Crewe Alexandra boss Gudjon Thordarson says the club's supporters can help the team beat the drop from League One.

"It is vital the supporters are going to be with us because it will be tough to get out of this, make no mistakes about it," he told BBC Radio Stoke.

Crewe have lost one of their last five league games and are now four points from safety.

Thordarson said: "We need to get supporters back in their seats to provide a better atmosphere at home."

The former Iceland boss, who got the Crewe job on Christmas Eve, continued: "I think we should be proud and passionate about what we do.

"I think passion is one of the key elements to gaining success. I am a very proud man and I have a passion for what I do."
