With the Bulls due to visit on Saturday, Crewe boss Steve Davis has said he was glad to offload two players that had 'negative vibes'.
Davis sold Antoni Sarcevic to Chester and loaned Jordan Connerton to Kendal Town after they told him they didn't want to play for the club any more. He told their official site: "I only want players here who want to play for Crewe Alexandra. I am not interested in those who are not committed that way."
Davis' hopes of signing a new striker appear to be slim after getting knockbacks over his two targets. Doncaster forward Chris Brown's fitness problems meant he was unlikely to be match fit before the New Year, while a second target was withdrawn when his club suffered an injury to one of their first choice strikers. He, however, still hopes to sign a left back:
"There is a possibility on one but another has decided to go to a League One club. Neil (Baker) has spoken to a manager concerning the one we want and it is encouraging. There are a lot of factors as usual, especially if there are clubs from higher league interested."
Meanwhile local paper Crewe Chronicle, in their betting column, write:
'Hereford FC visit Gresty Road this Saturday and the Railwaymen, with a spring in their step, should expect to win this one. The Bulls are currently in 19th position in League Two and have a pretty dismal away record for the season with just one victory in eight trips.'
