5 of #CreweAlex's next 6 games in all competitions are at Gresty Road. If they can keep their good early home form going, they can easily be in a great position by the time their Kryptonite month of December arrives.
My review of today's debacle. I try to pick apart the decisions the manager got wrong(and thankfully owned up to) and why they were always destined for failure. A result as bad as the weather. #CreweAlex

👏👏👏 Perfect response and the correct one. It's been a good start to the season and it's been one truly horrendous game out of 13. Fingers crossed he knows exactly what he got wrong(it's pretty obvious) and he puts it right next week. #CreweAlex

Not a criticism of him, but Joel Tabiner's heat map is really quite funny. 20 touches and I think 6 were kick offs. #CreweAlex
Chuck the 2nd half in the bin. Don't care, irrelevant. That 1st half is all that matters. An absolute horror show that was totally avoidable. Lee Bell is at his best when he keeps things simple. The most he overthinks things, disaster strikes. Awful. #CreweAlex
Have referees just decided shirt pulling isn't a foul anymore? 2 penalties probably denied today. Getting a bit ridiculous. #CreweAlex
If Lee Bell doesn't front up to this and take the entirety of the blame for this shambles, I'm going to lose all respect for him. This is on him, Dicker and Lunt. Nobody else. Him. He needs to own it at FT. #CreweAlex
When ranking the tactical decisions made by Lee Bell, there have been some real shockers over the 4 years he's been in charge. This ranks as the worst by a long, long distance. There is/was no logic behind it, at all. #CreweAlex
Genius decision to switch to a back 5 after barely playing with it all season. Genius. #CreweAlex
Fancy making the move permanent in January lads? #CreweAlex
#CreweAlex are back on the road at Chesterfield tomorrow. In my preview of the game, I look at some possible lethargy in the Alex's players, plus analyse Chesterfield's stuttering form compared to their underlying numbers:

The owners didnt seriously expect them to stay up this season did they? Absolutely ridiculous decision.
In my review of #CreweAlex's first league loss of 26-27, I look at 3 massive referee calls that are all incorrect. I also ponder the passive first half and ask why the midfield trio stayed the same positions that didn't work on Saturday:

The all round performance wasn't great, but 3 massive calls have all gone against #CreweAlex tonight. Hard to do anything in those circumstances. Every chance they can go to a stuttering Chesterfield on Saturday and get something.
2 hands out in the top of his back/neck/head. It's a foul. It's always been a foul. Soft? Yes, maybe, but it's still a foul. #CreweAlex
Got no chance. If he gives that one on White, that foul on McNeill is a stonewaller. Ridiculous. #CreweAlex
Very similar feel to Donny last season. Underwhelming, but it's at home and Wimbledon aren't doing so well on the road, so it's winnable whilst also being a free hit. #CreweAlex
In my review of an unnecessarily close win for #CreweAlex today, I look at their tactical plan, wonder how they solve their midfield conundrum and pose 3 possible reasons for why that last 30 minutes happened:
