Agree were were not at our best in the first half. Misplaced passes short and long and with more changes to the starting 11. Second half a lot better and we actually wanted to win the ball and get on the front foot. Finneys goal was great to watch f - read more ...

I will attempt to give a balanced viewpoint.... The three points are very welcome. Sadly, the performance was below our usual standard (as also noted by our manager), with the opposition really testing us fully and not deserving to lose. Leyton Orien - read more ...

Gosh MSB! I totally agree with you!!!!! As for packing the area, to my mind it causes more problems than it solves. Apart from the 'second phase' stuff mentioned above, it actually hinders the goalie and... if it's so technically advantageous, why h - read more ...

Crewe Alexandra FC 23 Dec 22:41 - jamesdad, 1399 views 9 replies
I think you will find that from the Cup replay Lowery was moved over to right midfield probably due to the fact that he was slowing our attacking moves. Hence in our recent matches 6 of 8 goals have come directly from the left side of our team. Cur - read more ...
