Frase85 1 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Matt Crooks seems to have flown under the radar. Probably because he hasn't been fit since he arrived. I actually forgot all about him. Does anybody think he might be a solution for centre back? I see he can play defensive mid also but hopefully most of you agree that Barton and Rossiter will be more than enough for this position. From what I've seen and read Crooks is quicker than what we have, is good with the ball at his feet and is 6ft 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AljayBoy 2,298 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I've no doubt that over the course of this season he'll end up filling in at times, but no, I don't believe he's the solution. A striker would be nice, but an out-an-out centre half for me is key. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
plymouthranger 3,872 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I saw him last year against Exeter several times, and hes a beast. Hes never a natural centre half, but could be made into a good defender. like a poor mans javi Martinez if you will ? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zulu 981 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I just hope this guy doesnt end up a treatment table jockey we have had our share of that Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jackrfc95 4,255 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 Just now, The Dude said: He was listed on the website as a defender. So was Ricky Foster, wouldn't read too much into that. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staunch 14 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 I remember reading the Accrington fans were wanting him punted when he was playing CB,it wasn't until he moved into the DM role he was like a new player. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bennyali 248 Posted August 5, 2016 Share Posted August 5, 2016 It seems we are all in a centre back panic here. There are about three or four threads on this and the Transfer Forum about a CB. Panic stations Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
