Crofts was, until his injury, an early player of the season bet.
In addition he adds some much needed fightiness to a lightweight team.
We need more fightiness.
So Ince and Kayal don't do that enough then? I really think good though Crofts was his better days are past him and the type and style of football we need to play are beyond his level of capability. He doesn't have any skills, he will be unlikely to outpace anyone post second cruciate injury and he doesn't appear to be able to move the ball on quickly enough.
Unless we sigh someone considerably better I don't want to see anything other than an Ince/Kayal/Stephens midfield triumvitate. JFC and Crofts can bench warm for when we're 2-0 up in games with ten left to play and you want a steady eddy to come on and close out the game but that's it.
