Nice to see Phillips played well
Just wonder if a case can be made for Phillips suddenly playing well because we have brought Lorentzson in?
Sometimes a player can be more determined to keep his place with a competition for places and a new player breathing down his neck. Just trying that bit harder.
Yes, Lorentzson is injured at the moment, but it didn't sound very serious and surely he'll be banging on the door very soon.
Phillips trying extra hard to keep his place perhaps? He had been poor early on, but has suddenly started putting very good performances together.
Coincidence or not?

Thought he gave a perfect strikers display ,a hattrick and a great overall performance = 10You can't give a player that missed an open goal from 5 years 10 out of 10 surely? 9.9 at best.

I'd love for all our kids to make it.
To be watching a back line of Phillip Willis Harries Haynes in a few years would be amazing (assuming they've all improved to the appropriate level)
Then a midfield including G Thomas, Lawton, Stevenson, Maddison with Sambou up front banging them in.
A man can dream. I remember thinking Willie Boland and Carlita were going to rip the Premises to shreds.
Phillips is benefitting from having a sustained run in the side. He's a young kid, he needs games to eradicate inevitable mistakes and build confidence.
Murphy set up the penalty? Is there something we didn't see on the highlights, cos all we saw was a lovely through ball from Ricketts to Vincelot.RCC not been totally convinced by him, but yesterday he had a great game, and he made a crucial save at 1-0 when he came out and a brilliant block with his feet. From a possible 1-1 game within minutes it was 2-0 and virtually game over. In the 2nd half he made a couple of excellent stops and his decision making was very good too. Crewe actually created more chances than Chesterfield did, and for me it was his best game so far,very pleasing to see.
Philips had a pretty decent game and had a purple period in the 2nd half when he made 3 or 4 great tackles in a very short period.Playing more regularly has helped his confidence, and the team has benefited.
Haynes was always a good attacking outlet, and looked more like the player at the start of his career, defensively still not quite convinced.
Ricketts had a poor start with several misplaced passes, but got much better as the game wore on.
Stokes had another outstanding game, calm and assured and hardly ever gave the ball away. He looked liked he had played there his whole career,don't think there has been a more consistent player for us all season.
Vincelot and Fleck both had steady games,both good without being outstanding.
Cole missed what looked like a sitter in the first minute, was decent without being exceptional, however he rarely gives the ball away, perhaps we all expect too much from him.
Maddison was always busy showing for the ball, shows moments of absolute quality, one pass in the 2nd half to Murphy was sublime.
Murphy showed again what an enigma he can be. My man of the Match though, scored 2 fantastic goals, won the penalty,set up Armstrong's first goal, and also provided a great cross for the sitter that Armstrong missed. Yet he had a 10-15 minute period in the 2nd half, when he looked poor and was brushed off the ball far too easily.Then suddenly he burst into life and becomes virtually unplayable.He is a real talent though and an absolute match winner.
Armstrong two great goals and a penalty, a much needed boost to his confidence, as his goals will be vital in the weeks ahead.
Bigi came on when the game was over, but was involved with a lot of link play and passed the ball a lot better
JOB was as busy as ever and gives a lot of energy, passes a bit astray at times, but was a presence.
Kent a final swansong, always quite liked him , has pace to burn and always got you on the edge of your seat, but as most have said the end product was often lacking. Will be interesting to see how his career develops could end up a mega star or fall by the wayside.
It was ricketts pass
Sorry my bad, I thought it was Murphy that had been brought down, it was down the other end,coming in from the right I assumed it was Murphy. In which case Murphy was garbage,get rid.Murphy set up the penalty? Is there something we didn't see on the highlights, cos all we saw was a lovely through ball from Ricketts to Vincelot.
What did Murphy do?
