Re: Slighty late Crewe match thread............
I think Crewe defended really well today, all 11 players, they closed us down every time we had the ball and gave us absolutely no space. Maybe this is why we looked and played like a bunch of amateurs. We created enough chances in the first half to win this, and the next 3 games, but bad judgement and bad luck thwarted us.
Luke Joyce had a nightmare of a game today, maybe it was because of the tactics, or just one of them days, non of our other players did themselves justice either.
Two of our players set up the moves that led to the 2 goals, and that was the only attacking football Crewe played. We played most of the second half with only two defenders for gods sake, Long and Hessey did very well when Crewe could be bothered to trouble them. Winnard and McIntyre played as out and out wingers in the second half, and still there were no shots on target from the front 5. I don't know how Andy Procter managed to get Man of the Match, perhaps his parents were the sponsors.
Apart from setting up the goal, Murphy had a good first half and had a good shot palmed onto the post by their keeper.
Never mind, I'm still looking forward to Oxford next week.
