Another massive game at the DW Stadium on Saturday, Crewe Alexandra are the visitors as we go looking to make it three wins on the bounce in our battle to stay in League 1.
The two clubs have met on 33 occasions down the years, with the last three meetings all coming at Gresty Road.
The last meeting was earlier this campaign, we got a good tonking by three goals to nil and we were never in the game.
Stand out game against the Alex in recent times was in October 2015
A midweek Johnstones Paint Trophy trip 40 miles down the M6, isn’t something that usually whets the appetite nor serves up a feast, but this game was a little different.
Latics team for this game was Jussi Jaaskelainen in goal, Donervon Daniels, Jack Hendry, Leon Barnett and Andy Kellett made up the defence, Chris McCann, Max Power and Francisco Junior sorted out the middle of the park, whilst up front we had Jordy Hiwula alongside Samni Odelusi and making his debut and being introduced to the Latics fans a certain loanee from Middlesbrough, the one, the only Yanic Wildschut.
Odelusi had a penalty saved in the opening minutes of the game before a defensive slip allowed Crewe in and Haber put the Railwaymen a goal up on 6 mins, 4 minutes later and Hiwula equalised for the Latics following a corner and a bit of head tennis, only for Ryan Colclough to restore Crewe’s lead on 36 minutes beating Jussi at his near post, whatever happened to Colclough?
Anyway Hiwula grabbed his second of the game on 70 minutes with a neat finish to put the Latics level once again, then six minutes later Yanic showed what he was all about with a blistering run from inside his own half before unleashing an absolute thunderbolt into the top corner from 20 yards out.
Great stuff.
Highlights Crewe Alex 2:3 Latics
Last home meeting came in August 2015, a 12th minute Michael Jacobs goal enough to separate the sides and give the Latics all three points.
