The stats

[Wartman]

Lost 12 of the last 15 league games scoring 9 goals and conceding 31 how an earth can that be a team that is improving. It is interesting that it seems the members of the Dave Artell fan club seem to be waning or just embarrassed that others are being proven right about him.

I heard McGarry say last night that we have the worst stats since 1955 and is that 9 defeats from the last ten? As I said I like DA and he a real Crewe Supporter but I don't think he has ever accepted he is part of the problem...The BoD have failed the fans, its as simple as that...I mean advertising for more coaches and a so called data and logistics manager is taking the p*ss surely. I think we had just over 3000 home fans last night and that will only get worse and how are they going to hype up the ST next time after such an abysmal season?

DA seemed to be telling the Board what is required here, rather than the other way around and more background staff? They surely have lost the plot and its a new board..

BTW you know that hyped up new scoreboard they were telling us about? A little tiny thing in the corner? Go and look at the Stockport one where 8000 turned up last night to watch them win..Now THAT is a scoreboard and is that the best we could have done? The only good thing is I'm not paying good money to watch this dross.

This current board and first team manager have made this club a complete and utter laughing stock and they all should leave.

No, just bored with your equally predictable over the top criticism of all aspects of the club. Yes we are getting relegated, that's been pretty obvious for quite a while. There is no real reason to expect we will struggle in league 2, that's for next season, and we will see.

Hear hear RWS.

Hmmmm, I wonder? I have loved this club since i was ten years old and will always do so....But our form has never been so bad for nigh on 70 years and so should fans just accept whatever will be will be and no criticism? No scouting as we have too many kids to coach?

Can not someone see that our model has changed and we no longer can sell players for even a million and even that would only be a break even figure YEAR on YEAR? and the graduates from the academy will never be satisfied to stay on like they used to...But in fairness its their money and until that runs out then let them experiment as much as they want to and take on many more non players at the expense of the first team.

Fans will vote with their feet eventually and think the last time I looked, the club will lose around £150K by being relegated and IF this forum is representative of the fans, then that died a long long time ago and why the Board hasn't acted like they would be forced to do at any other club. DA at least knows how lucky he is to still be the manager here...Nobody can criticise any aspects of the club that has been in freefall most of the season and if they are paying fans, even more so, if not and they are content with all that, that is their call. I've always thought Pro Football was a 'man's game and youth players don't fit in well as they are not physically able to compete unless they are very very good and they only come along now and then and the daft part is there are literally hundreds if not thousands of players out there far better than us but we cannot afford them as we spend all our money on a hope, wing and a prayer that the 'next batch' will be better..Its why almost no club in L1 and L2 and no club in the National League has or could ever afford a Cat2 academy and yet all have academies...I suppose being the only one out of step can bear fruit once every now and then?

[MikeSB]

At least I think I have been vinicated that 'coaching' is useless and is a job creation scheme here and I will give two examples...Our GK stuck on their line like I have never seen in my life over the years and we have a GK 'coach'.

Full backs that don't or won't tackle and allow crosses to come in...and Long had the ball at Sunderland with only the GK to beat and yet blasts the ball 20 yards wide of the target? Why don't these players just go on youtube and see HOW others did it like Jimmy Greaves who never blasted the ball in his life and stroked the ball past the GK....We don't need a million pound a season academy to know this??...

You are either good enough or not good enough and imv our team will struggle in the National League never mind L2. Rodney Jack was a coach here and so I ask again, how many academy players came along to play the game like he did? I will tell you...None! Not one player in the old days were coached or had the facilities and pitches they have nowadays and yet some fans think we could not exist without one.....They really do have blinkers on....and coaching 5 year olds? Please do me a favour!!!

I tell you what it’s a good job football management is not a results based business oh wait a minute it is !!!!!!! It is the willing acceptance of utter and dismal failure that I find surprising a half decent Crewe side would have comfortably been able to survive in league 1 this season and the clubs board and manager have not managed to even get close to delivering that. It s failure with a capital F and utter negligence to once again push the club close to dropping out of the football league when our 1 division buffer disappears, and in doing so are demoralising our young players who this club will be expecting big things from next season, the biggest job will be rebuilding the entire playing squads confidence which has been seriously damaged by some pretty abject management from the board and Artell.

Not lethargy at all. Just bored with the same stuff being trotted out by yourself ( the previous Lowery denier) and Lazarus who harps on incessantly about coaching, the academy, Jimmy Greaves etc. I’m sure he just copies and pastes old posts. There really is no wonder it’s just you two, with some sense from Gazan, Timmy and a few others with occasional posts. The rest of us, are, as RWS says, bored of it.
