pete 2,499 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 (edited) I hate to bring up such a negative thing but when Barton disappeared we left ourselves very short in the anchor-midfield role. The only peron really quoted for that positio is Crooks but with only about 90(?) miutes of first team football it is a big ask for him to step up to the mark. I can't really see anyone else that could play there. Maybe, possibly Danny Wilson could move forward but has he ever played there before. Is it a necessity to bring in a reputed defensive\central midfielder in January. Edited December 11, 2016 by pete 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whosthedado 1,685 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Crooks can apparently play there but not seen enough of him to confirm this to be the case 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talk about putting the hex on something. Try Tavernier. He used to be a fullback and can tackle. He can also press forward. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFK-1 1,693 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 What about Rossiter? I rarely if ever saw him go into a tackle and not win the ball. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilledbear 16 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Find it strange Crooks doesn't get more time on the pitch. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted December 11, 2016 Author Share Posted December 11, 2016 Crooks can apparently play there but not seen enough of him to confirm this to be the case When we did see him there it was also with Halliday against Aberdeen IIRR and to be honest he didn't really stand out. That is the problem with struggling so much we have not been given the chance to play the back-up players. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
MacK1950 2,378 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Crooks has come on as a substitute and from the start in games I have been at and has not impressed me,I feel the step up in class may be too much for him. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gribz 850 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 Agree with JFK, I was expecting Rossiter to walk into that position anyway. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The thing with him though is he has glass legs and is regularly injured but I agree if he could get fit he would be a good answer. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
