Haynes debut gives Davis hope

Steve Davis believes Danny Haynes can make a positive impact at Crewe after a promising debut in Saturday's loss to Sheffield United.

The on-loan Notts County forward was introduced off the bench in the 65th minute and caught the eye with his pace as Alex chased an equaliser. "Danny showed some pace and directness in his play and he can take a chance in and around the opposition penalty area," Davis told the club website. "We saw glimpses of that potential on Saturday." Davis has also backed defender George Ray to learn from his late red card versus the Blades, with the 21-year-old being dismissed after protesting to the referee. "George let the frustration of the situation get the better of him because he felt he was fouled," added Davis. "I don't know if it was for the reaction or because he put a hand on him but either way he knows he shouldn't be doing that. That is not in our style. "He let it get the better of him and that is not the first time we have seen that side from George. He is working hard on that part of his game and this will be a learning curve for him."
