Some afternoons a goalkeeper is the team. 7 saves, several of them the sort nobody expects to see stopped, and a scoreline that flatters everybody in front of him.

Jay Robinson, 19, steals the show — 7.75
Marked 7.75 at 19, in a side that makes no allowances for age. He did not need any, and he looked the least nervous man on the pitch.

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

Crewe Alexandra rebuffed over Dominic Hyam
Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Wrexham have kept their man, and Crewe Alexandra go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

1‑2 to Shrewsbury Town, and no complaints worth printing. The performance asked for nothing more than it got.

Crewe Alexandra promote Steven James from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Steven James has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

One of our own: Alexander Marshall joins the Crewe Alexandra first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Alexander Marshall is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

One of our own: Henry Edwards joins the Crewe Alexandra first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Henry Edwards is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.
