Transfer targets

Blackburn Rovers tell Crewe Alexandra: Ryan Alebiosu is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

The dugout

Máximo Álvarez keeps the receipts

“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Crewe Alexandra may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

Market

Jack Powell is on his way

The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Crewe Alexandra is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Transfer targets

Leon Chiwome will not be coming to Crewe Alexandra

Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Wolverhampton is saying, and nobody at Crewe Alexandra is enjoying the guessing.

Match

7 unbeaten for Crewe Alexandra

Hard to beat is not the same as winning, but 7 matches without defeat is a foundation Crewe Alexandra did not have in the autumn.

Squad

Tempers go at Crewe Alexandra

Lewie Coyle was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Transfer targets

Too dear: Crewe Alexandra walk away from Ben Wilson

$100.0K was the most the club would pay and Coventry City were asking for more. Deals like this are revived in the last week of a window roughly half the time, and everybody involved knows it.

Squad

Words at Crewe Alexandra training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Tennai Watson is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Match

Crewe Alexandra see off Harrogate Town

Three points for Crewe Alexandra, 1‑0 the final word against Harrogate Town in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Squad

At 20, Selton is already the best thing here

An average of 7.42 in a first team he is several years too young for. Crewe Alexandra have something, and by now the whole division has noticed.

Match

The run is over for Crewe Alexandra

7 matches without defeat, and then Swindon Town. Nobody at the ground pretended it would go on forever; nobody expected it to stop here either.

Squad

Tempers go at Crewe Alexandra

Charlie McNeill was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match

A bad afternoon for Crewe Alexandra against Swindon Town

0‑1 to Swindon Town, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Squad

Máximo Álvarez wants to go home

“I have tried. I have really tried, and every day I wake up in the wrong place.” Nobody at Crewe Alexandra can coach that out of a man, and nobody there is pretending to.

Player ratings

Sofian Bahloul beats them one at a time

Successful dribbles: 16. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

The dugout

The manager’s verdict

“That is on me. I pick the team and I picked wrong.” Managers say that when they mean it and when they need to be seen to, and after 0‑1 Edward Fisher left the room before anybody could ask which.

In brief
