Marked for Iago Scott-Abel

21 Edition

The Crewe Alexandra Chronicle

21 Dec 2026
From our football correspondent Upbeat

Match21 Dec 2026

Crewe Alexandra up to position 3

37 points on the board and a place in the leading group. Nobody at the ground is saying the word out loud yet.

Player ratings21 Dec 2026

Matúš Holíček, 21, steals the show — 7.93

Marked 7.93 at 21, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

Squad21 Dec 2026

Iago Scott-Abel is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 18 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad21 Dec 2026

Matúš Holíček is the real thing at 21

A season average of 7.03 at an age when most of his year group are still in the youth team. Crewe Alexandra know what they have, and so, by now, does everybody else.

Match19 Dec 2026

Crewe Alexandra find a way past Fleetwood Town

Fleetwood Town made Crewe Alexandra work for it, but the scoreboard read 1‑0 at the end and the table does not ask how.

Squad21 Dec 2026

A row about effort at Crewe Alexandra

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Matúš Holíček was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Player ratings21 Dec 2026

Tony Springett runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 17. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

The manager makes an example of Rafa Páez

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

The dugout21 Dec 2026

A satisfied Steven Evans

“The players deserve the credit. My job was easy today.” It was not, and everybody in the room knew it; after 1‑0, Steven Evans could afford to be generous.

From our football correspondent Uneasy

Match26 Sep 2026

A 2-goal lead gone for Crewe Alexandra

It is a specific kind of quiet, a ground watching a winning position dissolve. Salford City kept coming because nothing stopped them, and Crewe Alexandra will be asked about the last half hour all week.

Squad28 Sep 2026

The step up is real for Iago Scott-Abel

At 18 he is doing things this season that he could not do last season, and doing them every week. Form comes and goes; this has stayed long enough to be called something else.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Dion Rankine runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 21. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

Match22 Sep 2026

Crewe Alexandra see off Barrow AFC

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

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

A masterclass from Gaspar Iñíguez

Marked 8.10 — the sort of number a correspondent writes down twice to be sure. Everything he tried came off, and what he did not try was not worth trying.

Player ratings28 Sep 2026

Jack Lankester in the eights

A performance of 8.05 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

Squad28 Sep 2026

Stevie Bausor gifts one

A goalkeeper’s error has no defender behind it to tidy it away. He knew before the ball crossed the line, the crowd knew a second later, and there is nothing anybody can say tonight.

The dugout28 Sep 2026

The manager has not finished forgetting Stevie Bausor's mistake

Publicly it is behind everybody. It is not behind the man who picks the team, and the only place that shows is a team sheet. He will get another chance; he will get it in a match that matters less.

Match26 Sep 2026

Crewe Alexandra and Salford City take a point apiece

It finished 2‑2, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.

In brief

  • Squad Matúš Holíček falls out with a teammate over standards
  • The dugout The manager’s verdict
  • Looking ahead Crewe Alexandra take on the side everybody is chasing
