Dylan Morgan had given the Red Devils the lead in Kevin Blackwell’s first game in charge following the midweek sacking of Colin Kazim-Richards.

Blackwell took interim charge of Crawley admitting there was “a lot to lose” due to the position of the club, but insisted there was enough quality to turn things around.

The Red Devils threatened in the first minute when a goal-bound shot by forward Morgan was parried over the bar by alert keeper Luke McGee.

Rovers’ top-scorer Dylan Jones was denied by keeper Vito Mannone, who later also kept out the on-rushing Tom Ince.

McGee came to his side’s rescue just before the break with a double save to keep out efforts from Danilo Orsi and Morgan.

Morgan put Crawley ahead with his third goal in three games after 52 minutes, lashing in a half volley off the underside of the bar after a free-kick from Kellan Gordon was only half cleared.

But Vaulks levelled eight minutes later with a deflected low shot after good work by Tom Ince, and Rovers pushed hard for a winner in the closing stages as Crawley claimed only their second home point of the season.
