For me, he deserves to keep his place, whether Crookes is fit or not.

Sure, he's got an error in him and his defence needs improving but he can learn that in time at SL level and with the season as it is, he has time to learn before the cup/play offs.

Real threat going forward too, looks like a confident player.

Give him a chance I say!

Thoughts?

Like he did against Bradford, only three weeks ago?
I personally don't think he stood much chance. Paddy Flynn is a very fast player.

true,its not as if the rest of the squad had a blinder on friday

TBH Briscoe did look like he was struglling at one point in the game,maybe took a knock?

Thought Lineham looked a real handful on Saturday (as he did in the corresponding fixture last season). Briscoe was probably better policed, but didn't live up to his billing, but was only picking up scraps anyway I suppose. Crookes must be playing well if there is even a debate about him coming back to replace Lineham! I think Crookes played centre for us when he was on loan in the Championship, didn't play many games but was fast powerful and aggressive!

maybe crookes might get a go at centre for us
