Luke Varney

Striker Luke Varney sees the clash with Queens Park Rangers as a game that can push Crewe up the table and closing that gap that holds us down the bottom of the league.

Following a run of three consecutive draws, Luke suggests that spirits are high at Reaseheath and a two wins in the next two games could really separate that gap.

"Before Wednesday's game, we looked at the league table, which we do quite often, and I think there was four points in it between us and the middle of the table. Hopefully, we can go into tomorrow's game and get all three points and get us moving up the table again."

Luke and the rest of the team are used to teams arriving at Gresty Road feeling confident they can push over our squad and claim the three points before the first whistle. However, with moral high and players constantly improving, Luke says that it isn't the same anymore and they are getting into the physical side a lot more.

"We know that tomorrow going to be a physical game and we look back at when we played them last season and we got the win, and hopefully we can go with that and get the win this year. I think we're getting the physical side of the game a bit more now, and there aren't really that many teams that are bullying us anymore. We're losing games now by being out played, but teams aren't bullying us on the pitch.

"QPR are one of those teams, where it won't matter where they play, the can be up for any game and it'll be a tough game.

On top of recent results Luke has seen a stop start in his play in the first team but aims to put that back to a starting position after feeling back to his best.

"It's been a little stop start for me recently, but I feel like when I'm getting the chance I'm making an impact. I'm enjoying it, I know I'm only sub at the minute but I'm just going to keep going and hopefully I'll get that start again.

"Since the Cardiff game my form dipped a little, and then I had a little injury and illness but I think I'm back to my best now and I'm just looking forward to getting back into the team.
