Dunn stuck for words

ATHLETIC manager David Dunn initially struggled to get his words out as he began his post-match briefing.

He said: "I'm probably a little bit speechless, if I'm honest, because I've said that much in the dressing room. Sometimes in life you've got to stand up and be counted. I've just asked the players 'is it something we're doing in training?' There doesn't appear to be anything we can do at times.

"When they go out on to the pitch it's a different story.

"The body language, the desire to play for the club should be there, but I'm not seeing enough of it at the minute. I really ain't seeing enough desire to go out there and put in a performance.

"Crewe looked like a side who were bottom of the table. They scrapped for absolutely everything. I'm not sure we did."
