    No thank you! wink

    I wouldn't turn Steve Bruce down though I suspect he's a bit too expensive for us poor souls. Quite fancy Paul Hirst who did well with Shrewsbury last year and might be able to gee up the supposed super strikers we signed from them at the start of the season  (but who don't seem able to hit a double width barn door for us! yell). There's always Ian Holloway, Rovers through and through but I suspect his time has gone.

    Please, though, anyone except Steve Cotterell!

    Perhaps your owner will think outside the box and sign an unknown from Europe, it worked for Town.

    If not then you're consigned to getting someone off the manager's merry go round.

    I'm currently struggling with the decision whether to go to the match this afternoon. The weather forecast for us in the Pennines is dire with snow followed by freezing rain coming just in time for kickoff. 

    The players will be ok on that lovely under soil heated pitch😉but getting home again could be difficult.

    I guess I'll give a coat of thinking about in another hour.

    Be safe if you're going out this afternoon

    Another loss for the Terriers. Dominated possession again but couldn't score and conceded a goal on the counterattack 😭

    A little off topic but just heard that Man U have sacked the ‘Special One’

    Happy Christmas 🎅🏻

    With his payoff, M, he could easily buy you out.

    Tragic !

    Was hoping they'd stick with him until the end of the season, at least.

    Maybe Mark Hughes will get the job......😱

    Why does it always happen to us?

    We play at the swamp on Boxing Day and we had a realistic chance of getting a draw but now will Man U experience a new (temporary) manager bounce?

    We're at home to Southampton on Saturday and they're just getting a bounce from their new manager, they beat the gunners last weekend.😱

    The  Alex  succeeded  in  scoring  in  another  away  game,  but  sadly  twas  an  'in  off'  into  their  own  goal,  and  manager  Mr  Artell  got  booked  for  offering  his  glasses  to  one  of  the  match  officials --  think  he  might  have  been  drumming  up  business  for   S*** s*****  again  cool

    Happy  Christmas  everybody,  Happy  Christmas.

    Glasgow Celtic still retain their usual position at the top of the League.   (How boring for the regular fans). I only go to Parkhead about once a season now, much prefer to go and watch the local football teams competing in the minor leagues. Those games are great for the spectator, what the players may lack in skill, they make up for in commitment and enthusiasm. 

    cool

    I've asked Santa for a new goalie, a new back four, three new midfielders and a couple of new strikers because on last Saturday's showing Town are not even a decent Championship side at the moment.

    A very merry Christmas to suffering supporters everywhere

    Trellis,  I've  long  owned  up  to  being  a  Crewe  Alex  fan  altho'  now  seldom  attending.

    If  you  only  own  up  to  successful  sides  remember  Crewe  V  Tottenham  2 ==  2  at  Gresty  Rd  in  FA Cup smile --  replay  Dahn  Sarf  Tottenham  v Crewe  13 == 2  cry  Joke  Fodder  for  Beer  Hall  Comedians .

    Following  year  in  the  same  round  at  The  Lane  Spurs  ==  Crewe    5 ==  2 

      And  a  Happy  Christmas to  you,  mate  innocent

    Stoke  Lost

    P' Vale   Lost

    But  Poor  old  Crewe  Alex  Won  against  Division  Topping  Lincoln

    And,  Trellis  THATS  the  reason  we  support  the less  than  successful / wonderful  lower  division  teams.  This  Crowing  Bliss  seldom  comes  our  way,  but  when  it  does  WHOOPEEEEE.

    Well  as  much  as  I  appreciate  the  Magic  Wand  being  waved  to  some  effect  over  this  blooming  awful  IT system,  I'm  rather  pleased  it  seems  to  be  having  a  'magical'  effect  on  the  Alex'  results   as  well  surprised!!

    Even  tho'  it  was  but  a  simple  1  -- 0  win  over  Stevenage  it  matters  little  except  that's  a  brace  of  consecutive  wins --  hell  of  a  way  to  finish  2018.  laughing

    Brian's  now  hoping  that  2019  continues  the  same  way  'cos  that  would  be  a  Win  Win  Situation.

    { With  apologies to  those  peeps  who  are  not  too  happy  with  that  piece  of  modern  jargon embarassed}

    I  Hope  sincerely  tho'  Folks**,  your  team(s)  are  keeping  your  interest  at  this  time  of  year

    Stoke  lost,  'Vale  drew,  but, alas,  Mighty  Crewe  went  down  3 -- 1.surprised

    It  would  be  too  much  to  hope  that  they  would  have  won  three  in  a  row  but six  (6)  points  out  of  nine (9)  will  be  a  consistent  boost  for  my  spirits  if  they  continue  in  this  vein  till  Eastersmile

     

    P.S. / Edit   The  only  good  things  to  come  out  of  the  Potteries  are  over  cooked  Oatcakes  which  are  useful  for  supporting  your  caravan's  levelling  legs  { but  please  don't  tell  those  Potherbs  what  I  said wink }

    Well, the Tigers certainly mauled Bolton yesterday with a 6 - 0 win - their fifth win in a row.  And who would have thought that Leeds would have lost to them as well.

    Hard to believe that from languishing in the bottom three a couple of months ago, they are now within spitting distance of the play-offs.  Still a long way to go in this difficult Division where anything can happen, but Nigel Adkins seems to be working his magic again!

    Well Rovers have a "new" manager in Graham Coughlan who has done a good job since taking over on an interim basis. Not absolutely sure if it's the right choice but having seen the display on NYD he does seem at least to have got the confidence and respect of the players and it was  certainly a huge improvement on the last few performances under Darryl Clarke. Time will tell, starting at Accrington next weekend. First priority must be to get climbing the table; we're still in a very perilous position with some really tough games to come towards the end of the season.

    After a couple of hefty league defeats, Stanley managed a Cup win over the Tractor boys and if there is a God, a fourth round away fixture at one of the big boys 🙏
