- Onto the game…
Stevenage head into Saturday's game looking to further increase their tremendous away form this season (W3, D1, L1), along with extending a three game win streak in Sky Bet League Two.
A number of first team debuts were made during the midweek Checkatrade Trophy game at Milton Keynes and following tomorrow's game, Darren Sarll's side face a particularly testing couple of weeks.
A trip to Luton Town awaits before Boro host Accrington Stanley for Tuesday Night Football on October 17th.
Meanwhile, after getting off to an unbeaten start in August, Crewe have been struggling for results recently, picking up just one win throughout September.
That win - a 5-1 trumph over Chesterfield - briefly illustrated the Railwaymen's quality in what has otherwise been a down month with five straight league defeats going into tomorrow's game.
- Team news…
Stevenage have two key men out on International Duty this weekend with Ben Kennedy called up for the Northern Ireland U21s and in-form Terence Vancooten called up for Guyana’s First Team squad.
There are no fresh real injury concerns ahead of Saturday's game, although a couple of players are being monitored after picking up knocks in training.
On the comeback trail, Jack King and Mark McKee are believed to be working towards a return date of October 21st when Stevenage host Forest Green Rovers.
For the opposition, Crewe will be without George Ray (back), James Jones (hip) and Ryan Wintle (fractured tibia).
- View from both camps...
“We seem to have a nice balance at the minute, a nice blend. Everyone has been in a decent place and I was happy to take a load off some of the senior players this week with the Tuesday game. That will be of benefit to us because our game is all about energy.
“There has been a lot of progress and it has been a decent start for us. We are still very disappointed about the points we dropped against Lincoln and Swindon because of the manner but we are pleased overall.
“We just want to be as competitive as possible and stay there as long as possible.”
Crewe Alexandra manager, David Artell…
"A lot is made of confidence and as a footballer you have to be confident in your ability. If you are low on confidence before you step onto the pitch then you are in trouble.
“We have got to be more resilient and turn those narrow 1-0 defeats into 1-0 or 2-0 wins.
“I pick a team and formation to win a game. It is not a raffle and there is a lot of thinking that goes into it. We assess our strengths and their weaknesses and make sure we always give ourselves the best chance of winning."
- Previous meetings...
Stevenage have had the better of Crewe over the years with 5 wins, 2 draws and just 1 defeat across all compeititve meetings.
Even more impressive is Boro's record as Gresty Road - 100% with 5 wins out of 5.
Last time we played @crewealexfc, goals from @MattyGodden24 & @Fraserfranks sealed all three points. 👏
