Just back. Don't know whether that was 2 dropped or 1 gained really. We were the better side as shown by the possession stats, the shot count, and the amount of defending Crewe had to do. They weren't hoofball merchants by any stretch but their attacks were limited to counters and set pieces into the box.
I suppose a short summary would be that Wes did what he had to, the defence were fairly solid throughout bar one or two moments, and we had plenty of the ball around and inside the Crewe box, yet didn't test the keeper often enough. Stephens was a prat for getting sent off like that, and whilst Cooper has bemoaned the refs approach, when both teams keep cynically halting the play there are going to be yellow cards.

Just got back as well.
After the game a point gained. Amazing when we went down to 10 we were still pushing to win the game. Gruf made a difference and Smith maybe should have been taken off earlier.
That drive was agony with a prolapsed disc in my back. The things you do following your club.
Reckon an operation may loom and then will be a case of can I still go to football.
