Title: Crewe Alexandra v Swindon Town Official Matchday Thread Post by: Shaw Rosso on Saturday, March 1, 2014, 00:00:04 The Opponent: Crewe Alexandra
Another football day has arrived for us fans/supporters/followers to look forward too. Although the Crawley game was nothing special I still enjoyed being there every single minute, I admit there were times on Tuesday night where I could have happily been in 101 different places, but had I been in any of those places then I would have only been gutted that I wasn’t at the football. The heckling of our own goalkeeper was a rather poor show it must be said, fingers crossed today’s limited away following is a bit kinder to the lad. Seeing as I only got home from work a short while ago (10.50pm), I will keep it brief, and look forward to the inevitable meltdown should things not go our way. I’m in Cheltenham between 2-4 in the afternoon, I’m seriously hoping the trusty Transit Radio finds BBC Wiltshire. Weather or not? – It seems the people of Crewe have had their own weather related issues after 500 passengers had to be evacuated from Crewe station after a fire was sparked by felt from the roof, blown loose by strong winds, falling onto overhead cables. Things should be rather less wild today with a decent amount of sunshine, light cloud as the afternoon goes on, temperatures around 7 degrees with a very light breeze. Where the opposition gather – Makes you grateful for the TEF. http://boards.footymad.net/forum.php?tno=168&fid=90&sty=2&act=1&mid=2111478181 Last 6 – LWDLWL – Currently 20th They have served us both – Keith East, Tony Grant, Billy Bodin, Marlon Broomes, Paul Edwards, Fred Chandler, Gary Roberts, Gareth Whalley, Anthony McNamee, Jimmy Thompson, Tommy Weale, Alan Navarro, Maurice Lindley, Patrick Noubissie, Colin Prophett, Teddy Ware, Alex Downie. The Odds – Crewe 13/8 Draw 23/10 Swindon 6/4 Crewe may be in 20th position but our away form must be comparative. Smith and N’Guessan lead the way in the first goalscorer stakes, both around 11/2 or 6 to 1. I fancy an unlikely bet, Crewe HT Swindon FT, pays 20/1 with Ladbrokes but 33/1 with Stan James. The Son Says – Seeing as we thrashed them 5-0 at home he thinks it will be slightly tougher away and has plumped for us dishing out a 4-0 thrashing to our fellow railway town folk. The Prediction – Positively leading the way as ever, we will win 2-1. Goals from Smith and Belford in front of 4’229, 228 from Swindon. And Finally – Alexandra? Simply down to the name of a princess at that time in 1877.

Any others back from injury? Desperately miss Mason and Pritchard. 1-1 I think. Byrne.

Byrne (because he appears to be on a run of tapping balls into the goal from 1yrd) and Kasim.

However, but for a penalty miss we could be 1-0 down. Have to take our chances if we get them in the second half Title: Re: Crewe Alexandra v Swindon Town Official Matchday Thread Post by: THE FLASH on Saturday, March 1, 2014, 16:06:22 C'mon lads....smash n grab

Tough games indeed Would have taken a point at Crewe before KO so not entirely gutted Really have to take our chances when bossing the game, wont get too many second chances in the above 4 fixtures Title: Re: Crewe Alexandra v Swindon Town Official Matchday Thread Post by: 4D on Saturday, March 1, 2014, 17:06:04 Not the disaster that many will make it out to be on facebook/twitter.

Title: Re: Crewe Alexandra v Swindon Town Official Matchday Thread Post by: Reg Smeeton on Saturday, March 1, 2014, 17:11:46 Not the disaster that many will make it out to be on facebook/twitter. A decent point, which moves us closer to 52. Sheffield United now look like they could make the PO's, having been recently in the drop zone, which shows how quickly things can change if you either get on a roll or start to slide.

