Crewe Alexandra captain Mickey Demetriou said the team must recognize where they have gone wrong in certain games this season and work hard not to repeat those mistakes.
The Alex side were denied a vital win in their League Two play-off challenge last Saturday when Harrogate Town equalized in the 93rd minute at Morne Fleck Stadium.

This is the third time Crewe has conceded a goal after 90 minutes this season, and the team’s points dropped from the lead to 14 points.
If they don’t, Lieber’s side, currently in 10th place, will be in second place – just one point behind leaders Bromley.
Demetriou told BBC Radio Stoke: “We’ve been doing well this season but looking back at the games we should have won and we’ve lost games we should have won or drawn – we’d be top of the table.”
“As players, we have to take responsibility and recognize where we went wrong and where we went wrong in key moments of the game.

“We need to make sure we stay focused throughout the 95, 96 minutes of the game and try not to fall behind at any point.
“It’s important to see that moment in the game – there’s nothing you can do on the training pitch to help see that moment with three minutes left.
“We have to make sure we don’t do it again — or try to not do it again — because it’s frustrating for everyone.”
Despite the points drop, Crewe remained in good position for the remainder of the season.
With 21 games left, Alexis are four points outside the top seven and eight points from Chesterfield in the last play-off spot and Tranmere Rovers in 17th.

“You can see how crowded the table is – if the teams in the bottom half win a few games, they will join us in the top half,” the 35-year-old said previously.
“We know we have to do this [against Barrow]. We need to make the game what we want it to be.
“We have to get going again. At this point in the season we have to get points in the table.”
