Lee Bell has not scored since netting in successive away games in October

Midfielder Lee Bell believes Crewe must win all of their last seven games to make the League Two play-offs.

"We have seven cup-finals," said Bell after Sunday's 1-0 loss at Hereford. "We have to win them all to stand any chance of reaching the play-offs.

Crewe's ninth away defeat in a row leaves them seven points adrift.

"It's time we had a look at ourselves and gave the fans a performance, which they haven't had in a long time," Bell told BBC Radio Stoke.

"Our away form is unbelievable and, to be honest, the fans deserve much better."

Of the seven games Dario Gradi's men have left, only one of them is against a top-half side, Wycombe Wanderers, where they go on 25 April.

And they are helped by the fact that four matches in their run-in are at home.

But Crewe's last away win came on 3 January when they beat Shrewsbury Town 1-0 at the Meadow.

Stuart Fleetwood's goal at Edgar Street on Sunday helped Hereford complete a double over the Railwaymen, having also won 1-0 at Gresty Road on the opening day of the season.
