Andrew Crofts - now (2021) Brighton U23 manager (p9)

Leuth · July 2017

His role in the team if he plays will be to run after the guy who's got the ball for the opposition at a distance of three paces, and be official possession loser when he has it

He showed again tonight how inept he is. We have no hope if he is in our first X!

Crofts lost the ball on numerous occasions last night,got outpaced and spun a fair few times.We need a better player in his position.

If he plays it might as well be ten

And we have our 2017/8 scapecoat.

At best third choice but more likely 4th or 5th choice CM but hey, everybody needs someone to scapegoat.

I'll let him off for the sake of the 30 yard thunderbolt attempt in the first 10 minutes.

Leuth · July 2017

I don't do scapegoats. I do slow midfielders whose legs have gone and who get to the ball about half a second too late

Leuth · July 2017

If there's an actual scapegoat (which there shouldn't be) it'll be a player much more central to the first team, like Clarke or whoever's in goal. But I prefer people to support the players at the game. You can moan constructively about people who are plainly inadequate on here though!

Not his fault he activated the clause in his contract, that if he played x amount of games last season, he would get a new deal.

Now, who put that clause in then?

From what I've seen he's a midfielder you expect to see in L1.

Thought Novak was the scapegoat this season.

"Spun a fair few times".

Perhaps he'd been on the drink beforehand!

And Page. And Phillips. And anybody else who occasionally cocks up.

Crofts may as well be the scapegoat, he'll be lucky to find himself on the bench. Will probably end up dissapearing like Mark Gower did a few years back.
