The thing that really baffles me, is how our Manager can say,"We played well first half"?? Everyone i spoke to at half time had the complete opposite view, me i thought we were very poor first 45 mins.

I had a premonition that this game would prove to be tougher than we all expected.
At half time I thought our dreams were well & truly over.
A few months ago the result could have turned into an embarrassing rout.
However, such is the current confidence that when our first goal went in I knew we'd get at least a draw and following the second, I knew we'd win!
Now I truly believe anything is possible.

Agree in the pub pre-match i said we would win, cos Crewe are a footballing side, which they certainly are, at half time, i was convinced we were knackered, aint life a funny owd thing.

Chris Dagnall showed that he is still one of the Leagues better strikers and still possesses a great turn of speed, which firstly makes Mark Hughes' display exceptional, whilst outlining perhaps one reason for Omar's apparent lethargy !.
Their No.24 was outstanding and his goal, Crewe's first, was really well struck and caught Marek totally by surprise.
I'm beginning to sound like The Railwaymen's number one fan !...so I'll just say well done Reds not only for your application but for once again showing a great team spirit when faced with a mountain to climb.
Finally a word of praise for JC whose half-time introduction of Don really did make a difference, but more so for creating a second-half team of winners from 11 lads who had been under the cosh for 45 minutes !.

KTF ....with pride !

Don't think a keeper should be taken by surprise when a player runs into shooting position looks up at the goals and then shoots

Did we move Matty into centre mid in second half?,if so,that's a great move from Coley,despite Yonmons insistence he can't play there !! Lol.
Only downside yesterday was me trying to follow the game whilst competing on the golf course in Spain.
Going two down caused me to have two blobs and I eventually come second,by one point,dam you Acci !!!

Yes we did mate and yes it was!!

Changed the game completely, he just rampaged all over the midfield - and the pitch

Matty P. and Noor, does not work - in my opinion, but Matty and Seamus does

Can see Husin been replaced with brown now he's back from suspension

Got to question Brown's overall discipline and number of games that causes him to miss. He's been sent off 3 times this season, resulting in him being banned for 10 games. Add in the 2 games he didn't finish with being sent off (his sending off at Colchester was on 92nd minute). Looking at this over a season, that's 12 games he's missed - our club can't carry a first team pick who's making himself unavailable for 1/4 of our games.

He should be experienced enough now at 31 or 32 to manage his way through games better.

To be honest Joe I would play him there for rest of the season.
What other centre mid rampages forward,scores goals,defends brilliantly,drives the team forward and has an unbelievable engine?
Another nugget polished by Coley,long may it continue!!

That makes good sense to me.

I was at the game but had to shoot off straight after to attend a function in Yorkshire.
Whether I'm quiet or not is irrelevant.
First half extremely poor and credit to the gaffer for tightening up centre mid.
Found myself feeling a little sorry for Crewe. Cooper is a great player can see him going on to bigger things. Daggers great as ever full of running - you can tell he's played at a higher level.
Second half closed them down pinned them in and got rewards.
Had that game been just before Xmas we'd have got tanked by 4.
Confidence ......

What I should have reported perhaps, after watching the highlights,was that the quality of the finish took Marek by surprise !.....would you concur that this version is more apposite ?.

I didn't mention either that watching The Reds lay seige to Crewe's goal-area to a degree where their defence had little or no answer to the battering was most satisfying !.

KTF....with pride !.

There's a lot of love for some of these Crewe players about this weekend they weren't that good! Cooper looked half decent but also a right f**** and a big time Charlie to boot

Based upon what Sir ?
Cooper is a talent.
First half they took us to the cleaners.
