[Welsh_Saddler]

Thanks Belge and Welsh, looks like a nervy few mins then.

I don't personally like the idea of Taundz at left-back.....

Pathetic

[Whitti Steve]

Someone skinned Taundry crossed and some Crewe nobber turned it in

Almost as good as Alan Parry :mrgreen:

[Neuromantic]

Dean Smith's fault. Rubbish rubbish rubbish.

[Tennessee Saddler]

Shaking head in disbelief.

[belgiansaddler]

Sooooooooooooooooooo predictable :(

Goal was coming for the last half hour

Another 2 goal lead chucked away.

All over 2-2

[belgiansaddler]

Dean Smith's fault. Rubbish rubbish rubbish.

Shut up you predictable tool :D

On the bright side we have stopped the rot :D

[1933]

Third time this season a game has finished 2-2 after we've been leading 2-0, not too impressive is it.

[IHTC.]

Smith and his amazing substitutions cost us yet again, when will he ever learn? having said that we were woeful in the 2nd half

[latviancheese]

Ill put a bet on now this is the longest match thread of the season.

Mate honestly, you would be saying the same if you were here.

Rarely I am Lost for words - but those substitutions and tactic change were beyond reality.

Crazy.

[Chomper]

So frustrating. How many times are we going to let leads slip in the final seconds. Arrrrrrrr
I'm thinking a striker would help and maybe bringing Purkiss back in. A littlr surprised we didn't go back in for Matty Derbyshire -scored again today and surely in our price range.
Still, a point gained and no doubt another good performance.

[SaigonSaddler]

Got back in to see Crewe score for 2-1 and something predictable about the last minute flumping.

ARRRRRRR! :evil:

[latviancheese]

A littlr surprised we didn't go back in for Matty Derbyshire -scored again today and surely in our price range.

Really? I bet he is miles out of it.

[Fray Bentos is God!]

The only excuse Smith has got is if Featherstone is injured.

[philthesaddler]

Saarland is right, taking featherstone off and going 4 in midfield lost us 2 points.

Additionally, our fitness is not good enough, for the last 25 minutes they were blowing out of their backsides.

All this pretty passing football is well and good but we're not clinical, we lack a presence upfront and we're easy to work out - all you have to do is squeeze up on cuvelier, Paterson and baxendale and our passing game falls to bits.

No, apart from the 1st 25mins when it looked like a cricket score we were awful

[Tracker34]

Absolute joke, what was with the substitutions? I can't wait to hear those explained. Even if Featherstone was injured (which it didn't look like) there surely must have been a better option to put on in midfield? Why change the formation when we are leading? To a formation without a defensive midfielder for another striker?

Then why take Taylor off? If he was injured then that one is excusable but if not it beggars belief.

[Worsul]

Unbelievably frustrating.

For the last couple of weeks we hear about how we need to keep faith with our passing game. We go 2-0 up, then appear to abandon it!

Substitutions were bizarre, I'm inclined to think there must be non-tactical reasons for them (e.g injuries).

Credit to Crewe. They probably should have had a penalty anyway.

[Worsul]

Also, felt sorry for the angriest man in England who was in the Tile Choice Upper. The whole game he was shouting expletives (even when we were winning).

When Crewe equalised I thought he would spontaneously combust.

[Wyrley_saddler]

When is J.Chambers back?
