    So, so unjust

    Of course you can. Cos there is no way we should have lost that game 3-0. Ian Wallace said that exact same thing at the final whistle. He said we should have won that game and deserved to win that game. The result was unjust. I recall going to Stoke away, many, many years ago and we were all...

    So, so unjust

    Had loads to do with the rub of the green. Baker's shot that hit the post could so quite easily have gone in and the balls from the rebounds and saves weren't quite just falling for us. No way we had the rub of the green tonight. some poor finishing, great keeping, but lots of ill luck too.

    Play offs

    We need to replace Wood. Simple as. Don't care how well he has been playing. With him at the heart of the defence we lack pace and agility. Think this is partly down to why our home form has been so rocky. Teams know they can counter attack us and have success and invariably a lot of it comes...

    Big Home Crowd Syndrome

    Because it is such fine margins and football in a lot of ways is not quite so simple. We play well and lose and people say we were shite. We play badly and win and everyone's happy. Had 3 of those chances gone in and we had won, but played exactly the same way everyone would have been saying...

    Big Home Crowd Syndrome

    But my point is, every other time we have played poorly and not turned up. Today we did. Today we played well. Big difference. The other occasions we just have been lacklustre and not played to our potential. Today was nearly all about ill luck.

    So, so unjust

    The subs just didn't come off at all and added nothing. Gamble worth trying though. The players had given everything. Today we just didn't get the rub of the green. I thought we could have had a penalty in the first 20 seconds when Baker was bundled over. Anywhere else on the pitch and that...

    Big Home Crowd Syndrome

    Yet today was different! Has been the argument in the past, but every time in the past we have failed to turn up and not looked half the side we have been capable of being. Tonight we played well and there is no doubt we should have won that game. We just didn't get the rub of the green. I...

    Knobend on pitch

    Violent conduct? If that was violent conduct then I am a nun. All he did was trip him to slow him down, so the stewards could get to him. Violent conduct my arse! Booking was totally unjust.

    So, so unjust

    Yet we could have scored 6. We gave their defence the run around. No reason to believe we can't do that again at Gresty Road.

    What, a small thin bloke, bald but with curly hair, who sweats a lot and keeps saying 'err' all the time?

    Player Ratings vs Crewe

    Would agree with nearly all that, apart from Edge, who did win some headers I thought and wasn't that bad. For me the weak link at the back is Richard Wood. He didn't play at all badly today, but he lacks agility and has little pace. Opposition players know they can run at him and beat him for...

    crewe 2nd leg ticket

    Think people may well pay you £20 to take it off their hands! ;) I still feel we can beat them by 3 goals though. We quite clearly should have done tonight. We should have had 5 or 6. Just didn't get the rub of the green. We are better away, so of course we can still do it. No doubts about...

    The people sitting immediately next to me were fine. The ones in the surrounding areas, not so.

    Player Ratings vs Crewe

    Would have given Clarke a 6. Thought he looked sluggish, but at the same time he did give their defenders a bit of a torrid time. 2 most dangerous players were Baker and McSheff without any shadow of a doubt.

    Player Ratings vs Crewe

    Moussa made the wrong decision in good positions on a number of occasions. His distribution in and around the box was very poor too. Deserved a 5 at best. Good when he had the ball at his feet but his distribution and crossing especially was nothing short of dreadful

    So, so unjust

    Crewe will not camp out in front of their own goal in the home leg. No way! Not in front of their own fans they won't.

    Plastics

    i am guessing they were plastics anyway! 35 mins. An awful lot of people went down to the malls. An awful lot didn't come back to their seats until the 1st minute of the 2nd half. There were 2 mins of added time, so they disappeared for 13 mins. 2 blokes by me didn't come back until the 55th...

    So, so unjust

    We cannot score? What are you talking about? We have scored 2 goals in each of the last 3 games. We now have 51 goals in 31 games. Course we can score!

    So, so unjust

    Play that game over again though and we could have easily had 5 or 6 goals. Yes, we can win by 3 clear goals. Course we can. Our away form has been very, very good. Get an early goal in the 2nd leg and Crewe could start wobbling.

    Knobend on pitch

    Should have been given a medal. A yellow card was ridiculous. It was Christie.
