Great result in the end. The first half Crewe played us off the park. Harvey Rodgers defended brilliantly but his forward play was poor. We could easily have in at half time 3 or 4 down. we fought back well in the second half although we snatched the game I can't understand why we didn't use our subs more effectively. The Don did come on second half in place of Husin. We should have put young Edwards on and rested Billy who got another battering. But Crewe played some beautiful football. Our passing is so poor at times. The video will make a great training video. But the run goes on.
 
Some of us has been saying this for weeks

We have noticed for at least the last 6/8 weeks he seems to have gone off his game. We have better players on the bench who can't get a game. I Coley needs to open his eyes a bit more, I am sure he would be loathed to change a winning team but I am a little concerned at the lack of use of the subs. But the run goes on.

I think Omar has got it into his head he's a better player than he is. All he does is direct people what to when he needs to concentrate on his own game, very poor player. Yozzer Hughes was immense today as was young Harvey
 
What a comeback! And good results for Carlisle and Exeter too.

Reckon a mere 12 points from 5 games might steal it? Newport might be the one we lose - they are putting some decent results together.

Gutted not to have been there.

Can't believe the anti Omar stuff I'm reading. Fair enough if he was poor today but even at his worst he usually does well in my opinion.

Anyway, I see the opinion of the person who matters most is now available. Off for a listen....

He's been a liability for a few months now don't know who he thinks he is
 
What the hell has happened to Carlisle?

Seems they were a 1 man team and completely reliant on the striker they sold in Jan
 
Don't normally comment but after today's result I can't resist.
First half we had the possession but our passing choices from ever area just invited pressure. Thought Conneely was poor first half and the first goal came from him losing possession. Omar and Rodgers both seemed to lose the plot when passing but all over the park we seemed to think we were better than them but fair play to Crewe they were up for it more. They only had two real chances but buried them both.
2nd half we eventually woke up and there was only one team in it.
As for man of the match, as much as Shay was a threat 2nd half and scored a cracking goal I thought Hughes was the stand out performer (even without his goals) he didn't miss a beat.
I agree sub's could be used more and whilst I agree Edward's has a part to play he can't do what Billy does - as much as he's bigger I'm not sure he's the type of player to get one on one with a centre half - would you therefore take Shay off instead?
Overall a superb result and shows what a team spirit we've got. Next week is the big one - let's invade the seaside and show them who really is the pride of Lancashire!

The fact that Crewe were a very good side, with a very good midfield in particular makes the victory so much better.
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 !
 
Can't add much more to Yonmon's post - except brilliant second half lads, just brilliant!! Can't wait for next week's encounter with Blackpool - don't like to even breathe it but it's starting to look like 2010/11 season all over again - bring it on! :)
 
Not a very active forum, subject 'Match Predictions', only three comments, last one two & a half hours before kick-off!!
Must be a better forum somewhere, or are they not 'tech savvy' in that particular part of Cheshire?

Probably not, they're caught somewhere in the no mans land between being Mancs & Scousers, bound to screw anyone up :rolleyes:
 
first half was back to november and december again. second half for me the best 45 of the season. a comeback like that is even sweeter when it,s against crewe. hope we can do the same at stevenage.
