Barker challenges Neilson

Crawley manager Richie Barker has challenged Scott Neilson to produce the form he showed in midweek on a regular basis.

Midfielder Neilson has found his first-team chances limited so far this season with Town having won six of their seven matches. But the 25-year-old gave his manager food for thought when he climbed off the bench to score a fantastic 25-yard winner against Gillingham in the Johnstone's Paint Trophy. "If he stays with us then there is a chance he will get an opportunity to be an even better player," said Barker. "We hope he stays because we know he has that kind of quality, and if he continues to produce like that he will get opportunities, that's for sure."
