Crewe

[Kinky Gerbil]

Dark Horses for the play offs?

They won again yesterday and have a solid side thats creeping up the table week by week, with ashton banging in goals for fun could be an outside bet for promotion

 

[smudge]

Only if they hang on to Ashton. Can't believe Robbie Blake has gone to Brum but no hint of a move from a prem club for Ashton. He's quality.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

was shocked to see blake going for that much

 

[Zeitgeist]

IMO, Crewe looked one of the purest footballing teams we've played both home and away. Then again, you'd expect nothing different from one of Dario Gradi's teams. Good luck to them. It proves that success is still possible on limited resorces.

I thought Crewe was one of the best sides we have played this season both home and away. We couldn't do anything to stop them.

 

[Beach Hut]

Depends on Dean Ashton staying.

Great scorer

 

[itszamora]

I wasn't at the home game, but at the away one I felt we were generally as good as them, the main differences being that the officials were useless and they were clincal with their chances whereas we spurned most of what we had.

They were the best team that have visited Withdean this season. I wouldn't be surprised if they got automatic promotion. Good luck to them!

I'd go along with that.

 

[Simon Morgan]

They're pretty much admitting Ashton is going, but theyre hoping he won't go in the transfer window. Even if he does, they have got quality in Lunt, Rivers, Jones etc

 

[Bwian]

Crewe making the Premiershite would be fantastic. I don't like the fact that they tonked us twice this season but I hope they at least make the playoffs at the expense of one of the 'favoured' teams.

Dario should be an inspiration to all managers at clubs operating on limited resources

 

[JonC]

Trust me, we aren't going to go up. We're a good side at times but we concede far too many goals to get anywhere near the play-offs. Not one Crewe fan is even pretending they think we're going to get into the play offs.

As with every year we're still looking down (that's why it's nice to see Brighton, Forest et al losing) - but we're only 11 points from 50 and safety! Once (if) we get to 50 points only then will we think about anything else. Perhaps 60 points and a comfortable mid table position, but I think we're all realistic enough to know we're going to nearer the bottom than the top come the end of the year. We always go into freefall around now. Saying that the win at Leeds was perhaps, symbolically, the best ever result in the history of this club. Just goes to show how small time we are, and how well we are doing! Sir Dario anyone?

If you could start scoring goals then you'd be a decent side yourselves.

WHEN ashton goe's this month crewe will struggle i reckon!!

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

he wont go till end of season

[Turkey]

I felt the only difference between us and Crewe was Ashton. They can score goals and we can't!

 

[JonC]

Dario says Ashton won't go until the Summer. This is a good thing as it means he will go then (obviously) or his price will be boosted up by a couple of quid.

Presumably he has a few years on his contract left ?

End of next season which means he will go in the summer, whether it be a big Premiership club (Murphy, Savage, Lennon etc) or a similar sized club to ourselves (Hulse a couple of years back).

It's quite funny when you think about, that Robbie Savage started off (kind of) at Crewe! It means we can't help but love him.

Presuambly Savage moved to Crewe from MUFC as he was in the "famous" youth team - Nevilles, Scholes, Butt and Beckham
