And in all honesty 3 points would have been the right outcome.
I thoroughly enjoyed it, I'm not sure Crewe are a bad side, we were just a lot better although we are really struggling to create any clear cut chances. I keep saying it's going to take time and it really is. We have more new players to come in to the reckoning but at least there are no more transfers so what we have is what we have.
Williams in the DM position was what we have been missing and he was probably my MOM although I thought Turton was excellent as an outlet on the right and he really got about the pitch. Robson and Ward benefitted from having Williams shoring things up. I thought the back 4 as a whole were pretty good but we were caught out by a counter attack.
My main worry is the front 3. Madine looks the part and I think he will be leading the line for the rest of the season. Yates ran his socks off again, but he doesn't have an end product so I expect Woodburn to come in there and CJ caused problems with his pace although I thought he tired in the last 20 and a couple of pairs of fresh legs to replace him and Yates for the last 15 may have been a better tactic.
So, who do we use up front? Madine? I think so. If we have a fully fit KaiKai I would consider him too as he scores goals but can go missing. I think you have to play Woodburn. So CJ and Kaikai fight it out for the other place with probably Yates. Although NC may rotate Madine and Yates depending on who we are playing.
It may have seemed a bit frustrating but all in all that was a good performance and an improving one. It is going to take a while yet but I truly believe this will be a great team in the future and we will be there or there about the top 6 come the end of the season.
