Nope, we're not using him wisely at all. He should be rotting on the bench or in the reserves, and not come on at all, unless we're really reallly desperate. Not wise at all.

Tad over the top

I think we do need someone better than him though

Someone will tell you it's another Kneejerk comment but I couldn't agree more mate. He must be laughing his way to the bank every week knowing he's getting all that money for being a useless twunt.

Think his most useful function is being able to put the nets up without going on someone's shoulders.

What annoys me is he is not trying to get on the end of crosses atall.
There was a chance at the end where the ball was put on his head and he tried some silly little lay off which endangered us and I think it was BAE had to make a good recovery tackle.
Maybe because he has lost confidence but when the ball comes near him he is looking to pass it rather than score. I could see what he did last season but not this. Move him on.

he does a brilliant job for us, he has set up 6 of VDV's goals this season.

He laughs when he gives away fouls as 97.642% they arent fouls at all.

And what about when he fluffs his shots or loses the ball?

I may well be a cock - but he is supposed to be a goal scorer isn't he?

6 assists from the hundreds of balls that have been aimed at him is a shit return! just think how many goals VDV would have by now if we had someone who could compete in the air with defenders.

Crpuch is at best, an impact player when we are really desperate, and need to play route 1 football. Even then, he doesnt win the headers often. It was a poor poor decision by Harry to play him today

I'd agree with that, being honest if Crouch was a horse you'd him feed a final bag of oats out in the yard look into his big sad eyes and dispense him with a shotgun.

Actually maybe that's hasty, he's effective against european opponents but in this league - nope.

Apart from the long ball on the diagonal he offers no threat, premiership defenders can cope with him easily hence his goal tally this season. If it wasn't for VDV signing for us we would be struggling Pavnever gets a real run of games and Defoe's injuries have really affected us. We play the majority of our games with 1 striker up front and hasn't even got into double figures this season yes he is always picked as 1st choice. We need a new forward and Andy Carroll is not the answer!
