Baker - Walker did nothing wrong.

Richard 'The Doorman' Walker

Preston manager, Craig Brown, claimed Richard Walker elbowed Fuller twive before Fuller retaliated to get himself sent off but Neil Baker says this isn't the case. The Alex coaching staff have watched two difference tapes of the games and both show that Richard Walker didn't do anything wrong...

NeiL Baker told CreweAlex.net: "We requested two vide tapes from two different TV Stations and both show that Richard did absolutely nothing wrong.

"The two of them exchanged words on the pitch and Richard did well to keep his control. It is great credit to him and as far as we're concerned he didn't step out of line."

Meanwhile the defender himself told the official site's 'CreweAlexWorld' that Craig Brown's done the right thing in sticking by his player but...

"I think you expect a manager to stand by his player and Craig Brown's done the right thing there. Im not sure if his reaction warrented a sending off, but Im not sure what does."

Walker, meanwhile, says that simply by making Stoke run after the ball on Saturday could wind up the Stoke fans:

"I think they'll be hyped up and I don't think their own supporters would like to lose to Crewe and that's something we've got to take advantage of. I think Stoke fans think at lowly Crewe are insignificant to them. If we can keep them quiet early on, their own fans might turn on their team and think Crewe shouldn't be passing the ball and have Stoke run after them."
