BolloxAverage player in a poor team tonight.
Check his running stats... You'll probably be shocked. He runs the most nearly every gameGreat first half but doesnt have the legs. Actually intelligent player when hes not blowing.
Maybe if we didnt give the ball away so often might be an asset.
In a derogatory sense?Runs around lots of square balls
No just as in thats what he does. I dont think hes great tbh and we need better to push for the play offs whether thats this season or next. Someone elss said it really well on another thread. Something along the lines of despite the positives from Tuesday such as more posession, sustained pressure. The players we have already with maybe 3 or 4exceptions, and all of Warnocks signings just arent fit or very good. The goals we conceded tell you everything you need to know about this squad. I dont see Crooks becoming a Leadbitter type signing and see him more fading from memory as soon as we get some proper footballersIn a derogatory sense?
He's very mobile and very fit, but given the ground he covers he's bound to tire at some point.
The quality of his passing has really surprised me, its been excellent and he always looks to play it forwards when he can, but it's a fact that even the most creative midfield players make a lot of 'square balls', for every creative pass there's always going to be a handful of simple ones.
For me he's been our best buy for quite some time, a goalscoring midfielder who is strong, athletic and can play too, is the player we thought we'd signed when We paid £7m for Saville.
