Crewe Alexandra FC 21 Sep 18:05 - CroutonRouge, 1253 views 3 replies
Problem last night was an over-reliance on two young players to carry the team. Robertson is class but early on misplaced quite a few passes that were leading to promising moves. Also for 20 minutes we were predictable in seeking out Bennett for ever - read more ...

Problem with the Chronicle and similar regional newspapers is that they have been taken over by larger and more centralised 'agencies' and so have little real contact with their communities. This is because they have closed a lot of local offices and - read more ...

At the moment, it's hard to see where Knight (and even more Long) come into the team when fit, but if they really contest for places we should be fine in attack! Not sure of our best midfield yet - where will Gomes play, instead of Ainley? Still wond - read more ...

That 'extra' home game may certainly be beneficial to a 'relaunch' of the season. I agree on the blooding of youngsters. I imagine Adebisi, Johnson, Lundstram, Griffiths and Onyeka will get plenty of games between them, this season. - read more ...
