havanatopia Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Bottom versus Top; how much of the form book and the league position do we rip up for this one? Who wants it more City or Crewe? You can really only see one winner can you not? That takes nothing away from a team desperate for points but, and here is where it sounds like bravado, Crewe are hardly City only 12 months ago. Has to be the most nailed on 3 points of the entire season and, as much as i admire the academy of Crewe and really hope they stay up, i would like to order a hammering today please. 0-4 or 1-3 if you don't mind. I think it is time Smith and Agard got a goal or two and the usual Wilbs strike and one out of the unknown like Little maybe. Hasta la vista desde Vigan, el norte de Luzon... about as close a place to old Havana as you are gonna get. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 It used to be a popular quiz question; "Name all five football league teams with a X in their name". The answer was Halifax, Oxford, Exeter, Wrexham and Crewe. Crewe are the only one not to have dropped into the Conference yet. For those without tickets, no need to POTD. Turn left on leaving the railway station and near the junction of Nantwich Road and Gresty Lane there is a set of railings where you can stand on the pavement and look through and see about 85% of the pitch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HoldenBall Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 (edited) Won't be comfortable this at all, I hope the players don't think they just have to show up and win. I'm going 1-1. Edited December 20, 2014 by Iron Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fat Controller Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 With absolutely no disrespect to Crewe at all (who, like others, I admire as a club), we need to be winning these games if we have any intention of being promoted. I'll take any sort of win today, even if we have to grind out a 1-0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid in the Riot Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Glad to see Flint come out and state the importance of an early goal. We need to start faster than we did last week. Crewe have scored the least, and conceded the most goals in the division. Difficult to make a case for anything other than a City win.

ChippenhamRed Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 An away performance in the Peterborough mould would see us win comfortably. Hoping that's what we get. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malago Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 As always, an early goal will lead to a comfortable win. The longer it goes without scoring, the more tense it will get. The last time we went up, we scored the winner there in injury time, when the ball bounced off of Showumni's shin and dribbled over the line.

old_eastender Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Reckon this will be a lot closer than league table suggests. Crewe have Nicky Ajose in on loan and he is a dangerous player at this level (reckon he would have been a good addition for us), but still going for a City win 1-2.

... Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 3-0, possibly 4-0 to City. Crewe cannot live with our tempo or movement, nor can they cope with our front two. City top for Xmas. TFR P.S.

Aizoon Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 You can get a Crewe win at 5/1. That is pretty hefty for a home team in the same division.

TheCulturalBomb Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 4-0 to us. it would have to be the worst performance of the season to lose this one, regardless of Crewe being bottom and wanting to beat the big side.
