A fantastic, gutsy second half performance from Rovers and a deserved three points. At half time I could not really see us scoring a goal, let alone winning the game, but the second 45 was the best we have played at Prenton Park for some time, with good spirit and no little quality.
I thought Crewe's opener was appalling defensively; a scuffed knee high cross, a missed clearance from Taylor and a non-existent challenge from Daniels on Pogba who was allowed to bring the ball down and lash it home. I think Daniels was largely at fault for the goal and feared for him a bit at that point, but thereafter he was solid, winning the majority of headers and sweeping up at the back quite well.
In the first half we played some good stuff but with no cutting edge, as has generally been the case in recent weeks. After half time we lifted the tempo and Robbo, Max and Zoum became heavily involved. I was delighted to see Max get his goal, but I thought our man of the match was Adam McGurk who kept probing throughout and showed some lovely touches at times. We really should have finished up with three or four goals haiving laid siege to their goal for long periods in the second half.
I thought Crewe knocked the ball about nicely in midfield, but had very little up front and did not look at all exceptional. This was exactly the sort of game we should win at home, but haven't in recent weeks; a vital three points today with several of our rivals winning, and hopefully we can now push on with two sides in the bottom four to come.
