McGree and Crooks

Heres a mad idea... What about moving Watmore to LCM?

He's a winger playing as a forward. A reverse Stuani if you like. But maybe he ought to be a modern day Zenden.

He'd add pace. He'd drive forward with the ball. Imagine than run in the first half tonight but at the end of he has two strikers in the box to pick out instead of 1 and Jones.

Good shout. Did he not play there for blunderland and us under NW? he has to play as well every week even for 65mins. He works his bits off and will run at players. Is always looking to cause problems. He looked fired up tonight. But it doesn’t take a football genius to see he ain’t a natural finisher
 
Crooks played well in parts and is a goal threat, but slows play down and misses/mistimes tackles often. Need to strengthen in that area in January if we're to get anywhere this season.

It's a weird one with Crooks. His instructions seem to have changed. He tarely gets in to the box now when the balls out wide. Often when Jones has it, Crooks goes round the back of him and is an extra crossing option instead of a target.

If it wasn’t for his goals he wouldn’t be in the side. I like him. But he’s mega limited, never looks fit enough at this level.
 
You tell me?
I couldn't give a stuff who celtic wanted, but I wish they had got him.
I think their manager and their scouting team know more about his attributes than me, you and the rest on the board. And can generally attract decent players. On decent money. Not short of options I wouldn’t imagine. That’s the point I’m making

I don't 100% agree with that. I do think he has other qualities as well.

But goals are the big thing. I can't understand why Wilder wouldn't want him getting in the box. On Tuesday when we were chasing the equaliser he took Fry off near the end and had Crooks hanging back instead. Seems bonkers to me.
 
It's a tricky one with Crooks because on one hand you feel he has to start due to the goal threat, but we are seeing more and more just how limited he is.

At one point during the first half he had an opportunity to play a simple ball out wide to Jones and completely overhit it, meaning Jones was unable to control the ball and we lost possession.

I know. A lot of the players seem to be less effective. Whatever they’re been told we don’t know. But it’s so frustrating. Crooks body language don’t look the best either this season. Might just be me mind.
 
I feel these 2 have been poor in the last 2 games. Everybody has off days , but I don't think either could complain if they were dropped. McGree especially at the moment
 
That’s i wanted to see from mcgree that goal today is exactly what I was expecting.

He’s come back from the World Cup a complete revelation.
 
He was playing well before the World Cup. Scored a screamer and was playing well. He’s a very tidy little player, had a great game second half tonight. Not just his goal. He was class. But agree the WC seems to have given him so much confidence and rightly so
 
Humble pie to be dished out once again. He was a good player in a bad system (under Wilder); his exploits with Australia alone suggest how good a footballer he is.
 
Haaa. Ok then. Point? My point is if you can’t see he’s a good player it’s not even worth commenting because you clearly know nothing
My comments were he was poor in 2 games
So your ' you clearly know nothing' comments suggest he is not allowed to be criticised
What a weird thing to be so confrontational
