Should Crooks start at Burnley?

Don't think we should drop Forss. His running out of possession is first class, and he has created a few chances too, his knock downs v Blackpool and Norwich both resulting in vital goals. I think he's actually a bit unlucky during open play as he is getting in box but at the moment it just seems like everything is falling for Chuba, but he's doing his part by drawing defenders away.

Forss does a lot of work which is appreciated by the team and gives Chuba the room to get into goal scoring positions - don't change it

Exactly. Forss pressing and running in behind forces the opposition defence to drop off, Crooks doesn't have that to his game so would allow the Burnley defence to squeeze up and reduce the space for Akpom to work in.

He's now come on and scored the winning goal in back to back games.

He was poor earlier in the season but he was playing with a hernia, and most players were struggling under Wilder. Players are given a fresh start under a new manager, so does Crooks deserve a run in the team?

For the record, I'd keep thing as they are for now and continue to use him as a super sub, I was just interested to find out what others thoughts were.

it was 6 or 7 weeks ago and not too invasive. I'd suspect he is near fully fit

yeah the fact he played through most of it tells you how bad it really was, I know we seemed like we were short staffed in midfield but dont think we would of played him against medical advice if it was as bad as it can be
