VIEWS FROM THE DRESSING ROOM
Fans will not force Gradi out of Crewe
Crewe manager Dario Gradi told BBC Radio Stoke:
"The fans aren't booing the players. They're booing me, but that's up to them.
"I won't leave this club because of them. I shall hand over when it suits or when somebody else tells me that it's time to go.
"It certainly won't be because of the supporters."
Torquay United manager Martin Ling told BBC Radio Devon:
Our most complete performance - Ling
"The first half is probably where we deserved the two goals, where we played better, but on the break we always looked a danger, we always looked like we could have chances.
"We went eight games without a win and now we've got three wins, nine points, nine goals and none against.
"It's amazing how the confidence can change quickly and we look like a good team again now."
