Crewe lose control as Preston press on

6 games to go. A 5 point gap to overcome.

Not impossible but City will need to pull up some trees over the next few weeks to stay in contention.

We've done superbly well and will probably still be in with a chance with a game or two to go. That's quite an achievement. There's no giving up hope yet.

Saturday at St Mary's is quite simply must win for City, especially as Preson and Wolves are both away and they have to play each other later in the season.
