Alex boss finds positives in loss

Thordarson was appointed Crewe manager in December

Crewe Alexandra manager Gudjon Thordarson has said he can take some positives from Tuesday's 4-2 defeat away by Peterborough United.

The result leaves the Alex rooted to the bottom of League One, seven points from safety.

Thordarson told BBC Radio Stoke: "We were playing against a very good side and for a long time we were OK.

"We scored two good goals but before the next game we have to find a solution to the problems we're facing."

Crewe have now conceded nine goals in their last two games and Thordarson said his side desperately needs to eradicate their defensive mistakes.

"The general formation of our back four was quite strong," said Thordarson.

"Their goals came from bad clearances and in one instance because of a bad goal-kick.

"In many ways we were inviting them to attack and when you play a good side you can't throw mistakes into the game," he added.
