Finally 4 shots in quick succession. Ending with a corner played out to Hourihane completely free to pull the trigger on the edge of the box. Should have scored but dragged the hit just wide. But at least we're finally mixing it up, meaning the defenders have a new thing to worry about, also making our many crosses more likely to pay dividends.

Pass the ball through midfield more. We look so much more dangerous playing that way then hitting it wide to create a chance. Not passing it wide at the earliest opportunity when Crewe can flood the box with defenders.

It seems that Warne has found out that he can actually ket us play good football on two-thirds of the pitch, so ling as we then just sling hopeless crosses in.

So we are getting some if what we want, and he’s getting what he wants. So everybody is happy! 🙄

I think Crewe are just better at defending. They're playing 5 at the back so there's no room to play football in and around the centre halves. So we revert to plan A, cross, cross, cross, cross, cross, cross...

And they're playing far too deep for us to get behind. They've done their homework.
