Oppositions View - Crewe Alexandra

Last updated : 02 February 2003 By Rob Davies

WHO IS YOUR ALL TIME FAVOURITE PLAYERS FOR YOUR TEAM?

Alexander's favourite all time Crewe player
A:
Got to be Danny Murphy.

WHICH CHANT IS MOST LIKELY TO BE STARTED BY YOUR FANS?
A:
The great escape tune or 'Who are ya' and if we're winning, Blue Moon which was originally started by Alex fans but I won't go into that.

WHAT IS THE BIGGEST PROBLEM YOU SIDE HAS AT THE MOMENT?
A:
Oh. Can't really think of one. Probably midfield passing is lacking lately.

HOW MANY OF YOUR FANS DO YOU EXPECT TO BE AT THE GAME?
A:
We seem to be taking healthy numbers. Around 400-500 I would guess.

DO YOU HAVE ANY INJURIES TO KEY PLAYERS THAT COULD MEAN THEY MISS THE GAME?
A:
Yes. Our keeper Clayton Ince who's been a revolution this season keeping 20 clean sheets and only conceding 20 ish all season after a pre season where everyone was saying we had no class keep

Clayton Ince - on the injury list
ers. Rodney Jack also misses who would cause trouble with his pace.

WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE GAME EARLIER THIS SEASON BETWEEN THE SIDES?
A:
Game? Nah minds gone blank.

WILL YOU BE COMING TO MEADOW LANE FOR THE GAME? IF SO DO YOU LIKE COMING TO THE LANE/NOTTINGHAM IN GENERAL?
A:
Yes but only been once and that was when we played Notts Forest last season which sent us down so my experience is cr*p.

SO FAR HAS YOUR TEAM LIVED UP TO WHAT YOU EXPECTED BEFORE THE SEASON STARTED? IF NOT, WHAT NEEDS CHANGING?
A:
More so. I was expecting us to snatch second. At the moment we could quite easily take second with ease.

Rob Hulse
SCORE PREDICTION?
A:
Crewe 3-1. Rob Hulse, Dean Ashton and Steve Jones have got 40 goals between them already and you will need a class defence to keep them out. However you will score because we have a circus act as our reserve keeper.
