Crewe Alexandra form and stats

8-5-3 (win-draw-lost) are the League One numbers at home for Crewe Alexandra so far this season. In general it's been a long time since Alexandra tasted defeat here at Alexandra Stadium, as they have taken at least one point from their last ten home games in the league.

A 1-1 draw away before that, with Blackpool the opponent.
