I bet most are wheeled out on Monday though!

Crewe did play a lot of youngsters in their last league game 19/20 year olds

I don't think Andrews played. Reckon they sneaked Tyson Fury on instead

Their manager started this silly mind games right from the off. Within hours he was saying Rovers were hot favourites and his little Crewe would have their work cut out to beat the mighty big team, boo hoo.  Let's be clear, Crewe's record against us is decent and we'll need to be at the top of our game. As said above by the OP, most of the alleged injured players will be wheeled out come Monday, Lazarus-like, and you can bet they'll all be up for the game. No-one will shirk an opportunity to play on the big stage with cameras and perhaps get a boost to their careers.

To take Crewe lightly would be very foolish. Grant will have the lads focused and well prepared for this game as he has done during our incredible push into the play offs.I am sure Crewe will be fully up and ready for this game irrespective of the ‘mind games’ concerning player availability. I am extremely confident we will come out on top over the two legs and go on to Wembley to clinch our promotion. RTID.

I am sure GM is several steps ahead of you here and I doubt that any Rovers fan will be with him
