Straight swap for Judge?
Excellent suggestion!!
Straight swap for Judge?
I am not nor have ever been ITK but I have heard he's not going anywhere on loan this season.
CH wants him around.
Crofty has looked good in his appearances this season - very surprised at the criticism. Not in the long term plans due to age of course but there were a few home games and one (maybe Hudds) where he came on for the second half and looked one of the most assured players on the park. Best tackler of our midfeilders I'd say.
Also, many are forgetting his purple patch before his latest injury where he was fantastic...
Surprised some are putting the boot in a little tbh...
I think the issue with Crofts is that he contributes very little going forward. It's not that he is a bad player. It is more that he does very little ''offensively'' and for a side chasing promotion that isn't enough

I agree with this post. Whilst he has not returned to his best form as he has only had a few minutes playing, he is a better header,passer and tackler than Stephens.
Why did Mr D pick him against Cardiff then ?
Agree...He's all huff and puff and offers nothing.Why would Brentford want him? They're into moneyball, but Crofts doesn't do anything - he doesn't tackle, he can't pass particularly well, he doesn't score goals any more and he can't get around the pitch. He has experience but he doesn't have much quality any more.

That is absolutely ridiculous. How anybody could think that Crofts is better at any function of the game than Stephens is simply unjustifiable - even at his best, Crofts has never been a shadow of the player that Stephens is. That's not a criticism as such, he's been very good at the job he does for the team, but he's not a particularly good player. I have no doubt he's good around the dressing room though, and I've never disliked Crofts - he'll run through a wall for you so, like Calderon, I'm more than happy to overlook his comparative lack of quality for his attitude and his commitment but let's not kid ourselves that he's a good footballer.
This is the same Andrew Crofts who was skipper at Norwich when they got promoted to the Prem? Okay.
Congratulations, you win the prize for most predictable post of the day.
I love stating the obvious, because it is just that. Obvious.
In most peoples book Crofts would struggle to make our team now but not apparently in CH eyes as he seems to see something we all miss
