His comments at the end of the inside matchday video make even more sense now. He’s basically saying ‘not bad as I’m lucky to be playing at all’ this little break now will do him good..

Confirms what a few on here have been saying.
We've gone from looking like a team that was struggling in midfield to one that now has some decent options, albeit we need options in the wide areas and who plays 10 if Chuba is out?

If that’s true then it’s a remarkable recovery time, I was laid up for a month when I had an abdominal one.

Crooksy may also be owed an apology off those who give him dogs-grief on here - again shouting from the hip without engaging the brain.
i'll give some of you a nudge - but have in mind future times you start attacking players to think if there may be something going on in the background.

Crooks needs his Op sorting out now!!
Crooks again last night was the weakest link, looks half a yard slow, and no wonder if his hernia is flaring up during matches,. We cannot afford to carry a midfielder week in week out, who's nowhere near 100% fit. The club needs to sort this out now, its not fair on the players around him, its...

Definitely not the player he was last season under Warnock. What's changed? I noticed on Saturday against Rotherham that he looked as if he'd been asked to sit a lot deeper. It looked as if he was instructed to sit alongside Howson, with Mcgree pushing a bit higher up the pitch. That's not...

Crooks hernia operation date confirmed
Said this a while ago on various threads (see above).
He had the operation on the 21st in Germany, the day before the Huddersfield game at home.

How long has had had his hernia as he was really poor at the back end of last season as well.

Poor lad, He should have been taken out of the squad and allowed to rest and recover. we had other players that could have come on and played.
seems a very risky and silly thing to do.

Wow. I hope they haven’t rushed him back. Obviously he would have been very keen to play but a couple of weeks?

To be fair, if the hernia situation was affecting his performance that much, then he shouldn't have been playing.
The calls for him to be dropped/rested/operated on were probably valid.

Calls for him to be rested so he could get the op were valid as he wasn't up to his previous standards, but saying he was utter **** and a total donkey were not valid as he's obviously a good player.

Crooksy has been excellent value for money - how many midfielders have chipped in with a double figure goal tally in recent years ? We’ve had strikers who’ve got no where near his total last year, plus his ariel presence is very handy at set pieces both defensively and offensively. Three goals and i think two assists so far this season ain’t bad going when he’s
been playing with a handicap

Probably McGree although I'd rather have more of a forward in there (I like that Carrick's thinking was to play a striker in that role, whereas previous managers have more often than not tried to put midfielders in there).
Hoppe also potentially, played attacking midfield as a youngster. Or Watmore?
If we do bring in cover for it, ideally it'll be someone who can play another position. Maybe send Muniz back and look for a striker with similar attributes to Chuba, who can compete with both him and Forss?

I have a suspicion that Muniz' loan will end in January and we will loan another 10 and a wide attacker of two.
We suddenly look well equipped in every other position.
