VIEWS FROM THE DRESSING ROOM
Crewe manager Steve Davis told 91热爆 Radio Stoke:
"We've had a lot of goals in the last three home games, but as long as we're getting the three points, I'm not bothered if it's 5-4 or 6-5.
Davis celebrates big win for Crewe
"It's a big win with us being under strength. We were short and we knew that because we had a very young bench.
"There were a lot of adjustments and a lot of things that we had to change very quickly.
"It was a battling performance under the circumstances so it makes it a very good win tonight."
