Standing Alone 1877

Crewe Alex meeting Tranmere Rovers will always be a funny fixture given both sides utter inability to win at the other teams ground. It's incredible that the Alex's last league win at Prenton Park was in the 1999-2000 season and Tranmere's last league win at Gresty Road was in October of that same season. Will that trend continue or could the Alex maybe actually turn up in this fixture and win. Wouldn't that be a nice change? Here is my preview of their visit to the Wirral: A

It's ironic isn't it that the Alex played a team who play only a few miles from the sea tonight and they honoured them by coasting through this game. And in the end, they got a draw which honestly feels like a loss. This is my review of their point at home to Newport: 1st Gear The Alex came out fired up and looked comfortably the better team. They created a few chances and got ahead after only 11 minutes thanks to Tezgel's 6th league goal of the season. But as time went on, t

The fixture computer has thrown up some funny scheduling hasn't it? This being only the Alex's 2nd midweek(not counting Monday or Friday's) night league game of the season and their first at home as well. I mean, why on earth did they put it now and not a warmer month like September or October? No, the middle of December, nice one lads. You can tell this wasn't organised by anyone who actually plans to watch any of these games in a stadium. Anyway, here is my preview of the v

Hmm. The Alex started November 1 point off the play-offs. They are now 2 points off the play-offs and won just 1 league game in the month. Was it a bad month? Or a mixed one? Do you take the positives or the negatives. I'm very conflicted. This is my monthly review of November for the Alex: Looking Back November started with an FA Cup game against Doncaster Rovers at home. Unfortunately, despite getting a late first half lead through a Mickey Demetriou long range stunner, the

I'm typing this as the full time whistle has just gone, so I might look back on this on Sunday with a bit more rational a thought process. But at this moment, I'm seething with how the Alex have conspired to have lost that game. Absolutely seething. Seething at the individuals on the pitch and seething at the individuals involved off the pitch. To not be coming back with 3 points is frustrating. To not even be coming back with anything is ridiculous. Here is my review of thei

Would it shock you to know that of all L2 teams, Tranmere's Prenton Park isn't the stadium where the Alex are currently enduring their longest winless run at? No, that honour goes to Cambridge United's Abbey Stadium. The Alex have not tasted victory there since February 1995. Props to anyone who even remembers that game. I couldn't even find the scorers from that day, so long ago was it. Now, to be fair, there was a 21 year gap between visits, as following that 1995 win they
