Crikey, the morning of the match and still no thread! A few questions to be answered today. Can we beat Crewe at the 3rd attempt this season and will IE stick with Ronan to start and finally give Crellin a rest? If we have more of an attack today with at least Miller, Isgrove and Fonz, I think we can get a win so I’ll go for 2-1 to Wanderers. Some of the team do seem to be gelling now so hopefully we can play well for more than just short spells. More like Bradford first half today lads please. I’ve got my iFollow pass anyway so let’s hope it’s worth the tenner?

I really want us to win a cup tie sometime. Out in the first game of the League cup, out in the round of the EFL Trophy.
Last year – out in the first round of the FA cup and League Cup and so on. It would be nice to progress and get into the 3rd round draw.
I think the result might hinge on what side he picks.
I can’t see Delfouneso or Doyle playing and I have a feeling that Sarcevic may be rested so scoring goals may continue to be a problem.
Defensively, I presume that Crellin will be rested.
Crewe might also rest players so I am with you Whites – a 2-1 win

Do you think he will rest Sarcevic David, as we don’t play again until next Friday? I hope not and like you want us to win a cup tie for a change, it’s ages since we had a decent cup run and apart from the interest it generates, the right draw can be a revenue generator. I’d like him to play a strong team if only to keep up some momentum. I’m also not sure about Crellin being rested but I suppose it depends whether he thinks Gilks is ready yet because he seems to have written Alexander off completely for whatever reason. Crewe have lost their last 3 games so shouldn’t be full of confidence so it will be interesting to see what kind of a team they put out. I would think they’ll see this as one they can win, especially if Crellin retains his place, so I wouldn’t expect they’ll make too many changes but hopefully enough to weaken their team. I think it’s important we score first because that might create a bit more space for us at their back to get a second. We must be due a good performance so let’s hope it’s today to give the whole place a bit of a lift because another defeat will just add to the gloom before meeting Salford next week.

Certainly won't be buying this one in. little interest. will listen if radio comm on Radio Manc.
I see Crewe not in great form themselves. Marc iles put it out that they'd lost their last 3 & not scored in 5 hours of football. so we do have a chance. hope he rotates and gives some others a chance. getting 3 or 4 options for the first team probably more important than the result.
I wouldn't put it past him to still play Crellin. he's never the given the other keepers a chance in other cup ties has he ?

FA Cup not the same this year this year unfortunately. League structure works at a stretch with no fans in the cup? Different product altogether. No romance at all. Would be bittersweet to get through and get an away tie at Old Trafford, Anfield and not take the fans. I dont know if theres any money in it this year either.
But a great chance to see changes. Try a few new things and play with a bit of freedom.
I'd go Gilkes Hickman Santos Delaney Gordon Riley White Sarcevic Darcy Crawfodd Miller
Assume Kioso is tied. Fonz time to recoup and Riley can play as i assume hes not been registered for league.

Well Ian Evatt knows what he wants. Even though it goes against the grain for most.
I dont want to hear anymore outburst from Evatt after games now. Hes made it pretty clear even admitting he foresaw the L.Orient game from the squad and still put the players in.

Embarrassingly one-sided

Against my better judgement, decided to waste another tenner. Wish I'd learnt my lesson.
We seem afraid of them. Standing off and letting them play. Body language makes the team look dejected. Kioso and Gordon still cannot go past anyone. Can't pass accurately. Good job there's no crowd there because the boos would be long and loud. Maybe that's what they need to wake them up. All well and good Evatt saying don't criticise on social media but it's the only opportunity to express an opinion to the manager.
Have a go at them, try and score, show some desire / passion. That's all we ask. Aimless hit and hope isn't going to do it though.
Don't know how we are level at half time. Should be at least 1 - 2 down

Should be 3 or 4 down but after a bad start we’re still level. We’ve had plenty of games where we haven’t taken advantage so let’s hope for once we can come good later in the game to win it. Don’t know why he plays Gordon, sorry but a total waste of a shirt, does absolutely nothing. Get down the wing then just stops and turns back, Get Greenidge on instead and at least give him a chance, he surely can’t be any worse. I think we’ll win this one 2-1.
