Correct - he's HALF decent!
Long is crying out for someone with a bit of pace to play alongside him

Crooks was woefeul, I've not been to all the games this year but every single one I have been to this guy has never impressed me.
Does he even care? The least interested looking player I've seen for a long time.
Ha. I bet you were saying the exact same about O'Toole in November 2014? Sensationalism.

Sensationalism.
Agreed. It's just his style of play.

I wonder if he might have a striker from the Dutch league lined up as a quick fix till the end of the season?
You are probably right - that Dutch guy out in Dubai? for a start!

Little credit seems to be given to Sc***horpe on here. They have pace and possibly the trickiest little player in the division in Duane Holmes, who incidentally was onside for their 2nd. His quickness also foxed Ingram for their third. To top it all they are the team bang in form right now - maybe we were just unlucky enough to have met them at the worst time... https://www.footballwebpages.co.uk/league-one/form-guide/fourA good side, a settled side and a balanced side. We have a manager who thinks our players can't play Sat/Tues/Sat, but Scunny had 8 players who were in the starting 11 in all the games against us.

We have to play a grafter in midfield , even though it means not playing our best eleven players . One of Poole or McWillams has to start as a holding player alongside either JJOT or Grimes . McGugan also has to start further forward , even though he picks nice passes from deep . I’m not at all sure about Foley’s role or where he is best suited , but he needs to show he is up for it a bit more . Let’s not forget , this game wasn’t a game of two halves as many have suggested . We were awful for the opening 15 minutes and only did well for 30 minutes of the first half .

It’s great to see Crookes back. I thought he looked a lazy lump at first but as his fitness improved his game improved greatly. The same this time, give him a couple of games or so to get his sharpness back and he’ll be bagging goals again. Great signing.

The question with Crooks is , where does he play and in place of who ? How can you get Grimes , McGugan , JJOT and Crooks in the same side ? I don’t think you can .

It was a completely different game versus Oxford . They tried to pass through us and played in front of our back four . Sc***horpe have real pace throughout and exposed us .

So would you have him ahead of Grimes, McGugan, Crooks, Poole and JJOT i.e most of our midfield pack?
If we are playing 4-2-3-1 then I would have him ahead of all but JJOT for a place in the 2, then Grimes, McGugan and Crooks in the 3 further up. I would play him ahead of Poole because he is a young player of our own, and needs to play to develop. Our position in the league leans towards playing Poole as he has been a beast when he has played but don't forget he was signed as a CB for when JED want us 5-3-2. It's a difficult problem to fit everyone in but as he is a young talent I would rather he plays.

It was working reasonably well for the first half on Saturday. However, my preference would certainly be to have wingers playing on the wing.

I think Poole or mcwilliams should have replaced o'toole as Foley does not get stuck in like those 3 do.

There is probably an answer, unfortunately just one that doesn't boost our players confidence. Waiting for January and the signing of wingers and then the plethora of central midfielders can fight it out and we can all debate our preferred choice. Either change how high the back line push up or employ some pacey full backs to reduce the amount of times we get cut open.

A good side, a settled side and a balanced side. We have a manager who thinks our players can't play Sat/Tues/Sat, but Scunny had 8 players who were in the starting 11 in all the games against us.
Fair point but JFH has stated his policy at the moment is to use fringe players when the opportunity arises. I wager that at least 7/8 players from Sat will play tomorrow? Furthermore the performance of the reserves at the Cup game especially 2nd half limited Scun’ to only one goal. Slightly better than Saturday! There appears to be an element of anti JFH opinion creeping in. Opinions are fine as it’s what we do, but sometimes it depends who/where it comes from.

Hope you're not suggesting JFH tinkers with the team too much? everbrite won't like it.
