Matt crooks

[flourbasher]

I'm more than happy to leave it to PW's judgement as to whether he deserves to play

[frogmiller]

I’ve said it before on another thread about Crooksy, this is a different level and he is being asked to play differently in this league which doesn’t allow him the freedom he had in league one. Best way to describe that is to watch him when he doesn’t have the ball compared to last season

A lot more disciplined?

I’m glad no ones slaughtered him on here

No, wouldn’t happen, we don’t do such things on here

Of course you can Welovebooth. Nothing wrong with that but people have the same right to defend the same player.

I agree frog but Grist thinks because people think he is under performing he is been made a scapegoat.

From what I have seen on this board and I keep on sticking up for him the gk is the scapegoat.

We managed to hound out Kevin Watson

We are a better with Crookes in the team, he’s drives us forward IMO, if Crookes plays well we play well. Even thou his style of play is different he’s our new Lee frecklington.

This season Crookes hasn't faired too well, whether it's the death of his close friend or something else in his head...we don't know.
He's a good player and deceptively fast, only 2nd to Chieo over 100yrds, but admitedly not shown a lot yet over 90 mins.
Is he a C/ship player?? Maybe Forest were thinking that. The biggest asset he has, playing good or bad, is his height. At 6ft 4" he's a danger in set pieces.
I'm sure he'll come good..............UTM

Don't forget Matt Crooks suffers from epilepsy which can have a complex range of effects on an individual's mental state and physical performance. These are not always immediately apparent.

Well from the replies, Crooks is this seasons Marmite Man
