Craig Mackail-Smith hit a hat-trick, while Eberechi Eze also netted - with all four goals coming after the break - as Crawley were beaten 4-0 at Wycombe Wanderers.

Supporters grew increasingly frustrated as second half went on, while head coach Harry Kewell headed down the touchline directly after the final whistle - confronting several Reds supporters.

Speaking after the match at Wycombe, Crawley boss Kewell called on everyone to remain together.

He said: "We've all got to stick together and fight. Everyone understands that this is going to be tough, it's not going to be a stroll in the park. My players, myself, the staff and the fans all have to be together as one."

But supporters were less than impressed as their side slipped further down the League 2 table.

Taking to Twitter after the match, @johnjlucy wrote: ‘Tell him to keep walking - to the job centre.’

Lee Mason was also unhappy and said: 'Just leave our club already.'
