Crewe Alexandra - Tranmere Rovers
After the 2-1 comeback win at Wyombe the table is starting to come together with it sperating the men from the boys. This is one of the few games we can see as 'easy' over the next two months or so with us be put against nearly every team in the top 12. We haven't lost in eight games and with only 2 goals going past us in those eight games confidence couldn't be higher. If we can win tommorow it could take us into the top 3 or 2 depending on results.

The teams news is very short again. Walton could be on the bench after his operation on his knee ligaments in pre-season but we don't know where Dario stands on that. David Vaughan could be in the team depending on Fridays training session after being feared he damaged his knee cartilage. Other than that it will be the same as the one which started against Wycome; Ince, Wright, Sodje, Walker, Foster, Brammer, Lunt, Sorvel, Rix, Jack, Hulse
