Boaz Myhill (7) - Untroubled. Crewe really didn't have enough to threaten in the final third and is surely to be their downfall by 30th April.

Scott Wiseman (5) - Probably his worst home performance. Gave away the ball, gave their players too much space which led to chances and corners for Crewe.

Alan Rogers (7) - Very good again. Seems to have a bit of know how about him unlike some of our more inexperienced players. Andy Dawson will be worried about getting back in the team, as good a player he is.

Leon Cort (7) - Did a good job of things today.

Damien Delaney (7) - Likewise, did well, and made a few important challenges and clearances.

Stuart Green (8) - Probably the most commitment and effort we've ever seen from him. He was coming back making challenges (successfully) and using the ball wisely. Looked passionate about getting the result and let other players know about it.

Stuart Elliott (4) - Did nothing of any use. Really wasn't at the races and could have no complaints about being substituted.

Mark Noble (7) - Wasn't outstanding at all but knows what to do with the ball (ie. not give it away).

Keith Andrews (6) - Made a couple of tackles but didn't really impose himself of the game or take control of the midfield.

Jon Parkin (6) - Unlucky not to score with the shot that hit the bar, and did well to get a shot away in the first half after outmuscling a couple of defenders. Looked a bit tired.

Craig Fagan (6) - Deserved to be in the starting line-up and did what he usually does. Struggled a bit with the conditions though and didn't threaten.

Subs:

Kevin Ellison (6) - A typical Ellison performance.

Billy Paynter (6) - Could still have something to offer us and was useful to get some fresh legs on the pitch.

Darryl Duffy (N/A) - Yet to show what we've bought him for, but didn't really have a chance to do that today.
