You can see the Pennines and even as far as Jodrell Bank, which probably explains the quality of the Wi-Fi. But I’m really not looking forward to having to get back down again at 7:30!!! If they even think of playing Vertigo by U2, then I’m out of here!Crewe Alexandra are unbeaten in their past eight home matches in all competitions against Doncaster Rovers since a 2-1 defeat in April 2013 in a League One meeting.
This is Crewe Alexandra’s seventh play-off campaign and their first since the 2011-12 League Two play-offs which they won 2-0 at Wembley against Cheltenham. Doncaster have only featured in two EFL play-offs, beating Leeds in the 2007-08 League One final but losing the 2018-19 League One semi-final to Charlton Athletic on penalties after a 4-4 aggregate draw in Grant McCann’s first spell in charge.
In contrast, opponents Crewe have won just one of their past nine games but McCann does not think their poor form will have any bearing on these games. "I liken it to when a tennis player gets to match point and the commentators say, 'They have tightened up.'. We can't do that.Crewe boss Lee Bell makes one change from the side that started the final day draw at Colchester nine days ago. Josh Austerfield is in and Chris Long drops to the bench.Doncaster Rovers also make just one alteration from their final day outing. Harrison Biggins is back from injury and takes the place of Tommy Rowe.
