McGhee was not too pleased after the Reading game, saying we lacked 'Cutting Edge' and has warned the team they must improve if they are to see three points this weekend. "In comparison with the Derby game, it was a poor performance. We were excellent at Derby" said McGhee.

Like Reading, Crewe are another team that took six points from us last season - thats twelve between themselves and The Royals, twelve we cannot afford to simply give away if we are going to survive, or end the season without having to worry until the final whistle on the last day of the season.

Despite that, its only just the start of the new season and there is lots more fun to be had...

It has recently been announced that the club have also signed two new players - Sebastian Carole and Florent Chaigneau. Winger Carole has signed on a undisclosed fee from French giants Monaco, while the French keeper Chaigneau has signed a years loan deal. If the club like what they see, there is an option to buy the player at the end of the season. McPhee however who impressed during the pre-season, has been put on loan to Aldershot Town.

However, despite new players at the club, McGhee is expected to field a similar team to that of Reading. The only change that may appear immediately is if Federico Turienzo makes the starting line-up after his impressive display against Reading, however McGhee is wary of starting him without being 100% match fit.

Crewe have made an impressive start to the season, picking up four points from a possible six. They beat Burnley on the opening day of the season, and managed a draw with Norwich. Despite this, the Crewe manager Dario Gradi said after the game "I'll settle for a point as I thought we were out-played for most of the second half, but we still looked dangerous at times."

Players to watch out for include Steve Jones and David Vaughan who both scored in the final minute of each half at Burnley. Jon Colclough, a Crewe fan says "The defence is shaky, the midfield is good except for the Dario-favourite captain and no one knows about the strikers seeing as we've signed half of those available on the market."

The Withdean was completely sold out on Tuesday, despite earlier reports that there were still a 'large quantity' on sale. Another busy day is expected this weekend, so expect over 6,500 fans to attend.

Flying High Predicion:

McGhee has said to the team that they must improve, and I believe they will all be trying their best this weekend to bring home a win - the first since February!
