I'd play watmore rather than Forss.
it was 6 or 7 weeks ago and not too invasive. I'd suspect he is near fully fitHas Crooks had hernia repair surgery?
Watmore is too lightweight for that lone number 9 role, surely?really cant change the starting line up, maybe watmore for Foss but think Watmore is good for a 60min sub anyway
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.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
noHe'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.
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 beit was 6 or 7 weeks ago and not too invasive. I'd suspect he is near fully fit
