Former Liverpool defender Maguire is 'really enjoying' life at Crawley who he said have high expectations for the season after clinching their fifth successive home league victory.
When asked how the squad differs from other teams he has played for, the on-loan Fleetwood defender added: "This one is a little more together. I am really enjoying it here.
