Lee Duxbury is set for a recall for the six-pointer at Crewe on Sunday. Darren Sheridan will definitely not play as he is suspended after amassing five yellow cards. Duxbury, the club captain, will have to fight out for the missing midfield spot with John Eyre who is recovering from an ankle injury. Crewe overtook Athletic in the league after going ten games undefeated. Iain Dowie said of the fixture, “We have to believe in ourselves and believe in our
unbeaten away record. Crewe have talented players and always play good football under Dario Gradi, but remember it’s a difficult game for them, too.”
