Got the win, but I actually thought the performance as a whole was pretty atrocious. Constant hoofball, barely any football played on the deck, and it was hardly Crewe bringing us down to their level, if anything they knocked it around better (though still :censored:e).
The formation is terrible, Philly doesn't pull the strings at all - intact he doesn't really do anything, Winchester doesn't know where his position is and just runs about, Jones is wasted on the wing would prefer him driving through the middle and Woodland may grow to be decent in the holding role but was anonymous today.
That Ajose is a decent player.
Thought Turner and Forte looked lively especially early on, though Turner should have scored after 5 minutes.
Midfield was embarrassing. I thought Jones was the only player who looked "alright". Winchester :censored:e, Philly awful, Woodland you couldn't tell he was even on the pitch - really was the definition of a headless chicken performance for the lad.
Thought Gerrard was good, won everything that went his way. Coleman bit dodgy early on and kept coming off his line and not winning it but pulled off an excellent save in the second half.
