Crewe have a dreadful away record in the league. They have won one in ten away from home in the league, covering last season in League Two and this season in League One. Their single win in ten was a 1-2 victory away at Walsall back on 1 February. They have lost both their away games in League One this season without scoring a single goal.
You have got it in one Paul, this game will show how the team react to a little success and how much they want more. The minute they relax and start to think it will be easy is the time they will come unstuck. I am sure Darren and his team will be well aware of it and will keep the young side on the right track helped by older players like Taylor and Copps who have tasted success before in their careers.
Who mentioned Crewe going 10 away games without a win? Keep stum from now onwards please. Kiss of death.
I'm afraid Fej's misses cost us that game.

You do realise don't you that those results had already happened and were public knowledge? Knowing what has taken place in the past is not some kind of mystical power that can dictate the events of the future. That we lost today had nothing to do with someone looking down a list of past results.
We will play much worse teams than Crewe this season but we went completely off the boil after Crewe scored the free kick. Still had enough chances to have won the game. Not our day today.
Turning a negative into a positive. The last time we lost at home to Crewe in Nov 2012 we went on to win the league.

But theyre down at the bottom struggling. I just think we need to find a way of beating the sides which were expected to beat, we can’t break teams down
Crewe played us and the ref like a kipper.I really hate those antics like when they were trying to get Halliday sent off for a fair challenge, deliberately making it look like a foul. Reminds me of the antics of Evans and Raynor. I didn't think it was a foul for their free kick either. Ref fell for it. And please tell me where the foul was right at the end when it should have been either a pen or a corner!! We didn't play badly today and things didn't quite drop for us or we didn't make it count at critical moments. Sometimes very fine lines. There were times through the game when we hesitated, either making the pass or taking the shot, for no good reason. The extra touch gives defenders/keepers a chance. Quite ironic when the commentators talked about us being patient, which we were, and us dominating possession and territory. Then Goodwin couldn't resist uttering the the immortal negative line.. “I hope we don't come to regret.... “ Boom. 2-1 to them!Good job games come thick and fast. No time to dwell on this. Move on.
Crewe played an excellent press on us and I'm afraid we weren't good enough to counter it. No real complaints but we do need to show we are able to overcome that sort of press. It does leave gaps behind if you are sharp and slick enough to offload the ball to a colleague as the press comes in. Today we just weren't. Not often enough anyway. All that said, there was a stonewall handball penalty for us near the end. I don't like carping on about refs but I'll make an exception here. Today's was awful from start to finish. He never once pulled them up for manhandling players and that set the tone from the off.

The ball got fired against the defender who looked like he handballed it at stomach height, then the cheating bas**rd went down clutching his head.
