In defence of Crooks and we dont know how its affecting him, he shouldn't have been playing - period. He decided to soldier on and not have an operation..
He played for Norwich i think. We could start him and he get can score a hat trick for us instead of the oppositionThere must be more to Dowell? He's actually quite experienced and has played for some good clubs, why has he looked so lightweight?
It's proper dodgy isn't it. We talk about signing injured players sometimes, but this really was them signing an injured player so that their owner's friend's club, i.e. us, could free up some wages to allow us to sign someone else. I wonder what their fans make of the apparent arrangement with us.He hasnt even played once for westerlo![]()
Way too many changes forced or voluntary
Over thinking formation to be strong in the second half of games .
. Outthought at Sheffield Utd , our wingers failed against their narrow defence - we take both ours off and Wilder makes his sub and Clark I think, made the pitch big , and we run out of steam .
Relying on Ollie for almost all the goals lately but with no service or too much focus on feeding him the rest forgot to to look for others once he was marked
Abysmal wing play - two wingers who want to be heroes more than playing others in - their shooting is pretty dire .
I know it’s a bit abbreviated but couldn’t be bothered with the rest .
If I remember correctly, this was exactly the type of midfielder that Serge said he wanted when he joinedI agree. Crooks should be getting 15-20 minutes off the bench next season as his height and late runs into the box is still an asset but he should not be starting games regularly.
Look at Coventry’s midfield today. Grimes is 30-years-old but has played every single minute of every game in the league. He’s fit as a fiddle. Onyeka and Torp are incredibly athletic and physical as well. Slater is the only midfielder I’d want to be starting most games next season.
Yep. Conceding goals makes everything else harder because once you go behind the opposition has something to defend and tightens up further. We complain about attackers not finishing but actually our finishing has been very good this season and often it's half chances they're working with, especially recently. That happens when you keep having to chase games and give teams something to hang onto.What's gone wrong - only 3 teams have let in more goals than we have - that is exactly what the problem is

Hopefully repeated on Saturday, thankfully after the match I'm off round town with my brother*, sisters, and extended family.Could ask the same question about the forum, it's been out of action all day.
Is this serious or a wind up?Anyone seen the latest footage from Coyle in town?
I do believe his tongue was firmly in his cheek lolIs this serious or a wind up?
