Official Crewe Alex Match Day Thread

[OOH! SHAUN TAYLOR]

According to the BBC website we've got a game today   I always think that how early or late a match day thread is started is a pretty good gauge as to how people are feeling in general about the Club at an given point in time. 10 to 11 on a Saturday morning - I think we can draw our own conclusions from that.

So far this season my MDT starting has brought two wins and a postponement, so let's hope the run continues (without the postponement)

I will say...

2-0 Mullin, Woolery

[Wobbly Bob]

Pre match Staffies and tracky bottoms in The Gaffers Row.

This is it then. The big one. "El Locomotivo".

GJR / LNWR v GWR
20,000 workers v 14,000 workers
Joseph Locke v Daniel Gooch
12 platforms v 4 platforms
The "Lizzies" v The King George V

Bragging rights at the far ends of station platforms all over the country at stake today.

No defending set piece fuck ups today and we stand a chance.

The Strop Hoof satellite was launched here by Jack Stephens in early 2015.
Sadly it's decaying orbit since then has been reflected in the progress of the club.

Merry Christmas.

As usual, WB's pre-match post will almost certainly be the most entertaining/enjoyable part of match day.

Will go a long way to deciding which club ends up in the Barry Island of football.

I can't listen on the radio from where I live. Julie won't let me listen anymore. I don't have the time to sit down and watch a whole game and my role as PDC and subsequent manager translator/summariser has faded into a dim and distant memory. There's very little info on the club in the free media.

Is the game at home? Potential loss
Is the game away? Potential draw or win.

Remember it well fella, used to wait for your summary rather than try to understand his rant.  Happy days!

Wonder what the equivalent for El Loco Swindon fans who have reached the end of the road is.

Guiseley away on a Tuesday night maybe.

Hope this thread is a bit more upbeat come 5 o'clock.

2-1 defeat. Couldn't find the energy/desire to head upto Crewe today which is a shame.

13:10 and still on page 1, says it all really!

[Peter Venkman]

1 win in our last 7 visits there.

They are on a run of 1 win in a row at home

With all our injuries and poor form lately I can't see past a defeat I am afraid.

Vigs, purkiss, taylor, lancashire, preston, lingazi, dunne, mullin, anderson, woolery, norris

Strong team

Good to see Taylor back at LB and Iandolo on the bench, no matter how hard he works hes not a left back.

Just wish we had a little more attacking & creative options in midfield than Dunne and Linganzi.

[Peter Venkman]

Interesting to see Ng playing fro Crewe....thats the noise I make when I stub my toe!

3-1 Swindon

[Peter Venkman]

Fucking drum.

There seems to be massive holes in our defence down the right side which they are exploiting at every opportunity.
