Schoolboy errors annoy Crewe boss

Crewe manager Steve Holland blamed "suicidal" defending for his team's 4-3 home defeat by Southend on Saturday.

He told BBC Radio Stoke: "To end up losing the game [after leading 3-2] is annoying, the goal that has cost us the points at the end is suicide.

"The first thing you teach an under-eight is if you're the last defender, you don't try to beat the opposing centre-forward.

"If you do that at this level, there's only one consequence."
