Thanks for putting that in an order that will resemble the formation, my old brain gets frazzled from time to time trying to work out the line up when its in squad number order!

Seen nothing special from Crewe we have had it all our way apart from the first 5mins when they got a quick couple of corners.  LM is very quiet maybe more down to him having 2 on him most of the time, ref done well, hope I’m not speaking to soon on that one.

Hope in the 2nd half with the sun in Crewe keepers eye we can get some more shots off
Title: Re: TLOD vs Crewe
Post by: IDM on October 12, 2024, 03:53:48 pm
I think Crewe look very bell organised and decent on the ball.

Ref missed a couple of obvious yellows.

Unlucky with the free kick - great save.

Open game could go either way I think.

Rovers on the right side not prepared to try taking the ball past the opponent. Commentator says "forced back" each time we get possession with space to run into but instead turn and pass back.

Looked off to me. Really frustrates me when a player is caught offside at a set piece, it’s not hard to stay on unlike when you’re waiting for a pass.

Rancid goal to concede that. Starting with Flemings awful in field ball and ending with McGrath sitting on his arse far too easily.

Yes blame starts with that crossfield ball but i just stated it wasnt him who gave it away initially. After that it was a collection of s**t.


I think it was molly who headed back to the crewe player

Cant have that. Billy was shaping up for the header before the keeper missed it. 4yds out and he headed it over. It probably would of gone in if he just stood there and it bounced off him.

Decent game. Crewe defended exceptionally well and had us completely worked out, forcing us to play a lot of sideways and backwards passing, rather than those cutting one twos of last week. They were slick with the ball and got what they came for a breakaway goal, and a good one. Couldn’t see us scoring at all.
Then we did a Crewe on Crewe with a breakaway with fast smart passes and a good finish.
The changes then seemed to upset Crewe’s rigid plan, and in the end we should have won it.

In real time from the south stand I thought the keeper touched the ball onto the bar.
Billy was definitely in an offside position when Gibson struck the free kick but with all the rule changes I don’t know whether the touch by the keeper makes him offside afterwards.
The missed header by Billy just before the end looks to me like the keeper got the faintest of touches but just enough to put Billy off.
Hurst really ought to have scored that chance he put over the bar.
A really good game though and I enjoyed it.
Crewe are a good side and well organised and I expect them to be up there with us at the end of the season.
We were the better side in the first half and I had it evens after the break.
The ref was pretty good to which helped my enjoyment of the game.
Title: Re: TLOD vs Crewe
Post by: IDM on October 12, 2024, 07:13:36 pm
I thought that was a decent game.  A little bit more accuracy when we were finishing strongly and it would be a great 3 points.  Crewe looked organised and disciplined, but they didn’t threaten too much did they.?

A draw is always a decent result when coming from behind..

Not sure about the sponsors MotM.?  I thought or CB pair did very well, the only weakness in our defence coming when they scored..
