Boybluesy 3,819 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 What's our view on Crooks now. Hard game to really judge as we were god awful all over. Thought he lacked match sharpness and wasn't particularly good at anything. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
cushynumber 25,178 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 he was good at being just over 6'3" Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
weir1872 3 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Seen him a few times for the u20's mostly played at centre back and he never looked up to much. Has never looked fully match fit in any game I've seen and was no where near the pace last night. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.E.C. 19,082 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 He was all over the place in the first half postionally. He was the furtherest forward at one point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SeparateEntityMyArse 54,297 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Think it'll be next season, after a good pre season, before he'll be fit enough. Probably a decent player in there, just so unfit looking that he looks dross at the moment. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Band of Brothers 10,303 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 He was doing the mannequin challenge last night with a few others but hopefully he comes good. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

loyal 136 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 He suppose to be a defender/midfield player that plays a holding position .I generally felt last night he wasn't sure of his role and looked at times lost. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gandhi1872 186 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Can't judge him on that. Hadn't played a first team game in six months. If anyone is to blame, it's the manager. How can you throw him straight in last night but it wasn't possible for him to be on the bench on Saturday? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_gazza 1,065 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 He shouldn't have started the game last night considering he hasn't played a league game all season. Playing in a game where we the had the worst performance of the season didn't help either. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
K.A.I 36,183 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 IMO shite but it's a bit early. Need to give him a few games before I can say shite and be right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bobby Hume 13,465 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Yeah .... too early maybe .... but last night was as poor a debut as I have ever seen .... but he never stood a chance with what was around him last night. PS :- Debut meaning first start .... not a 15/20 minute run out. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creampuff 22,628 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 Looks a talented player, but not nearly as much as he looked a player that hadn't played a first team match in six months. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Creampuff 22,628 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 He's also not a defensive midfielder, despite those on here that seem to have listened to Sutton claiming that he was... Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bam74 1,040 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 He should never have started as he's obviously miles away from being fit. What I saw of him last night though suggests he isn't up to much. Time will tell. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmurphy1 43 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 It's hard to judge because it's probably not the ideal scenario being chucked in against Hearts at Tynecastle, when you've barely kicked a ball all season and the team is performing poorly. In saying that, he did look completely lost last night. That swipe at the ball when Walker nicked in and took it was amateur stuff. No awareness of what was going on around him and he constantly seemed to be floating across the midfield, with little idea of where he was supposed to be. He may be useful in a more compact formation, but he looked badly exposed in our midfield set up. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingKirk 25,812 Posted December 1, 2016 Share Posted December 1, 2016 utter shit I can't actually believe we started with a midfield of a Rangers reject in Halliday a hearts reject in holt and a 21 year old from Accrington Stanley. Good midfield's have struggled away from home v hearts that midfield last night had no chance We should've known that but I suppose we all hoped for a miracle....... fuckin sad depressing times Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
