Completely on Bell today that was. Up until he changed formation needlessly it was a pretty perfect away performance. Just made no sense to go to 4 at the back and to play our best left back in midfield when we've got adequate midfielders on the bench. Just hope he learns from that one today...
Very frustrating with such a big home crowd in tonight. But credit Colchester, can see why they don't conceded many, very organised team that will take points of plenty of teams this season. Game probably had 0-0 written all over it before a ball was kicked to be fair. Positives are that were...
700 more tickets left before its a home sell out tonight, and with moving the away fans into the smallest stand, it will be our largest amount of home fans in the stadium in modern times. Should be a crowd of over 9000.
Kind of makes sense you moved your game after we moved ours, all 4 teams have the same amount of rest then, as boxing day we all play each other again with us playing you and Colchester vs Gillingham.
We did it last year, with lower ticket prices and got a big crowd in vs Barrow, over 7 k home fans, so done it again this year and looking like could be getting close to a home sell out, possibly around 9 k home fans, sold over 8k so far.
Tickets look like they are selling well and fast for our game on Friday night. Got a chance at our biggest ever home crowd in the modern all seater stadium era, 8,433 is the record for home fans only vs Everton in 2002, I think we might come close with the way tickets are selling.
Colchester on Friday night, it looks like a big home crowd, GRE close to being sold out and the main stand and pop side also starting to fill up. Was over 7000 home fans last year so I'd expect atleast the same again this year.
Colchester form seems to have picked up recently, and are not...
Another very well controlled and clinical performance by us today. We look so solid defensively, probably the best defensive Crewe team I've ever seen. Then when you add the quality of Lankester going forward, it's a great mix. He's far too food for league 2, great bit of business for us to get...
Wrexham away for us, fully expect us to make changes and kind of hope we go out. I'd guess Wrexham will take it fairly seriously, I can see them being quite big on a trip to Wembley.
I'd go

We're fast becoming the West Brom of league 2 with all the draws we're getting. 10 games unbeaten in the league but far too many draws recently.
Grimsby away this week, not at all confident about this one. Last season Grimsby was the poorest we probably played over 2 games, with them beating...
I think alot of the lower league clubs have been done outbof it due to not being at home. If Bromley or Morecambe were at home they would have been shoe ins, probably the same for Harrogate and a few of the league 1 and championship teams aswell. Hate the all Premier league games on tv in the...

We thought the same last year regarding White. Surprised they loaned him back out to a league 2 team to be honest, could easily play high end league 1 if not championship.
MK starting to look like the team everyone feared they might be this season. Anyone that finishes above them this season certainly gets promoted and probably wins the league.
Out of interest how are Luke Offord and Joe White getting on MK fans? I'm certain had Offord not got injured and White...
