Well as you may well have heard Crewe went and equalled the club record for biggest win, was held from 5 years ago in November in the same competition - Crewe 8-0 Hartlepool. That year we went up.
The game saw Ashton finally hitting his first hat-trik for the Alex... three sweet goals. Jack added two and with Jones getting a tap in, Vaughan getting the first Lunt just sent Doncaster home after a brilliant free-kick.
It was a strange match as in the second half the Gresty Road End just felt sorry for the visitors and chants like "Doncaster, Doncaster, Doncaster" and "Woahhhh your shitaaaaaaaaa" when Bankole took a goal kick... The Gresty Road End had been converted. There was an excellent peice of work when a chant of "Who are ya? Who are ya?" came from the Gresty Road End was sweetly followed by "We are Crewe, We are Crewe" from.... the Gresty Road End. Halarious few minutes that had most Crewe and no doubt Doncaster fans laughing.
2,100 turned up and those weren't dissapointed... unlike you who would rarther watch Arsenal play rubbish against Valencia. The first five minutes were for us to whether the storm. As you would expect Doncaster came out all guns blazing and trying to get a early goal. However with Foster and Walker at the back we weren't going to let Donnie in, it was just simple play down the left trying to get a cross in. 8 minutes in and Crewe knew we had to start playing, it was difficult though with the players looking cold in minus conditions. The chances then started coming when a long ball from Vaughan on the right went into the path of Ashton in the area, he volleyed it back accross the face of the goal for Jack who was just abit too quick but the on rushing Lunt got hold of it but his low hard shot was neatly saved by the Doncaster keeper with quick reactions. He couldn't do anything about Vaughans shot after 13 minutes though. Brammers pass split the defence in two and Vaughans shot from 10 yards out deflected off a green sock and over the keeper, who was on his knees, and in the net. Doncaster had their chances though, one being Paul Barnes rushing free to power his shot at goal but Bankole got his finger tips to it to push it over... after which he shook his hands in agony. It was soon 2-0 as on the 19th minute Ashton scored a beauty. Jack broke free from a corner and with him and Ashton 2 on 2 he gave it to Ashton who went down the right of the area and took a shot which bounced back of a defender but Ashton stopped his run and with his left foot struck the ball on the volley into the far, bottom, corner. You could hardly sit down as Crewe made it 3-0 with another Ashton goal on the 23rd minute. A brilliant ball from Vaughan found Ashton unmarked just inside the area and once he waited for the ball to drop he volleyed home a screamer. That was usually it for Crewe... don't we normally settle back at 3-0? I mean, thats the most we've scored at Gresty Road this season.
No, not for Deano. He wanted his hat-trick. Another break from a corner saw Dean battle it out against some Donnie defender and just as he entered the box, from the right, he powered a low ball at goal but it whistled past the far post. Couldn't have been far off. Inches if that.
Ashton thought he had his hat-trick wrapped up for Christmas when he tapped home a rebound but the referee had blown a few seconds before his shot.
Walker was then convinced the 4th had gone in from a corner. Tierney's corner beating everyone until Walker at the far post who headed down but the defender on the line cleared off the line... not 3 yards from the line, it was on the line.
Half time 3-0 and cruising in front of a near empty stadium.
Second half brought more and more goals.
10 minutes in and it was 4-0. Vaughan cut in down the left got in the area his
close range shot was parried out into the path of Jack who smashed home his 7th of the season from the penalty spot. Another 10 minutes and another Jack goal when he tapped in a Wright ball. Wright got the fortunate bounce on the edge of the erea to the left took it past one player while keeping it in before hitting it accross the goal for Jack to tap home. 5-0 and Jacks 8th of the season.
Doncaster were creating nothing despite having some of the possesion. This was amazing. 5-0 once in the season all well and good but twice, hmmm are the players ok Dario?
Now cruising at 5-0 all what was needed was a Ashton hat-trick. That came a long floating ball from Paul Tierney on the 78th minute found Ashton at the far post who rose above the Doncaster marker to smash home his 3rd of the games and 6th in 6 games after a 7 month draught.
6-0 and sureley it would be cruel to score more, nahhh. Miles and Lunt interchange down the byline confused the Doncaster defence and a squared ball by Lunt was tapped home by sub Steve Jones. 7-0. We want 8 we want 8. Well we got 8 when Miles was recklessly brought down with a hard tackle on the edge of the area the freekick resulted in a goal. Lee Bell wanted it at first but after a cock up with Bell and Lunt both stepping over the ball instead of one of them kicking it Lunt got back in place and quickly smashed a curler in off the post. 8-0... that'll do.
Is there much point in other teams trying to win this competition? Cardiff, Vale, Tranmere and Luton out.... we're on our way!
