Crewe vs Doncaster

[Crewelad87]

It's wet and miserable and can see a miserable result for us today.

Crewe 1-3 Doncaster (Dagnall, Williams 2, Coppinger) 4,012 (608 Donny)

I don't think Doncaster are as strong as some of our fans have made out in the last week or so. I see this as quite a winnable fixture if we play as well as we have done in parts this season. Only worry are the very good forwards Doncaster have for this division in Andy Williams and John Marquis.

Test the opposition with a lot of shots on target today and we could very well win this. That'll be the difference between the two sides today.

Poor defending yet again but other than that in top for most of the first half without any end result.

Sounds like we were 2nd best for a lot of that. But we have a much greater threat going forward this season so always stand half a chance, Dagnall sounded like he worked his socks off upfront and was unlucky not to get a goal. Hoping we can back that win up next week with a very winable game at home to Exeter.

Excellent result. After last weeks drab showing at Cheltenham, I was worrying that the Crewe of old were starting to resurface. But fair play, back to back wins is fantastic, especially with Jones bagging the winner late on.

Channel 5 were indicating it could be Dagnalls goal, it certainly took a nick of him but would be harsh to take it off Jones.

We aren't in Ice Hockey where the last touch makes it that person's goal. Dagnall never claimed it on the highlights, so just leave it as Jones' goal.

Looking back, it seems like both Harry and Steve got out of jail yesterday. Harry defends like an absolute clown to give away a penalty and Steve made 2 defensive subs shortly before we conceded. Both can thank the other players in the team for bailing them out. Also, what a save by Ben Garratt from Matty Blair. Blair was peeling away in celebration before Ben clawed his header away. Superb reactions.
