to is trying to put an end to our bad away record, it’s something that we’ve looked at and it’s something we want to make amends to because our home form has been brilliant of late.”

When talking about why there is a dip in away form the 26-year-old couldn’t quite put his finger on a reason.
