Don't forget Matt Crooks has come up with 7 league goals and 2 in the cup competitions.
Some of the league goals he's scored have been crucial, two at Ipswich away, two at Gillingham away and an equalizer against Fleetwood. Those 7 league goals are a good return for a midfielder just over halfway through the season, Vaulks only scored 8 all season.
Ben Wiles and Lindsay will get their chance, just not at present.
Why change a centre - midfield of Barlaser and Crooks unless we have to ?

I'm beginning to worry for him. As a team we relied on him for his energy to get us through games. Now we're playing him as an all round utility player.
Where is his best position? He needs to be played there for the betterment of the team and if it detracts from the team he should be dropped.
He's too young to build a team around and he won't be with us long enough to do that but he can’t be played out of position week in week out!
Like I say, I fear for him. But that doesn't stop me enjoying seeing him play for us.

Crooks is a great buy for us. He has everything you could want from a midfielder.
I was talking to Périgordmiller on Saturday and said that I'd like to see the whole of the pitch sometimes to see what work he's doing off the ball.
