Rampant Alex set to go again

08 April 2011 13:00
Dario Gradi could name an unchanged team when Crewe travel to relegation battlers Barnet. The Alex boss saw his side demolish Cheltenham 8-1 at Gresty Road last weekend. However, Luke Murphy should be fit again after missing that game due to a groin problem and the midfielder will hope to force his way back into the starting line-up. Ajay Leitch-Smith had hoped to return from the hamstring injury that has ruled him out of the last two matches but the striker appears to be losing his battle to be fit. Crewe are six points adrift of the play-off with six games remaining and Gradi believes his side can still claim a coveted top-seven spot. "We`ve got to keep going. Barnet will be as hard a game as we've got left and if we beat them, obviously we'll think we've got a great chance. We won't give up until it's mathematically impossible," said Gradi. "We've been talking about blooding some of the younger players but we won't put them in while we've still got a chance of promotion."
