Stanley over complicating things, trying fancy flicks, and hospital passes to a colleague three yards away. Rodgers up against good winger and showing his lack of game time. Crewe settled after first ten minutes and were better team first half.

There's quite a few tonight having mares all the midfield last few games upfront we have looked lackluster apart from Smyth,s pace how we are missing that tonight, Coley needs to act quickly with this one and either talk em round or change things early.

Uwakawe down the left up against Daniels would be better than Phillips.

Crewe much better first half and deserve the lead. They've won the midfield battle with 4 against 5.......McConville poor and coasted throughout the first half needs to be subbed. Phillips only one killer pass to McConville (good-run) not in it. No supply for Dion or Colby.....what's happened to Rogers and his crosses!. Need fresh legs in the midfield second half...maybe Uwakwe and Russell....for McC and Phillips........But you know what I'd also sub Rogers for McGuire and change most of the midfield.........then we know Coley....he will just give them a good talking too........ I guess that's why I'm sat at home and he's the manager........so frustrating when we play below par. What we lacked first half was INTENSITY......HIGH OCTANE....QUICK PASSING....without it we are just relegation fodder.......

Long John Silver would be better than him tonight

You are right....I used to think Uwakwe couldn't defend.....but now I realise that Phillips doesn't even know the word....defend...

Bit harsh, hardly relegation fodder - ok, it's not going to plan tonight but currently even at 1 nil down & a man short we're still somehow in 7th place

Burgess sloppy pass. Harvey covering Notts’s man trying to play the offside trap.
That’s the problem when playing a 4-3-1-2, the overlapping full back causes all sorts of trouble.

Bishop easier to score Baxter fantastic save

[Crown Grounder]

Are we really playing 2-5-2?