Title: Re: Post by: Batch on Saturday, March 1, 2014, 17:15:14 Yasser off on international duty tomorrow. Back Friday.
Title: Re: Crewe Alexandra v Swindon Town Official Matchday Thread Post by: cib on Saturday, March 1, 2014, 17:34:57 Would've taken a point before the game, but certainly deserved and should've taken all 3. Can't fault the effort from the players, mentions for Troy(for keeping their front two quiet), Thompson's and Harley did some running and scored a good goal. Luongo hands down best player on the park.
Frustrating but not the end of the world. Also a top effort from the fans, was a good atmosphere throughout and no real negative comments even late on. Title: Re: Crewe Alexandra v Swindon Town Official Matchday Thread Post by: Bob's Orange on Saturday, March 1, 2014, 18:26:49 Sounded like we played quite well. Fair play to Harley for putting in what sounds like 2 half decent performances after orient.
Not too unhappy, but Walsall and posh both lost so we could have closed the gap for that last play off spot, well we did but could have been bigger. Let's hope we can get 3 points against Franchise on Saturday. Title: Re: Crewe Alexandra v Swindon Town Official Matchday Thread Post by: joteddyred on Saturday, March 1, 2014, 18:32:04 At least it sounded like we put in a decent effort today, which is all most people want.
We need to start taking the decent chances we get. Crewe should have been out of sight by the time we scored. Title: Re: Crewe Alexandra v Swindon Town Official Matchday Thread Post by: pauld on Saturday, March 1, 2014, 19:22:36 Predicted a loss. Got a draw. Not disappointed. I'd have taken a draw before kick-off but having listened to it on the radio (and therefore not entitled to any form of opinion, I know) am now a little disappointed as it sounded like we were the better team. But pleased we played well, especially away.Title: Re: Post by: Batch on Saturday, March 1, 2014, 19:34:11 Only heard the last 20 Paul. The tide had turned at that point.

Title: Re: Crewe Alexandra v Swindon Town Official Matchday Thread Post by: Reg Smeeton on Sunday, March 2, 2014, 11:46:21 We're 7th and hoping to get to 52 points, Sheffield United in 12th are going to get the play offs. A sound analysis. It's quite interesting to look at last season's and this season's table at the same point. So for example we were a dozen points better off, and eventually squeaked the final PO place, but perhaps of greater significance was that the top 7 were covered by a mere 4 points...whereas this season it's 23 points. This suggests the top teams are consistent and reliable....which seems to be the top 5, then 6th place is very much up for grabs, with a clutch of inconsistent teams. Posh are in the driving seat, but 4 wins since Boxing Day in 12 games is less than convincing. Blades are consistent atm, and are the sort of club, who could keep that going until May....how they react to the rigours of the cup will decide... We're 2 wins in 10, with some tough fixture on the horizon. Title: Re: Crewe Alexandra v Swindon Town Official Matchday Thread Post by: Peter Venkman on Sunday, March 2, 2014, 12:07:12 True but we are also 2 defeats in 10 games (excuding the penalties because the 90 mins ended 1-1) which shows we are tough to beat, but we need to turn those 6 draws into wins.
That said I think play offs are beyond us now but who knows, one good run of results and its wide open again. Title: Re: Crewe Alexandra v Swindon Town Official Matchday Thread Post by: Flashheart on Sunday, March 2, 2014, 12:12:37 Posh are capitulating and I think one of the chasing pack will take 6th from them. Whether or not that is us remains to be seen, although those around us aren't in great form either.
Title: Re: Crewe Alexandra v Swindon Town Official Matchday Thread Post by: Posh Red on Sunday, March 2, 2014, 12:13:03 I'm confused as Harley doesn't appear to be the scapegoat any more but we don't appear to have a new one. Who are we all supposed to blame as the nexus of all failure now? Hall will be fit again soon, and will come back into the team because we won't be able to afford to play Troy. We will then have our scapegoat back. ;) Title: Re: Crewe Alexandra v Swindon Town Official Matchday Thread Post by: Reg Smeeton on Sunday, March 2, 2014, 12:22:27 True but we are also 2 defeats in 10 games (excuding the penalties because the 90 mins ended 1-1) which shows we are tough to beat, but we need to turn those 6 draws into wins. That said I think play offs are beyond us now but who knows, one good run of results and its wide open again. I'm only doing league fixtures. 6th place is definitely up for grabs, Posh aren't much different to us, but do have the extra points, a couple of games in hand, and maybe might get some inspiration from the JPT...equally they're just as likely to fall apart. However, we just don't have the goal threat atm....early season, Ranger, Ajose, N,Guessan, was decent enough front line and we need to score to win as we'll more or less always concede. Title: Re: Crewe Alexandra v Swindon Town Official Matchday Thread Post by: Peter Venkman on Sunday, March 2, 2014, 12:45:55 In the last 13 league games we have won 3 drawn 6 and lost 4 scoring 13 and conceding 16.
I feel that the problem is not defensively so much as it is offensively, averaging 1 goal per game in 13 games is not good enough but conceding little over 1 per game isn't that bad. Over the same 13 game period Brentford have scored 24 and conceded 12, but they have won 8 of those games losing once. Peterborough over the last 13 league games have scored 21 and conceded 22, they have won 4, drawn 3 and lost 6 and they do indeed look like they will miss out on the play offs if that form continues. I was surprised to see that Sheff Utd have won their last 6 games in a row in the league, and in that time only conceded 1 goal, thats a good momentum for a team that were in the bottom 3 until a couple of weeks ago. Title: Re: Crewe Alexandra v Swindon Town Official Matchday Thread Post by: Flashheart on Sunday, March 2, 2014, 12:52:12 I was surprised to see that Sheff Utd have won their last 6 games in a row in the league, and in that time only conceded 1 goal, thats a good momentum for a team that were in the bottom 3 until a couple of weeks ago. There's often a team that makes it into the playoffs with a late surge and it looks as though that team this year could well be Sheff U. Unless, of course, another team in the pack gets their act together.

