Standing Alone 1877

I'm really not sure what to say about that game. Had I wrote the summary it at half time, it would have been scathing. It would have had a similar feel to it had the game ended on 93 minutes. But it didn't. It ended on 98, 5 minutes after the Alex scored their 2nd equaliser of the game to salvage what at half time looked like the most unlikeliest of points. Here is my review of the Alex's last gasp draw at Bromley: Context Maybe a point at a very average looking(on the night)

If there has been a bigger surprise than Bromley in recent L2 memory, I'd like to see them. Maybe Crawley in 23-24 I suppose. But to see the Ravens top the table with a healthy lead after 27 games is incredible. Especially given I was deeply unimpressed with them last season as the Alex smashed 6 past them in 2 games. I wasn't even wowed when they came away with a 1-0 win at Gresty Road in October. But boy do we have to sit up and take notice of them now. Here is my preview o

Sigh. I'm not even sure what to say at this point. Another defeat on the road. Outclassed by another top 7 opponent. More of the same issues tactically and with the lack of depth. Well, I do know what to say. I think it's time to have some honest conversations. About certain individuals. About the squad as a whole. And about the club as a whole. So, let's delve into those in my review of the defeat at Notts County: Struggling I love Mickey Demetriou for what he's done for the

I mentioned it in the now obsolete Barnet preview, but I hope you aren't too attached to 3pm kick offs and really enjoy lunch time and evening starts. Because the Alex are going to have plenty of them in the coming weeks. Just 2 of their next 8 games will kick off at 3pm and they are both at home. Their next 6 away games, will kick off at either 12:30(x3) or 7:45(x2). You'll have to wait until March against Bristol Rovers for their next Saturday 3pm away game. Whilst all thes

And so the tradition goes on of Crewe Alex and Barrow exchanging 3 points. In 3 of the last 4 seasons including this one, the home side in this fixture have emerged victorious. In addition, for the 3rd time in 4 home games against the Cumbrian side, the Alex have scored 3 times to take the win. This is my review of what turned out to be a fairly comfortable afternoon: Big Margin I've not often seen a team that finds it easier to win games by more than 1 goal. Of the Alex's 14

What do you call a side that struggles to beat strugglers? Because that would be a fitting description for Crewe Alex right now. Well, I'm honestly thankful that this game is the last home fixture they have against a genuine, bona fide struggler. I'm pleased that in the coming weeks they have teams like Colchester, Gillingham and Fleetwood coming to town, because we 'might' see some better results. I stress the word 'might' though. Anyway, here is my preview of the visit of B
