Very, very disappointing performance. As others have said, no pace, no width. I think we've become a little too predictable with playing the same formation week in week out and sides have latched on to this.
I also think that we don't seem to have a plan b when we hit a brick wall and are struggling to break sides down. The ball spent way too much time in the centre of the park, played around in front of the Crewe defence, which suited them just fine. I can't remember too many occasions where we got in behind their fullbacks and got into positions where we could cross the ball.
We were never first to the majority of the second ball situations, with it nearly always being a Crewe player winning the second ball, we gave away possesion way too cheaply on many occasions, with two of them resulting in Crewe scoring.
If Coley has had them locked away for 90 minutes after the game today, for my money they deserved it. If we'd played while midnight we probably wouldnt have scored.
