That's a stretch. I don't think Edwards, as well as he played, got anywhere near the level of JJ in terms of getting on the ball and terrorising the opposition. But it's a good point that when two reach a certain level of confidence and play, others around them will raise their levels too.Originally Posted by durhampie
On Crowley, we can now say for sure that LW missed a trick when he didn't drop him deeper and onto the ball when we suddenly lost Palmer and Bostock.
Remember when Crowley arrived and he couldn't get over 'all the detail' he was being presented with. Probably LW couldn't get past having Crowley in the same familiar slots to play moves 27A or 16B (ways of playing in Nemane), but we had other players for there, and Crowley would've helped our midfield problems for a while.
The freedom SM seems to be willing to give DC and JJ is a mouth-watering prospect for the entertainment we could get this season.
