Ross McCrorie

[billythebear1986 335]

Think he has to be first pick in our Midfield.  Offers more energy and AThletism than any of the others we have on our books. Does the job Coulibably was brought in to do better than he does and isn’t as error prone. Last couple of games he’s been superb. Last season too the Kilmarnock game when he came on. All the games against Aberdeen he was superb. Big game player an with Jack next to him think there could be a decent partnership with them two. 

A creative midfielder to challenge Arfield or mix it up abit an I don’t think we too far away. 

[Mols94 3,670]

He's been very good the last 2 games. I also think he free's Jack up so he can push forward.

[bluenoz 32,306]

I thought he was poor today.

[Lloyd 10,756]

I like the big man. Fuck the Pope Mccrorie.

[stewaj3 1,472]

In some ways improves us massively (over coulibaly), but some of his distribution today was woeful.

Iove that his first thought when facing his own goal is to pivot/look for a forward pass.

Same, he put the ball out the park 2 or 3 times today when it was a simple 5 yard pass.

Wouldn’t be anywhere near my midfield.

The boy tries hard and is good in a tackle but he is limited in passing ability. I'm one of the few who still thinks he is a centre half. Even Gerrard says he's not.

Which isn’t a good thing. At all. As much as i love Jack.

I genuinely don’t think he will make it at us.

Hope I'm wrong but he doesn’t have the quality for me.

If Ross McCrorie is the "first pick" in our midfield then we're in big trouble.

[the old guard 2,426]

Looked rusty to me today, if Gerrard signs Steve Davis he'll fit that role perfectly imo.

Who you putting ahead of him? The big games we won last year he was a stand out. I think Jack is an all round better player now but Ross has the potential. His technical attributes aren’t there yet but he has great physical assets that are so vital in modern football.

[TopCat 4,511]

Decent squad player.. nothing more, nothing less.I'd keep him as back up for Jack,Coulibaly etc.

Thought he played well today FWIW.

We lost against Kilmarnock this time last December.  Ross McCrorie started in midfield and was totally bossed by Mulumbu.  Also, the 4-0 semi-final was humilating but we've to overlook that because he was played in defense.  

Ross McCrorie isn't a quality player at this moment in time and if he's the best we have to offer in midfield we're in trouble.  We only play with one CDM and I'd have Jack ahead of him every time and I'm not even a big fan of Jack.  Hopefully we get much better midfielders than these guys in during the January window.  That midfield three is where we've fallen short for years and it's still an issue now.

Tbh, Jack is looking more effective in a more forward role.

the lad done fine, but i failed to see why we needed him today in all honesty - unless its to give others a rest.

Given time McCrorie will be an absolute bumper of a player. We need to play him.

In my opinion: our most convincing midfielder this season has been Jack (by some margin). He’s a player I’ve always liked but, having gone through multiple windows and managers since he joined us, I’d have hoped we could’ve brought in another CM who was AT LEAST as good as him. McCrorie has lots of potential but we need an upgrade on him (and Coulibaly, Ejaria) for the remainder of the season.

We really don't want Jack pushing forward. He's got nothing in the final third. Mccrorrie has been okay last couple of games.

Jack & Arfield are very good midfield players. We just need that one more piece in there to compliment those two.

Are you joking? Can't shoot, can't see a pass, is never beating a defender 1 v 1 in a million years, he  takes the safe option and plays it wide, every time. Jack is a poor footballer.
