Might as well jump on this might I.

Oldham 4 – 3 Millwall.

Entertaining if not heart attack inducing game. Oldham played well throughout but dropped some absolute howlers in defence. Crossley proved yet again that despite his experience he can still make errors a 12 year old keeper would. At one point we were 1-3 down with Millwall only registering 2 shots on target.

Some good well worked goals scored to win us the game.

Kept a clean sheet last night in the League cup against Dale despite playing with 10 men for 75 minutes so things are looking up on the defensive front.

Leeds at Elland Road on Saturday for the title decider. £27 disgusting.

The Crewe rollercoaster has departed from the station. We look forward to the ups and downs, the thrills and spills, and the constant need for reality checks. To quote Bill Hicks, 'life is just a ride' - well strap in because here we go.

Saturday saw Crewe hosting Brighton and ended up losing 2-1. The Railwaymen were absolutely shocking from the kick-off and it only got slightly better towards the end. Brighton, in all fairness, could and should have won that match by eight clear goals so there must be some positives in there for Crewe, surely. The positive points were that Collis was an inspired signing as a keeper, Joel Grant (MoM) was a breath of fresh air and Elding lifted the team as soon as he came on.

The league points were lost but did the coaching staff learn from the experience? Yes they did and you won't believe how surprised I am at admitting that!

Yesterday's cup match against Barnsley saw Elding in the starting line-up and Crewe actually looked like a team who could compete. Grant, Moore, Pope and Elding ran their socks off and kept the crowd royally entertained.
To run out 2-0 winners was easily enough to satisfy the increasingly bad-tempered Gresty Road End mob and earn a second round tie against Bristol City at Gresty Road.

I for one will welcome Nicky Maynard back to Gresty Road as he served us well, both on the field and in providing (through his transfer) the much needed funds to keep Crewe in the black.

Enough said. If Crewe run true to form we will have a disastrous day away at Carlisle on Saturday, although I really hope not.

well we rinsed Bradford in the cup on tuesday.As it goes Grandpa Stan was far from impressed with our performance against Stockport labelling us "rubbish".he spent the whole first half looking mighty cross with his arms folded, come the 2nd half they decided to waken up & banged 4 in so he must have given them the bad news at halftime.Colchester away on saturday & if we scrape a draw i'll be happy.

PS The midfielder Roberts we signed from Ipswich looks a very good player.

You going tomorrow Jim?

Yes - You?

Correct.

Your defence was the worst I've seen from any side in this league since we rejoined it, simply terrible. We probably should have had 7 in all honest.

A positive was that the lad Grant looks very handy indeed.

Oh, and don't suppose you'll take that numpty Williams back will you?

Sounds very similar to our opener against Brighton last weekend. The Alex are reassuringly predictable.

Whilst the fans are happy with the investment up front (Grant, Elding, Zola) nothing has been done to improve the defence, which at times is completely useless and at other times plain crap.

Even a few games into the season it is apparent that Collis has far more to offer than Williams did so, no, you're stuck with him!

Elding was awful, he wandered around aimlessly for pretty much the entire game, I'm delighted we didn't sign him.

Mind you, the No.2 for you lot looked a pretty decent right back.

Surprises me about Elding, he was one of the few players to emerge from the Brighton game with any credibility and did OK against Barnsley as well. Supposedly he is not match fit but I would have expected him to be pretty much there by now.

The no.2, Danny Woodards is a reasonable player. He was transfer listed before the season because of his refusal to extend his contract. This is a typical ploy with Crewe to protect themselves against players going for nowt. No teams made an offer for him and I'm assuming he patched it up with Dario since he's still playing.

Man Utd been held at 1-1 here,cant wait to hear fergie blame the referee if Utd dont win.

That ain’t league 1.

Oh When The Blues …

As a Leicester fan, can I just say that I am mortified at having to contribute to this thread.

Leicester 3 Tranmere 1.

Go Foxes.

Next stop Cheltenham.

Crewe managed to win



Good 2-1 victory at home against Walsall. Very physical match but we held in there and took the points.

How are Hobbs and Martin doing from Liverpool?

You get used to it.....



More's the pity

Championship threads alright aint it

I'll let you know next season (hopefully).



Hope Donny stay up.

Leeds?

McAllister was an excellent player for Leicester before he went to Leeds.

Correct.

As for Gary, I still remember his goal for you guys the day we beat you 2-1 in our last home game of the '90 season. Cracking goal, and I was delighted just after that when we signed him.

BTW - How many times have you had "You're not famous anymore" already this season?

You'll get it again on September 2nd





We're an original bunch us City lot

Another fine win for The Railwaymen last night against Bristol City.

We are away at Hereford on Saturday. We can't lose there, can we?




I am just thankful that Crewe are still playing in this division.

My company is the matchball sponsor for the visit of Leicester, the last game of the season.
I have to be on my best behaviour this year as I came close to being thrown out of the directors lounge last season (a slight difference of opinion with the wife of one of the directors).

Sitting top of the league aren’t we, couldn’t go on Saturday because I was at Leeds festival, dad took my season ticket. Said we played OK in the battle of the hams but Cheltenham were awful.

Next up Colchester away Saturday.

"Oohhhh when the blueesss...."



Awesome start to the season so far - not getting my hopes up just yet. Some teams often start off flying every season and soon fall away, although Colchester should be a good test this weekend though.

Bit of a bump back down to earth last night I think. Saying that though we started with a weakened side.

Colchester will be a big game, these are the games we need to win though if we are going to push for it this season.

Hopefully we can keep everyone until the transfer window closes.

Sheridan’s Blue and White army!
