Lincoln away

[Alexandra The Great]

So is this the start of the new season and will the results still be the same . Already i can see us looking at the trapdoor but if we go down then there are more local games and larger crowds. So do we want to stay in Div 2 on small crowds or National football league with large crowds.

What a ****in' daft question! Oh yeh,we'll happily surrender our 96 year long stint in The Football League for the opportunity of locking horns with Chester,Wrectum and Macc Town again,albeit as a 'non-league outfit'.
It would be well worth the drop in kudos,image,prestige.NOT.

[Alexandra The Great]

We'll be okay in front of 8000 of our own supporters.

That's the spirit,comrade.

I think he was being a little ironic. Or if you prefer atg....taking the *iss......out of you!

Why not play 5-3-2 with three centre halfs if it height we are after.
Worry from Lincoln game for me is that we didn't score

Oh I'm well aware he was being sarcy.
But I don't care-I can feel the vibe and it's good and growing.Crewe are on the cusp of a surge in interest and passion which will benefit the club,and ofcourse the the town,for the immediate term.
Join with us! We've all got a part to play.

Another week or so and we will know the answer eh?

Another quote, apparently last Saturday was a baptism of fire for them and it was new to them. Which players exactly was it new to, and we were playing against a team from a league below us? Next Saturday we will be concentrating on picking our team to counter Stevenage, I'm sure that they will be worrying about us, not.

Maybe Steve was overawed with Lincoln, didn't he use them as an example last season as a club that are bigger than the Alex, with their bigger crowds, recent championship history and so on.

Totally agree, i have been saying that all summer. Both of our full backs are attacking and as Lincoln proved, we need more height for set pieces etc. You could play the following:

GK: Garratt
RWB: Turton
CD: Davis
CD: Nugent
CD: Guthrie
LWB: Bakayogo
CM: Jones
CM: Bingham
CM: Ainley
ST: Dagnall
ST: Lowe

However, SD won't play this formation as Cooper and Kirk are not included. Sod them in my opinion and try to play to our strengths.............if we have any.

[Furberstreet]

It will be Davis and Ray first choice CBs when they inspire little or no confidence. Guthrie and Nugent for me this season as the first choice. Agree that Davis should be moved on and , after a few games, so should his father.

Once again, we have no proper full backs and go 0-2 down in the first ten minutes. Did last season really end? Fully agree with Preston76 - when can we have the "like" button back?
