I have to laugh when I see crooks in people's staring 11. Most people havnt even seen him play. And rossiter has to start. And we are not going to pay 1.5million for garner and put him on the bench.

New £1.8m signing bombed out the squad?

I would drop Hill for wilson and probably holt and Miller aswell.

Has anyone watched any games when Hill is playing? The guy is crap, Wilson all day over him. Also did we not just sign a striker in the form of Joe Garner? is holt any better than Rossiter?

hooly78 I've seen crooks play mate, and i'm sure he'l do a fantastic job for us, He's no chance of getting into midfield though so looks like Cb position is where he'l be playin.

@WhatATeam - if he is as good as you say then why does he have no chance of getting a game in midfield?

BossHogg, at the current moment there's too many midfielders in front of him the now, if he performs the way that got him in league 1 team of the year then he'l definitely get into midfield, but i think at the current moment he'l be used as defender.

If garners thro the middle don't hink waghorn has pace t play a wide position would mibi suit windass better.

him and Wilson will be our centrebacks.

Crooks will be a mainstay of the team this season - he is comfortable on the ball and very composed - fans will not be disappointed by him -.

he is a cdm who has been used in the cb capacity before and his versatility was one of the reasons he was named in the league 1 team of the year.
I do think he should be played in the cb position as we have rossiter who for me is a better player in that role and will only get better.
midfield for me is starting with rossiter, holt and forrester bringing on barton and niko 60 to 70 mins.

This crooks obsession is an embarrassment.

The guy hasn't kicked a ball for us yet. Nobody knows how he will handle himself playing for rangers- there is a world of difference playing for us compared to acrington.

Could spend hours listing players who have looked promising at smaller clubs but flopped after moving to bigger sides.

One example- stenstass was hailed as one of best left backs in Europe after staring for Rosenberg in champions league. Was absolutely dreadful for us and openly admitted he couldn't handle the pressure.

I wouldn't say its an embarrassment mr nice, I think that people like to think that he will solve our frailties because we haven't managed to get any1 else in.

I understand you being embarrassed about people going on about Matt CroOKs, Mr nice but you can understand why can't you. The central defensive situation is a real worry-Rob and Danny haven't played well together for ages, Clint doesn't seem to be the answer, Senderos would seem to be a fairly underwhelming option and there doesn't seem to be any other option on the horizon although the lad Bates might turn out to be a star in the future. Anyway we need hope that someone can come into the team now or very soon and greatly improve what's obviously our weakest area . Just now that's looking like it might have to come from our own ranks. No most of us haven't seen him play and he might turn out to be a donkey or take months to settle (or never) but before he got injured he was playing well in England at a level similar to the SPL so that gives me hope that he will be a good player for us and might even surpass expectations and be great. With Kiernan and Wilson playing every game at the momentthat has me biting my nails so it'd be nice not to feel that way and until he proves otherwise Crooks gives me that hope and as they say hope is a wonderful thing?

Rossiter would be the first name on my team sheet. He is a quality player that we are very fortunate to have. Safari as our centre backs are concerned neither of the two incumbents are good enough and both are significantly better than Hill! Whether Crooks will play at Centre Back is questionable. If he is as good as people say he is then the logical role would surely be alongside Rossiter.

There might be an argument for going with one centre back in some games and crowding our midfield, problem I see, even if we did this, is that we don't have a quality centre back to play that role. Maybe there is an argument for switching Wallace to centre back now that we have a decent quality cover for full back.

So crooks gets strait in the team although he's not kicked a ball and garner doesn't make it to the bench 1.5 mil on a reserve very good.

Just leave garner out in reserves aye.

Forrester not even a seat on the bench? And you've not seen Crooks at CH either. Or anywhere for that matter.
