Match Day Thread Crewe Alexandra v Sunderland - Saturday 27th February - KO 15:00

Aye you are right mate it is totally impossible to make up 6 points with only 16 games to go and 48 points to play for.

 

Need to start playing him from the off instead of obrien

 

Think we were first to all 3. Just either couldn’t get enough or hit too much on them all sadly

 

Canny comeback to pluck a point there.
So what happened first half, ****e all over, wrong set-up or just too many leggy players snd out of form? Or Crewe very good?

Second place still within grasp with those results.

 

Needs to make a few changes for Tuesday night to freshen the team up. Vokins in for McShit, Jones in to the starting line up and give McGeady a rest and maybe bring in Diamond as well. Needs to move the Onion away from centre back or stick with 3 at the back.

 

Jones and Maguire changed the game completely for us. As I got slated for earlier and I stick by it, Jones should be starting games.

 

We basically weren't at the races. Crewe were first to everything, there was no fight for the ball. Crewe came at us and I think it totally shocked us. After playing so well in the last few games and confidence is up, I wouldn't be surprised that the players went into the game thinking it was won and maybe had 1 eye on the pizza cup final. So in my opinion, it was too much confidence! I saw in the last game that they were doing all the little flicks without looking and they weren't coming off - they got a hell of shock today and got away with it.

 

EFL1 as it stands...

 

The thought of having McFadzean and Vokins as our only LB option is a pretty scarey one. We need to hope Hume regains fitness asap.

 

Crewe looked full of energy and we looked leggy. This may turn out to be one hell of a point. Fantastic effort to come back and credit to Johnson for his subs. We are definitely on to something with him in charge

 

That could be a massive point come seasons end, you'll not see two better strikes anywhere this season.

 

@Smug in Boots - I take it all back and doff my cap to you I am quite optimistic but didn't see that coming)

As a real point I would love to see us pass the ball like Crewe do at times

 

You may be right mate.

Just pleased we took a battering, got back up and threw a few punches.

I've done that a few times mesel tbh.

 

I dont think you were slated just differing opinions. Jones is undoubtedly a talent but Maguire only good when he chooses to be.

 

Wouldnt blame either to be honest. I think games like these LJ often leaves us a bit light in midfield
and relies on players to drop in and cover.. First half Gouch tried but was poor McGeady was absolutely non existant.
Obrien at least tried to cover but we were outnumbered. Power was OK but Scowen works hard but is hopeless on the ball

 

I think we will gain confidence from that.
Poor performance but battled back and won a point.
A good wake up call hopefully and we concentrate and kick on again.

Its funny, me dad said youll probably blame me for the score.
He went home and we scored 2

Anyways. Am gerrin pìssed now and HA'WAY THE WALES in the rugby
Yer sasanach fookers

 

oh aye
