Stockport

[gazan]

Expect a very changed side for this match. I expect Golding, Dancey, Finney, (possibly) Croker, Powell, Tezgel and Moult will start.
Can't see us getting past the 1st round. 0-2.

[gazan]

As expected, and almost complete turnover of squad. He's also go for a back 3. No sign of Moult but Thibaut and Tezgel get to start up front. No 2nd round then.

Be a bit of a bummer if Stockport draw Everton or Man U in the next round!

It will - BBC think we're playing 4-3-3 with Croker RB and Moore LB, but then they think Dancey is starting up front!

[gazan]

Grimsby celebrating a win over United. A sell out crowd and prize money plus another possible pay day in the next round. What might have been if LB hadn't played a reserve team in the 1st round!

And Vale are at home to Arsenal........!

With our paper thin squad I don?t mind that we didn?t go all out against Stockport but some of my best memories as a Crewe fan are when we had home games against Liverpool when Jones had just gone there and Blackburn when they were close to the height of their powers. We got beaten but it creates a lot of excitement for the younger fans - would be good to be at least trying to make that happen.

I watched the game on TV and it was not just the weak team selection that was questionable. It was the attitude and tactics of our management team. From kick off it was obvious they had accepted that Stockport were the better team and we had to somehow stop them scoring. It was an awful display and I felt for any Alex fans who had wasted good money on that capitulation.

I agree with other posters, we deserved better, and Grimsby and Vale persevered whereas Bell and Dicker surrendered/
