Crewe will not rest after 100% start - Demetriou

Mickey Demetriou was named in the Professional Footballers' Association League Two Team of the Year in 2024

Crewe Alexandra defender Mickey Demetriou says it is "rewarding" to be top of the early League Two table but the club will "not rest" on the success they have had so far.

The Alex have made an excellent start to the campaign with four wins from their first four games to lead the division by two points from Grimsby Town.

"It's only four games in but it's nice to be there," Demetriou, 35, told BBC Radio Stoke.

"We could be somewhere else in the table so it's rewarding."

After wins over Salford City, Accrington Stanley and Crawley Town, the Alex's latest victory came courtesy of a 4-1 hammering of previously unbeaten Fleetwood Town.

"We're playing well and playing some good football but we can't rest on that - we need to keep building and keep improving," Demetriou said.

"We conceded a penalty and didn't keep a clean sheet [against Fleetwood] - so that's something we can work on.

"We also could have scored a few more goals too, so if we're being critical, we just want the best."

Former Kidderminster Harriers, Shrewsbury Town and Newport County centre-back Dementriou is the oldest player in the Alex squad.

As he embarks on his third season with Crewe, he says the sense of togetherness at the club can take them a long way this term.

"Team spirit in the changing room is massive and if you haven't got that then there's no point being out on the pitch," he said.

"The cohesion and spirit we've got is second to none and it's something we pride ourselves on.

"As the oldest player in the changing room I want to make sure that happens - the most successful places I've been have been built inside that changing room. It's massive."

Crewe travel to another unbeaten side - Gillingham - on Saturday.
