    Hit Them Hard 1st 15min

Like the previous comments there was a big difference when Hollands went off. The stability in the centre of the pitch was lost. Hopefully he wont be out for too long as we need his experience.
    I liked how the ref kept the play going when some of there players were rolling around on the floor after being tickled by some of our defenders. Made then look like silly at times.
    A classy performance on Saturday and a real battle last night.Roll on Saturday.
    Many teams hit C.A.Hard it the first 15 min as they know some players will not come back for more,old Pros dont like kids giving them the run around.

    Six points after the last 2 games and still 6 points off bottom 2,so it was badly needed.

    Last night only 2 teams from the bottom 6 lost,they are all picking up points now,so although the Crewe Wheel is fixed on again it will not take to much to bring it off,but at least they are competing more as normally Crewe would have lost that game in the past.

    We would have lost last night's match had it been played a month ago. Seldom do well against sides like that who, as MoMS said, pushed, pulled, shoved and then fell over when someone nearby breathed heavily. Despite the young lads having little or no experience of playing against that brand of 'football', especially Wintle, I thought they never gave up, were up for the battle and it was as satisfying, in many ways, as the 5-0 on Saturday.

    Dagnall was again outstanding, and I was impressed (again) by Gorgeous George at the heart of the defence - up for the fight but still showed ability with the ball at his feet.

    Winning matches in 2 totally different ways must have delighted the manager and given the whole squad a boost for the rest of the season. A word for Artell, too - great to see him animated in the last 2 matches, generally applauding the team's efforts at both ends of the pitch; what a contrast to his predecessor.
