Not sure about favourable run-in. Some teams may be near the bottom but my reckoning we've only beaten 6 of the 14 teams we're yet to play.

We don’t seem to have the mental strength to beat teams away from home in a league fixture of magnitude since Chesterfield(a) last season. When next season comes around we need a starting XI that aren’t just fast track bully’s and can go away from home against sides above us and win. I really thought we’d win today … it was all in our favour but …

The defence couldn't have been to bad today, we have conceded one goal away to the best team in the league.

Kyle Cameron can't defend. That's his problem. He's not bad on the ball, but he just doesn't have the instincts of a defender. If he has a bright future in football it won't be as a defender.

I would want better value for my money if I were dead pool

Think its pretty likely Wrexham will be promoted

He's an enigma - when we played Torquay away in the play-offs he looked great and had room to improve. At Notts he seems to have gone into his shell and relies on buying a free-kick too often instead of having the decisiveness to make an early decision which doesn't leave things to chance. I'd say if we want to challenge then we need better.

He's not the fastest, most technical or great in the air.

I'd say Baldwin showed when Wrexham had their period at the start of the second half how crucial he is to us. Someone of his calibre but maybe even a bit more rudimentary would be great.

My first choice back 4 for Crewe would be:
Macari Warner Baldwin Chicksen

And in the end its the ppints that matter

I don’t normally comment on refereeing performances and I’m not going to change the habit of a lifetime for that cretin.

In the end - it was the ref,s decision to diasallow goal that handed Wrexham all 3 points
