If 19 games unbeaten or a sturdy resilience in the face of an imposing Southend side when it really mattered was not enough, the trip to Essex and Roots Hall on Wednesday night offered the final call in what has become this Crewe side’s coming of age. The lead was a precarious one, handed to Crewe [...]

After the frenetic sequence of events that was the final half hour of the trip to Torquay, ending with the delirium that was Nick Powell’s last minute equaliser in front of the 600 fans that had made the achingly long trip down to Devon, Crewe Alexandra only needed a point from the last game of the season [...]

There was a notable absentee from the Crewe Alexandra side that took to the field for the crunch match against play-off rivals Cheltenham on Saturday afternoon. News filtered through around 45 minutes before kick-off of Nick Powell’s tonsillitis giving him the day off, hearts dropped at the thought of negotiating such a difficult match without the [...]

So, this is it then, with three games left this is the League Two equivalent of what Sir Alex Ferguson so elegantly refers to in the distant chasm of the Premier League as “squeaky-bum time” and for those chasing the play-offs, it almost definitely is. With Swindon Town having all but secured promotion to League One [...]

It’s almost like we are waiting for the inevitable, this 12 game unbeaten run to stop or this remarkable run of form that has yielded just four defeats from 25 games since Steve Davis took charge in November, to finally cease and for the play-off dream to die. Yet, it shows no sign of coming to [...]

Optimism was rife at Gresty Road on Saturday, after Cheltenham had been thrashed 18 hours before in Southend, here was the prime chance, verses. 18 th placed Northampton, to cut the gap on the play-offs to just a solitary point. News was filtering through from Oxford too that they were being beaten at home to Morecambe, as [...]

It certainly wasn’t easy at Hereford on Saturday, games at this stage of the season rarely are. With Crewe hanging onto the feint dream of the League Two play-offs and Hereford fighting for their league lives as they teeter on the edge of relegation, the game at Edgar Street was shrouded in tension. It was a [...]

It certainly wasn’t pretty, the win over Bradford coming just three days after the proud victory over runaway league leaders Swindon Town, but behind all the tension and the nerves shredded by the mild night under the floodlights at Gresty Road, it was 3 points. Crewe needed nothing else but Steve Davis’ eleventh win from his [...]

I wanted to write, in the main, about Nick Powell. I wanted to exhume from the keyboard a fitting tribute to the 17 year old attacker’s virtuoso performance that earned him a glowing write-up in the Independent Newspaper and one that was indicative of the exciting talent that secured the League Two Apprentice of the year [...]
