So we’re off the mark win a point against Norwich. I didn’t go to the match but reading reports and catching 10 mins of commentary it sounds like we were lucky to take home a point.

Wes didn’t score but he did provide the corner for the equalizer. Adam Hammill continues to impress and won the penaltly which Big Ben Burgess converted.

So after a dissapointing two games it looks good, still waiting for that new number 9 to arrive!

Macclesfield 2 - 0 Blackpool FT

Not a good night at all, in the second half we had less chances and Keith Southern picked up a straight red for violent conduct. Southern appeared to headbutt Terry Dunfield who must of headbutted him back and he was sent off too. So it’s a three match ban for him, from the free kick the second goal came from Gritton.

Maccesfield 1 - 0 Blackpool HT

Half time at the Moss Rose and it’s one nil to Macc. Pool have controlled the play and have plenty of chances to score. Ben Burgess had the ball in the back of the net turning in a Hammill freekick but the linesman had his flag up for offside.

Macc took the lead halfway throught the half a shot squirmed through Gilks into the goal. With a pretty strong team out if the score stays the same it will be a shock to go out!

Full Time report. To come in 45.

Opening day defeat but we’ve got Sone Aluko

We’ll the start of the season didn’t go to plan, to start I wasn’t at the match then Steve Brooker proved to be the party pooper smashing in a volley in the 89th min. Highlight Here. From that match reports it does seem that the team gelled well and we were unfortunate not to take at least a point from the match.

One good point is that we’ve brought in another player, Sone Aluko from Birmingham on loan. Aluko was part of the Aberdeen team that drew with Bayern Munich last season. He’s his goal from that game and another goal against Dundee in the SPL.

Roll on tomorrow night for the First Round of the League Cup against Macclesfield Town!

Rob Edwards, David Vaughan and Mo Camara

Three signing in quick succession Rob Edwards, David Vaughan and Mo Camara. Big Mo has signed on loan till the end of the month while Vaughan and Edwards sign two year contracts. I have to say I’m impressed. A friend of my who’s a Crewe fan commented that David Vaughan will be a fitting replacement for Wes Hoolahan and Rob Edwards has played 15 times for Wales, sounds good!

So it’s looking good for the new season which starts on Saturday. Yes we’ve lost Wes and Kaspars. Had a shit pre-season but it all seems to be coming into place for Saturday………….unfortunately I’m not going to be there……organsing a wedding on the first day of the season……..tut tut tut.

Another Adam Hammill video this time scoring two goals against Southport reserves for Liverpool reserves, the first a great shot / lob the second just a mazy run taking it past three players and then slotting in the back of the net.

He is going to be a star.

Edit: Main video has been removed, two have are still live.

Which one is the best? Add your comment?

Big Ben Burgess may get some stick time to time (remember top scorer last season) but he’s a good journo. Reading some of his work last season in the Gazette he mentioned how after his career he would like to become a sports journalist. This season he’s got his own blog on the Sport of the World website.

Ben will be adding a new article on a weekly basis and he’s started with some stories about pre-season training including how the new training tops dyed everyone blue. To read  the blog just click here.

Wes Hoolahan departs

Well it was coming and Wes has departed for Norwich so we’ll see him next year. Hopefully he’ll get a great reception as he was one of the players that really played a big part in our promotion and importantly will be remembered for that penalty against Preston.

As part of the deal Matthew Gilks has joined, he’s a Goalkeeper so he’s going to be proving some competition for Rabs in goal.
