He might have gotten us goals, but Wilder has been critical of his yellow card tally. quite possibly.. I've always thought Crooks is an odd fit in Wilder's style, but then he's definitely been a good player for us this season, so it's hard to criticise him or for Wilder not to play him. But he can be a little slow/sloppy in position of the ball at times, and also a liability cards wise 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Also a great 'tackle' for their second goal, and nowhere to be seen when they counter attacked us right through the middle of the park for their third. We must be the only club in world football who don't see the need to have a midfielder who can actually protect the centre of the pitch. We need someone in there i agree, but we need a squad mate. Fry should be getting more pelters than he does then if we are picking on specifics in games. He is borderline horrific in many games, but no one wants to hear that 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Neverbefore 10,695 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 With crooks' goal tally this season, he'll likely never be as highly valued. I'd cash in and get a better footballer who can protect possession better as well as create more chances. 2 Link to post Share on other sites

Our top scorer, yet is often anonymous in games...unless he gets booked. A very frustrating individual. I'd like to think there is a better (more intelligent and controlled) player in there somewhere and that he could continue to be a useful goalscoring midfielder for us next season. But possibly Wilder will just think he's more trouble than he's worth. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Tend to agree with this but I wouldn't be shocked if a relegated Burnley bought Crooks for 8 million and he racked up 15 goals from midfield for them next season with the amount of crosses they chuck in! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
AstoriaBoro 152 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Agree with others, I think NcNair will be a good shout to be sold. Wilder has mentioned wanting a left footed CB, I’m not sure he’s quick enough to fit in Wilder’s over-lapping CBs formation (when Dijksteel was out our lack of pace at the back showed) and I’ve never been 100% comfortable with him in midfield.

I'd be disappointed if McNair did go think he's been one of our best performers over the season,he was awful today but so was everyone else. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
GrimsbyBoro 1,959 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Not convinced that the answer to our problem of lack of goals is to sell the top goalscorer. 5 Link to post Share on other sites

With already a huge amount of players leaving the club, and a large rebuild required, I really don’t think we should be looking to sell our top goal scorer. Putting the ball in the net is the hardest thing to do and Crooks definitely has a knack of being in the right place at the right time. Obviously depends on what offers we might get for him.