They were in a misleading league position before enlisting Clough as manager, As is our luck there league position has improved massively before we meet, Bradford too to a certain extent :crash: Title: Re: Crewe Alexandra v Swindon Town Official Matchday Thread Post by: Bob's Orange on Sunday, March 2, 2014, 14:04:29 Agree with some of the comments about our potency up front. I didn't go but with ajose or ranger up front yesterday we probably could have been 2 or 3 up at the break.
Smith missed a 1 on 1 yesterday and I'm not convinced he can play up front on his own. What the answer is, I don't know, give ranger a new leg? Give N'Guessan a go up front with smith? Title: Re: Crewe Alexandra v Swindon Town Official Matchday Thread Post by: REDBUCK on Sunday, March 2, 2014, 14:36:31 They played together against Crawley. Not much of a succedd
Title: Re: Crewe Alexandra v Swindon Town Official Matchday Thread Post by: Reg Smeeton on Sunday, March 2, 2014, 14:48:15 Agree with some of the comments about our potency up front.

What the answer is, I don't know, give ranger a new leg? When you've non scoring forwards, then you have to try and get goals from other areas of the pitch....Chelsea show how it can be done. In very tiny patches some of our boys have shown they can score a few..eg Luongo Kasim and Byrne, Harley chipped in yesterday, when Pritchard is back, he's shown he can score free kicks. The massive gap this season is from centre back....most centre backs should be worth 3 or 4 goals a season...ours have managed zip, as far as I can recall. Flint and Ward last season managed 4 in the league...not great but helpful. Mason when he's played has shown he's capable of scoring. Title: Re: Crewe Alexandra v Swindon Town Official Matchday Thread Post by: leefer on Sunday, March 2, 2014, 15:45:34 Agree with some of the comments about our potency up front.

What the answer is, I don't know, give ranger a new leg? Give N'Guessan a go up front with smith? There is only one answer...pay out on a decent striker or two......Smith and co are decent players but hardly prolific. Really miffed we let Storey go out on loan...great time for him now to get some games,get full fitness back and score some goals....most natural finisher we have here except Ranger in my opinion. Title: Re: Crewe Alexandra v Swindon Town Official Matchday Thread Post by: Empathy Sloth on Sunday, March 2, 2014, 15:47:25 We'll have Storey back soon, don't think he's the answer but it will be good to have more competition for places.
Title: Re: Post by: sonicyouth on Sunday, March 2, 2014, 15:57:58 Still not convinced that Storey is the goalscorer we need but will concede that giving him a chance right now would do us no harm. The loan has certainly transpired as pointless.

Sheff U have Posh at Bramall Lane in the week, win that and they're 3 points off us and a game in hand, and puts Posh very much within their reach.

There has been the odd side who've gone down with 52....like us in 81/82, Wimbledon joined us on 53. But it is unusual.....Coventry because of their deduction rather than looking at the Po's a couple of weeks back are now very much looking over their shoulder, and given their situation could very well go. Port Vale, are another who having been 2-0 up v us and looking to overtake, a couple of weeks ago, must now be starting to get a bit twitchy. Of course for the likes of us and Vale, who have a bit of a cushion means if you find a win somewhere or get a few draws it makes all the difference.
