I am with you, Me for Crewe. In the manager’s defence, Hunt is not a CB even though he’s filled in well in that position and he obviously thought Ray could handle Barnett better. It should also be pointed out that Ray was off the pitch when the smallest player on the pitch had a free header and Nicky made a Horlicks ofhis attempted lob back into the box to donate the third.

The frustrating thing was that even when we were down to 10 men we still passed the ball around them and were the more creative side. Hindsight is a wonderful thing but I’d have been tempted to leave Wintle at CB after Ray’s rush of blood, but agreed with Jones for Kirk to bolster the midfield. We could then have brought Miller and Dale on with 10-15 to go and stretched them - but that all fell apart after Waters’ goal.

Opportunity wasted, but blame is the captain’s not the manager’s.
