A 3-1 win over Leyton Orient on Tuesday put the League One leaders 11 points ahead of third-placed MK Dons and Freeman believes displaying that sort of form for the remaining 12 matches of the season will see them promoted.
Freeman scored one of the goals against Orient and he wants to see more of the same against Crawley.
"We've got to make sure we keep winning points and remain consistent," Freeman told the club's official website.
"We can do that, and at the moment the other teams around us can't, so we'll just keep building our way at the top of the table."
Just a point separates Simon Grayson's North End from their opponents, who are also pushing for automatic promotion under the guidance of Karl Robinson.
"Coming back just shows the character we've got in the dressing room – doesn't matter whether you're starting or not you're going to get 100 per cent from everybody and it's a pleasure to be a part of it," Beckford told the club's official website.
