Crewe Alexander Post Match Thoughts

[uttis]

Just thinking there’s probably 23 other teams fans in this division moaning saying their team should be higher scored more/conceded less goals
Yes we are frustrated yes we should have more points but look at the league table we are 5th and are going to improve presumably as arguably we haven’t found top form yet I don’t know if it’s old age but nowadays I’m really chilled if results don’t go our way don’t get me wrong I want to win every game and hate to see us lose but we are in a division with some so called big hitters so a top half finish will be fine by me and we at the moment are on course to do that I know a lot on here will disagree and don’t get me wrong Warne drives you nuts with some of his decisions but let’s chill a bit we’ve made a good start good not outstanding granted

We must have the best central midfielders in this division,we just need that poacher to come to the table.There's no doubt we make lots of chances and it's just that missing piece of the jigsaw we've got to fill.Could it be we play Ogbene down the middle with Miller on the wing?

Zak Dingle, would be a good poacher to fetch to the table.

Young lad Bennett on loan from Tottenham Hotspur, wasn't in the Crewe squad for yesterdays game,
David Artell probably thought the Millers might ruff him up.

It's all down to opinions gru, and I do think it was linesman that gave it, and whilst I thought it was a stonewaller from what I've seen on telly, you probably make a good point about it being in front of their own supporters so officials may have been put under pressure. UTM

Looked that way to me too from my perch in the West Stand.

Same angle ( but higher up) than the linesman, looked like a pull back on the shoulder of the Crewe player. Said to young Grist straight away, “ that’s a pen”

Yeah Grist, silly one to give away but we move on to tuesday and hopefully get the hatful of goals we have threatened all season, but Wimbledon are no mugs and usually score themselves. UTM

Considering how frustrating many of the games have been this season so far we are 5th. 5 points off top. Not doing too bad considering how useless our strikers, defenders and management team are to some. Like someone said, iron out a few bits and no reason we can't win the league. We just have to be clinical.

But we could be top and if we don’t go up then I’m guessing there’s a problem

Tbh I don’t know why I’m surprised (well actually I’m not) that we didn’t win, we seem to be somewhat useless when playing supposedly crap teams, not saying it’s down to certain people but it needs looking at and try to see what the problem is, maybe it’s the mentality of it

True, but in fairness we have only 'clicked' in the last 3 games where I think we have our best midfield formation and Dan back in form. So our current position, if we can maintain the basic form and find a scoring touch then I think we can improve on that position. The problem is where will the goals come from if Grigg becomes Freddie #2? I think that our high press and defenders going forward will always lead to goals being conceded, but we need to make the most of that strategy in producing goals if that is to continue being our way of setting out. Otherwise, we will have to rething, become more defensive minded and aim to sneak on the counter. But not sure anyone wants that!

[Ericsladkilnhurst]

Do we need Barker to take Smith, Ladapo & Grigg down to Roundwood, & get them
practicing shooting for 3-4 hours a day.
Plus getting Ogbene to cross a ball.

Plus don't our coaching team see that we need a player on the far post, when attacking
from set pieces etc.

If that happens I might have to go to training and have a word

Like “ni”

That should scare them
