Hi Red & White. Alistair
Thank you for thinking of us. First time I have logged on to this forum for a long time, so I missed your message until tonight. Following the way that we were treated...
A fantastic achievement from Dave Artell, Kenny Lunt and the rest of the lads. Yesterday, we made it 8 consecutive home victories by defeating Stevenage 3-1. Now we are top of the league, leading...
Having lost only once in the past 10 games, this one will be a tough test for the lads, as Artell also points out. Also they beat Northampton 4-0, so they will be no pushovers. When we won at their...
I will attempt to give a balanced viewpoint.... The three points are very welcome. Sadly, the performance was below our usual standard (as also noted by our manager), with the opposition really...
Yes, Anene was carrying an injury (I found this out subsequently). During the match I thought he looked out on his feet, but now we know why. I suppose Powell could have been used in the middle as...
Swindon 3 Alex 1
Need to go on a very good consistent run with for the next couple of months. Lagging behind the top two and sitting amongst a clutch of clubs on the same number of points....
Only Liverpool, Man City and West Brom have scored more goals than the Alex in 2019. That is one heck of a fine statistic. Just shows the great job the management team, players and supporters have...
Calling all Crewe fans.......
Remember, Remember 3rd Nov 1979.
Forget the events surrounding Guy Fawkes attempts to blow up the Houses of Parliament on 5th Nov 1605, but cast your mind back, if...
Just so happy that those who wanted Artell ousted only 10 months ago, failed to get their wish. Of course, I understood their frustration at the time, although I believed that things could get no...
I thought that the substitutions made all the difference and it was a pity they weren't added earlier. Exeter were big and bold, quicker to the ball and bossed the first half. Calamity of a goal to...
UPDATE. OCTOBER 2019. Thankfully we kept hold of the manager who believes he has a dream job. He knows what side his bread is buttered. Working class northern bloke whose honesty shines through...
Feet firmly on the ground right now..... so really hope the lads don't let us down tomorrow, as expectations are high. All too often, when we get into a position like this, they don't perform to...
Crewe Alex Update.
After our Happy Easter and nine beautiful points amassed, let us complete the season on a high. Yes, play-offs are "highly unlikely" now (Dave Artell's words), but until it is...
Don't worry about the opposition tomorrow. More concern over Storm Hannah. We don't like wet (Oldham can vouch for that). ;)
I was right about Hunt today. MOTM according to Radio Stoke commentary. Another excellent, if unexpected result from DA and the boys. Play-offs? Doubt it. Very much doubt it. Pity we lost those...
I would hope that Hunt plays once again in defence. We have generally done well when this man has figured. I would not play Jones in midfield. The side that played last weekend, including star...
Or better still. Where is there a MODERATOR when you need one?
I will name just one and he stands head and shoulders over the rest. Gordon Wallace. Promotion winner during the fantastic 1967-68 season. Unfortunately, he never recovered fully from a broken leg...
I have always been an advocate of Dave Artell and his efforts as Alex boss. However, on this occasion I do think he is being a little bit too stern on fans who were booing (saying they should stay...
Two important games at home coming up. Six points required to keep the momentum going. Not even considering play-offs at this point. We are nowhere near them IMO just yet. Keep aiming at quietly and...

Pity that fantastic away support was spoiled by those idiots who threw glass bottles onto the pitch. Flares? Away following spilling onto the pitch? Let the club down, more so than the goalie, I...
Cannot understand why you have highlighted Bowery's position being vulnerable, although each to their own. I reckon, although the goals in his game have been lacking, Bowery has been a huge...
Three year contract, as with those other promising youngsters, Jones, Kirk and Ainley. I believe Wintle is also tied up. Credit to Artell for his art of persuasion. Good for the long-term future...
