Standing Alone 1877

If there was a moment when the Alex's season died in 24-25, it was against Fleetwood on a cold Tuesday night last March. They were already losing and being badly outplayed, but it was Shilow Tracey's horrific leg injury which in truth killed their season. They won just 1 of their remaining 11 games after that night and whilst this seasons team have been able to recover somewhat, Tracey remains sidelined as he works his way from that sickening incident. In this game though the

The Alex's win today was a copy and paste from their win over Colchester I'd say. A scrappy game with both teams a bit scared to make a mistake and the game sitting level after an hour. Then the Alex make some subs and one of those subs comes up with a game winning moment to snatch the 3 points. 3 points that take the Alex into the top 7 for the first time since early October when they beat Harrogate. Is something happening? It might well be. Here is my review of their home v

If you are looking for well backed teams who've underperformed compared to expectations over the last 2-3 seasons, Gillingham would be right at the top of the list. Every year under owner Brad Gallison, they seem to throw heaps of money at trying to get out of League Two. And they are no further forward now than they have been at any stage of the last few seasons. Still, they are a dangerous team who could easily come to the Alex and come away with some points. Here is my pre

What a filthy game that was. I wasn't there, but fair play to the hardy Alex fans who did make the long trip down. It wasn't a pretty game and the conditions played a part in what was a poor spectacle. But who cares when the Alex are coming home with 3 points to cap off a superb last 2 weeks where they've banked 8 from a possible 12, gone 4 unbeaten, 3 of them against teams either around them or well above them and from 3 long away games. This is my review of their win at Cra

When Crewe Alex and Crawley Town headed to Wembley at the end of the 23-24 season for the L2 play-off final, both sides must have felt confident that better days were ahead, regardless of which team won and got promoted and which team didn't and remained in L2. Well, little did we know that that game would be the high water mark for both teams in recent years. Crawley saw their squad decimated, their manager poached and they managed just 1 season in L1 before coming back down

Stop me if you've heard this one before. The Alex travel to London to play a smaller L2 rival. They start slowly, fall behind thanks to poor defending, but battle back to earn an excellent point. Yep, it was the same end result as Bromley, although thankfully not as dramatic. The Alex took their points total for the last 8 days to 5 and stretched their mini-unbeaten run to 3 after scrapping from behind to take a point from Hive. Here is my review of their draw at Barnet: Slow
