Yet to see a crewe fan say anything bad about Pickering. Not one of them is glad he's leaving and most seem to think he's bound for the prem. Glad to see we've addressed a problem position permanently, it's taken long enough.

All the players look confused when defending. Nyambe is completely exposed down that right side.

Why does he keep persisting with Rothwell in that front 3.

Fantastic defending from Nyambe that.

I must admit, I'd have chucked stergakis in this game. Warnock got rid of Pears because he saw he wasn't good enough. He's just exploiting his weaknesses, of which he'll know them very well . Thankfully for us their front line have missed every chance that's landed to em.

Gallaghers successful pass percentage must read 0 tonight.

4 self isolations and 4 injuries (excluding Dack). No real surprise.

What's Lenihan doing and where was Pears going?

Nice feeling not shitting myself evertime they go down our left. Douglas looks so much more assured with and without the ball.

Really looking forward to seeing Elliott's raw talent. Happy to see him harness it for a season here and gain some first team experience. He's certainly talented enough to impact our season.

This is an awful game to watch. No purpose behind anything we're doing.

Shocking from Amari’i Bell, gloves in mid-October.

I'm pretty sure Manning wanted large wages, he's been angling for a PL move all summer.

I know he's gone to a champ side. But he does seem to have been angling for a PL move all summer and this had ended up last gasp. It might be a cheap fee, but wages could be out of our range. He's younger than Douglas, but I don't mind having someone as experienced as him around our younger players. He's also a vast upgrade on Bell imo.

Must admit Chaddy. I'm surprised you of all people seem to be subdued after today.

Agreed, outrage, Mowbray Out.

Pears has signed for 4 years.

Haven't signed Elliott yet, but I think it's similar to the previous week where we have to have the deal sheet in by 5pm. Another positive this season, looks like we've installed a newer fax machine, maybe we've even implemented e-mail!

Sorry yes, I spotted it just after i'd posted.

Just seen this as part of the Elliot post on SSN's online transfer ticker. Wouldn't make a bad front 4 would it.

Original tweet about him agreeing:

Mulgrew's gone.

Tony pulling yer leg, of course he was gonna sign someone for up top (not complaining with the quality being touted).

Trybull to be unveiled in a couple of minutes.

And looks like the Trybull rumours are true.
