Jones - 7 steady defensively. Not as attacking as he could be. Wasn't overly tested. Quick!
Raglan - 7 calm under pressure. Decent in the air. Distribution not great.
Evatt - 7 didn't miss a header. Some good blocks. Booked for a rash tackle.
O'Neil - 5 never ever a full back. Given a torrid time for the first hour. His man got past him to easily for the goal. Settled later on. Booked.
JOS - 7 touches of class at times. Could have had a hatrick. Worked his socks off.
Herd - 6 did OK. Looked to be getting fitter. Battled hard and decent distribution. Booked for a stupid tackle. Worth persevering g with.
Morsy - 8 Not his best game in a Chesterfield shirt but comfortably the best player on the pitch. MOM
Gardner - 7 2 goals but! He frustrates the life out of you. So wasteful at times. Slows the play down way to much to. First goal a simple finish second a good volley into the ground up into the top corner.
Simons-7 offers very little defensively and won't win anything in the air but pacy, tricky and has a good touch. Started really well but faded after getting clattered first half.
Mani - 7 he's takin some stick on here and rightly so for the two reds but today he did really well. Constant trouble for their back 4. Won his fair share in the air and nearly scored. Ran his knackers off and got sod all from the ref. Well played kid.
Subs
Hird - 7 came on for Herd alongside Morsy and really settled things down. Good substitution.
Talbot - 6 not a deal going forward but helped Oneil out on the right.
Armand - 5 not sure he touched the ball more than two or three times
Make no mistake, Crewe were poor but 2:1 flattered them. I don't remember them having a clear chance second half and we should have won by more. Credit to DS. He picked a very different side and it paid off. They could have folded after the equaliser as Crewe were well on top but we weathered the storm and deserved the win. We tried to play football but also went long at times with Mani up there. He seems a better option than SEB when we go direct.
A final thing, ' How s**t must you be? We're winning away' I don't imagine to be the most encouraging song for fans to sing. Embarrassing to be honest.
