Had a feeling as soon as the cup draw was made that Crewe would prove to be, yet again, our bogey team.
However, the stats from the game paint a depressing picture of an out-of-form team struggling to compete against lower league opponents currently enjoying momentum.
League 2 Crewe enjoyed 53% possession - away from home!
They had 12 shots on goal - 6 on target.
We had 11 - with a pathetic 1 on target.
Most worrying of all, we conceded 15 fouls, including 2 yellow & 1 red card.
Perhaps the unwelcome title as the dirtiest team in football is becoming a self-fulfilling prophecy.
I've enjoyed so many moments over the past few years, in both cup & league, when I've been proud to be a Stanley fan.
Today was not one of them.
