I can only comment on the first 45 minutes - but what a huge contrast between the teams. Nicky Hunt, playing centre back for Crewe, was able to pass to an available and unmarked Crewe player on every occasion. By contrast we constantly played hoofball to our solitary striker.

And there is something else!

Throw-ins!!! I remember writing some 6 or 7 years ago about our total lack of guile at throw-ins. Nothing has changed. There is no movement whatsoever and the thrower tries to find our striker in the hope of a flick on.

On reflection, I am quite pleased that I could not stay for the second half which, by all accounts, was worse than the first.
