Fancy us to get a few today, mainly because we will have an attacking option from both full backs with Phillips coming in for Willis. 3-0 City with Ward and a Nouble double.

Yep, I know we haven't been scoring many, but since Willis has been full back we have offered almost next to nothing from the right flank.

With both Stokes and Philips pushing forwards I would be expecting us to be creating a lot more.

On the flip side to attacking from the full backs is we leave ourselves open for the counter attack.

Not really, I would assume we'd approach the game with the same defensive shape and positioning. The difference being that Phillips can both beat his man and deliver the ball consistently well. Willis can do neither.

They can create all they want, but will need bodies in the box to get on the end of them.

Stuck in bloody Glasgow instead of being at the game :(

Just over 15,000 and a 3-1 win. Mowbray to sign a two year contract and Division 3 champions next season.

Like the Div 3 ref, old school. The way it should be.

Just got here, in the casino having a beer and brought my old dear. Didn't like seeing the Wasps logo walking up but it is what it is. My old dear is a bit of a lucky omen when we've taken her to games before. I'm going for 2-0 us, crowd of 15,002 and my mum to get arrested for berating Crewe fans.

2 - 1, Barton to score anytime and shut the idiotic Barton haters around me up*.

*I'm not saying he's a world beater but the abuse he gets is not justified.

You can't have much respect for the talent of the manager if you are hoping certain players get injured so he is forced not to pick them.
You can't have many brain cells if you think Willis will offer more, in a game like this, than Phillips at right back.

Well, of course that is true, but JOB always looks likely and as I said, Philips himself is more than capable of getting his name on the scoresheet. Then you have Reda too. It's not just all about the forwards.

I think we may well get 3 today. Really fancy our chances. Crewe have to win and in the last 3 home games we have dominated and found ourselves up against stubborn defences. Today Crewe need to win.
