Railwaymen waiting on Brown

Jordan Brown is an injury doubt for Crewe as Steve Davis' npower League Two play-off chasers prepare to host Cheltenham.

Former West Ham youngster Brown, who has made seven appearances since joining the Railwaymen in February, sustained a leg injury in a heavy challenge during Tuesday's 2-1 reserve win over Wigan. The left-back is Davis' only significant concern as his side look to maintain a 13-match unbeaten run that leaves them outside the top seven on goal difference alone. Defenders Matt Tootle and Carl Martin featured for the reserves in midweek having recently recovered from thigh injuries, along with Max Clayton (foot), Lee Bell and Shaun Miller - the latter two taking the opportunity to build match sharpness. Victory at the weekend would move Alex to within a point of the Robins, who currently lie sixth.
