Norwich City boss Nigel Worthington gave the Alex some credit for 'making everyone sit up and take notice' following the 3-0 win over Sunderland. He told the Norwich Official site, Canaries.co.uk:

"I was not shocked at all by Crewe's result on Saturday," he said. "They are a good side and Dario Gradi has done a fantastic job there. What their win over Sunderland did was make everyone sit up and take notice of them and show just what an open League this is. Everyone is taking points off each other and that is what Crewe will be looking to do to us this weekend.

"We have had them watched a few times and we know, like Coventry, they are a good passing side and will be as a big a threat as any other team. Dario has brought some good young players in who we have to watch carefully, but otherwise as long as we keep the ball down, pass it like we know we can and create chances there is no reason why we shouldn't take away the three points."


After a defeat and two draws in the past three games Worthington may change his teamto try and freshen things up for tomorrow's game.

"I started with the same eleven on Saturday and Tuesday so we may well make a few changes to keep things fresh, I have not made any firm decisions as yet but will watch the lads in training over the next couple of days."
