Bell keen for players to quickly overcome home defeat

Crewe Alexandra`s Lee Bell is urging his team-mates to show character and bounce back after another home defeat.

The Alex have lost five of their last six games, the latest Saturday's 1-0 setback against Rotherham United.

Bell told BBC Radio Stoke: "It's the lowest the players have been this season, but results will come again."

Crewe are 11th in League Two but remain only three points off the play-off positions ahead of their next game away to Morecambe.

"We will work on a few things in training this week but we are not far off, we have to keep going. We're still looking up rather than down," added the 26-year-old, who captained the team against Rotherham.

Crewe manager Dario Gradi could be considering a move into the loan market for a full back.

Matt Tootle was withdrawn in the second half against Rotherham after complaining of feeling unwell and could be a doubt for Crewe's first trip to Morecambe's new Globe Arena, while possible replacement Mathew Mitchel-King is out injured.
