    What a difference a couple of weeks makes....team playing with commitment and confidence.
    31 votes for an away win, 3 for a draw and no home wins.
    I would have went draw a few weeks ago, I cant see past an away win now.
    3-1, Wyke, Gooch, McGeady.

    Away games are less stressful than homes this season, hopefully enough in the tank to take the points. Won't be easy, they've had a great season so far considering they just came up. Deffo a one where the opposition will lift their game, we will be right amongst it if it's a win tomorrow.

    What an excellent thread.
    Nice to actually look forward to games at the minute too, particularly with them coming so quickly!

    I’ve, taken a draw as I usually get it wrong in anyway but this match will be more difficult than fleetwood match and although I would love it with the 3 points I can see Crewe being very dangerous

    A tougher game than we realise this. Crewe are unbeaten in their last 9 games at home

    2-2 for me

    Not an easy game, tidy side who actually play more football than most in the league.

    That said it just feels like we are in a crest of a wave, and that the hype amongst us fans is getting back to the players and helping with their growing belief.

    I’d back us against anyone at the minute and that’s very refreshing.

    A well earned 2-0.

    They concede more than us, score less than us, have poorer form than us and although it was only 1-0 (via an own goal) at the SoL we comfortably beat them in reality. I remember it being one of our best performances this season especially the first half. So add that all up and I've guessed a draw (I put draw for the last three league games so I'm not changing my prediction just quite)

    Crewe are a decent young team who like to play football and I suspect will have a fair bit of possession.
    Just looking at the stats they haven't lost at home since November (haven't won loads mind)
    Saying that if we play like we have been we should have enough to come away with a win.
    433 for me and press them high (they like to pass it around at the back)
    Need bodies in midfield for this one.
    If we are serious about automatic promotion this is the kind of game we need to be winning
    My head says a hard fought 2-1 win.
    However if we can score early and get at them could be a good day so I'm going 4-0 win

    Great thread again RTB, these games are keeping me sane at the moment as covid restrictions are beginning to get me down a tad and this twice weekly thread is the one I look forward to, so thanks RTB and all regular contributors.

    Got to keep the winning run going now and I'm confident we will so I'm going for a 2 goal winning margin, 0-2 or 1-3.

    Ha'Way The Lads keep the pressure on the teams above and around us.

    If we are on our game we will win. Crewe have improved and I like their managers crack, he’s different but I’m going for 1-2.
    Never been to Crewe.

    Cracking thread.

    As has been said Crewe will be a test, but we are finding ways to impose our game on teams now, which is good to see. I think we will pinch the points in an open game.

    I think that this one could be very tight - I think we'll nick it 1-0 Chas header

    I think we'll see an unchanged team provided no one has picked up a knock.

    Expecting a tight game. Their form is patchy so it might come down to what mood they're in
