Time to be positive

Ok, before I start, I will acknowledge a few facts:

1. Last night was disappointing - especially with how close we were to a ***** 3 points
2. It's been a really disappointing season. Made more disappointing by the fact that (before Cornwall), no one saw it coming
3. We were particularly poor in the first half of the season... One of the worst few months we have endured as Crewe fans
4. The results since the Port Vale game have been disappointing.
5. Steve has made some errors this year, particularly with his pre-season signings

However, even acknowledging all of the above, some of the negative views on here are over the top at very best. Interestingly, when our form went on an upward turn, the frequent negative posters went noticeably quiet. Now that we haven't won for a few games (3 out of 4 games against teams in and around play-off positions), said posters seem to have taken great pleasure in airing 'I told you so type views'.

The next 2 months are *****. There is still nearly a

You obviously weren't with us last night ODA. The positive vibe among the Alex fans was electric - as well as being a little too noisy and sometimes vehement for my tender ears X-D. OK, there were some grumbles and negatives, but these were confined to conversations.
Yet again, the Alex fans stayed behind to applaud SD and the team. If we do go down it will not be the fault of the 'Travelling Alex'. From what I have seen this season they have, by and large, been true ambassadors for the club.

And if you want positives out on the pitch just read out thes of the individuals who were on that surprisingly green and healthy turf.

I do, however, agree with you. :-D

No I couldn't get there last night as I am away working in Durham. However, I believe the supporters were there in numbers and it sounded great on the radio. Well done to all those that went.

More in reference to what gets posted on here. All for opinions (you and I have disagreed in the past AL), but I am led to believe that this board gets read by players and management. They need to know that we are behind them.

When you consider that we got beat comprehensively at home by Walsall, , although very disappointing to concede in inury time, our performances, team spirit have certainly improved from those inept and gutless performance which plagued the early season.


That has to give us all hope.

Good post ODA. Oldham & Notts are definitely winnable, Gills seem to have turned a corner, but Coventry aren't anything to be scared of.

Keep the faith B)

Under the circumstances I reckon the majority of us on here are being pretty positive with just 10 games remaining. My concern right now is our reliance on one player to score the majority of the goals (in fact, he is scoring nearly all of them at present). I just hope that Chucks does not get an injury or a 3 match ban, because he is the reason why we are not down and out right now. We need others to step up to the plate in our quest for goals.

Second what ODA has to say about the support. Sounded fantastic over the radio last night. Yet another reason to bunch together at away games (unlike Stevenage for example); always creates a better atmosphere!

Keep the faith, ladies and gents. The lads need us more then ever at the minute!

Now is the time to be counted,everyone on Saturday should be more vocal,main stand as well.
Win or lose on Saturday,dont leave the ground early,give the lads a great round of applause,you know I make sense. :D :D

I would say that since Xmas, the atmosphere has been excellent in the main stand (apart from the silence for the Brentford game, when we had nothing at all to shout about, they were too good for us). There has been much encouragement shouted out from the stands, spurring the players on, even when the opposition have netted. When the players give their all (which they have in the main since the turn of the year), then the fans reciprocate.

Everyone has been saying all this as we run out of games,SD said we had 13 cup finals which is now 10, we've only won 1 of the last 6 games and a continuation of this won't be enough, time for everyone else apart from Chucks to get their fingers out esp the defenders!
