In his time at Notts his performances have ranged from good to unplayable. His assists and goal return has been very good and he?ll be in league 1 next season either with or without us.
What has he ever done to suggest he has an ?ego.?
I haven?t witnessed anything. Not a single thing. And where does this perception of him not being part of the team come from? Again, no evidence.
I say with absolute certainty that we don?t win 3 on the bounce over Christmas without him. I was ill over Christmas so watched the MK and Cheltenham games on TV, opting to listen to the away commentary. In both games the commentators constantly stated that everything runs through Crowley, and it absolutely does.
He holds onto the ball because he has the skill to lose a player with ease and give us the overload. And he does it time and time again.
The fans that criticise him for being a show pony are the same as the ones that criticised the likes of Nemane for not trying to take on three players every time he got the ball.
Just have some class. Dan Crowley is a brilliant player at this level and we all know it. If you don?t, then you don?t know the first thing about football.
Absolutely agree with this.

As I said, I do think that there are occasions when he could pass it quicker, but he is a brilliant player.

The one again getting criticised on the match-thread though we won today. Fortunately the Sky commentator who was very good could see what he does / tries to do and mentioned the positive effect he has.
