It really has been a tough set of fixtures in October. I really enjoyed the game when Forest Green Rovers visited Crewe in April, very decent footballing side so should make a good game. Sadly, I can only see FGR taking the 3 points here but happy to be proven wrong.

We'll see if it's still a 'one way street' when Vale take the obligatory 1-0 win in two weeks. I understand Sjoke are your derby, but Port Vale/Crewe are your rivalry and it's the first games both set of fans look at when the fixtures are released.

I think it was a combination of Artell still being naive with some of his decision making and a couple of poor signings which led to frustration. Some weeks we were winning 6-0, the next we would loose 0-6. The switch of formation to 4-3-3 really helped us turn a corner and the whole team have...

Really looking forward to this one... Read a few times that Swindon have been playing really good football this season so should make a very entertaining, attacking game. Having said that, it'll probably finish 0-1 now haha! It's another tricky game as we continue playing through what has been...

Sadly, I think Raynes is finished. He joined Crewe on a two-year contract and first couple of months we thought he was exactly what we were missing with his leadership and experience. However, it quickly became apparent that he has absolutely no pace, made a few mistakes and never recovered...

Probably a combination of the two, but with Exeter pressing so high up the pitch and Hunt struggling at full-back, I will be glad to see NG back in the side. So much forward play starts from him. Got a feeling Artell will favour Lancashire over Hunt, but the Nolan/Hunt partnership is the...

You can still be somewhat competitive in this division on the lowest gates. As much as Morecambe haven't quite progressed in the years they have been in the league, they always assemble a good enough squad to stay in the league, with the odd player going on to play at a higher level. Crawley...

Can only really echo what's been said in this thread to be honest. Exeter look a very decent side and will certainly be in the mix for automatic promotion. Play the ball round really well and should have been out of sight before half time. You're #11 on the wing looks a very decent player. The...

Really looking forward to this one... I think with the run of Cheltenham, Exeter, Mansfield, Carlisle and then Swindon in the next 5 games will really give us a good insight into Crewe and if we really are a genuine top 3 side this season. After Salford, the team picks itself to be honest so...

Credit to Salford, they set up well and got everything spot on in the first half. They isolated both Kirk/Dale out of the game and I'm struggling to remember if Crewe created anything in the first half. Considering I've never seen a fan on here, Salford brought 500 away following which isn't...

I thought Nolan & Hunt always looked a steady partnership when they played together last season and dropping Lancashire was justified after Saturday. It's weird because Nolan has always been consistent but has looked very shakey at times this season but has already popped up with a couple of...

I'd like to see Nicky Hunt recalled, replacing Lancashire. On Green, I completely agree with moving Pickering into midfield. I would like to see either Porter or Powell dropped for Dale, maybe give Powell a chance in the middle of the front three? Score Draw - 1-1

Didn't go to the game but have watched the highlights... The red card could have very easily gone either way. It was a 50/50 ball and 5 years ago, it would have been harsh to book Green but can't really have to many complaints about the sending off... it couldn't have been that malicious if the...

Think the team kind of picks itself after the combination of the second half against Bradford last week and with what happened with Burton in the cup mid-week. Amazingly saw that Crewe haven't drawn a game since March as a nice little stat. Predicting a score draw of 1-1 with Charlie Kirk scoring.

I think he'll likely join Plymouth. I've seen the Posh chairman say they've accepted a loan offer but didn't Ryan Lowe previously pay Cooper out of his own pocket everytime he assisted any of Lowe's goals? Obviously knows about his ability. Personally, we need another forward option, but it...

Two things I have taken from the game. Wintle missing from midfield is a massive blow and completely remove the balance to allow Lowery to get forward. I know Lancashire/Hunt were both missing but I would have been more tempted to play NG there and move somebody in at RB. Still need another CB...

See, I've never been that impressed with FBT but that away kit is a thing of beauty. Can't remember the last time we had a decent away kit. Guess it's always personal opinion but I've always rated BLK for designing kits.

Didn't realise Luke Hannant originally graduated from the Cambridge academy.

Few little snippets I've heard about Crewe... Were in the race to sign Harry Smith but Northampton conducted their business very efficiently. Have identified a few CB targets. Heard Ash Taylor and Mathieu Baudry who have both been released from Northampton and MK Dons. Think the John Guthrie...

I thought your gold away kit this season was very nice. As a matter of fact, I find most kits made by BLK were decent over the last couple of years... Only one I didn't like was Port Vale's.
