Agree with posty, it seemed we were about to overwhelm crewe during that purple patch in the first half - and a goal seemed to be coming at any time…. But never did.
We never matched those levels in the second half- the Connor grant sub disrupted us.
Garrick coming on at LWB was a very curious one- but I sense that Lowe is trying to develop his all round game, perhaps with a view to signing him permanently ( for me the defensive side of his game is lacking and he seemed a bit lost at LWB). There is a good player in there I believe- and I was impressed with his runs in midfield later on.
Quite encouraging overall. Credit to crewe who defended very well. We strung loads of passes in front of the massed crewe defence- but had enormous difficulty getting behind them. Lots of routine crosses- but only Broom seemed able to get in behind. On last nights display we were certainly missing Mayor. I would also say Pacey penetrative wing backs might be a target for Lowe in January- players who can get in behind.
we have some very good players- camara, broom, Hardie, Cooper - all look capable of making the step up into the championship - with a few astute signings in January I am optimistic of our play- off chances this season….
