CSmith Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Happy that Crawford is away. Realistically was the last pick in our midfield and was just clearly not good enough for this level. Definitely a decent championship level player incapable of making the jump 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gianfranco Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 I take it he did really, really well for you guys then?He’s not the worst player we’ve ever had but he’s not particularly good at anything. He’s like a 4/5 out of ten at everything. No specialist skills. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Aldo Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 No harm to him but Crawford was a strange signing in the first place and his performances only added to that. He could never be accused of a lack of effort but was clearly nowhere near good enough for this level.I'd imagine he'll be able to do a job in the Championship without ever being spectacular. Good luck to him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was brought in as cover after Donnelly picked up his injury last season and Robinson was apparently obsessed with signing players from Livi. He bounced around the squad from that point on. My view is that he was tidy enough but @Gianfranco sums him up well in saying he's not the worst but doesn't really have any stand out qualities (certainly at Premiership level). I get the feeling he got his extension really because it was an easy deal to get done to give us a bit of continuity through the summer as we were changing up our recruitment and needed bodies in early doors. From what I can tell he played his best football for McCall when he was at Ayr, so your manager knows what he's getting which is a plus point for you guys I'd say.

thisGRAEME Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 He's what you get delivered if you order Allan Campbell on Wish. 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crazylegsjoe_mfc Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 He lacked the physique and/or technical ability to impose himself on a game in the Premiership. I thought he was tidy enough moving the ball sideways but lacked anything above that. Always applied himself well though so goes with my best wishes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course at least he did apply himself unlike another former midfielder now playing in the Championship 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nowhere near the worst we have had or will have in future. Think Partick will be good for him 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZX1886 Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 Not really arsed about St Johnston signing Nadir. He was okay for us but bar a dead rubber against Accies I don't remember him doing a great deal. If they were to sign Gboly however...I liked him purely because of how much he wound up the Dundee fans every time we played them. The goals against Accies weren’t too bad either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank f**k we appointed Alexander. 8 hours ago, capt_oats said: Aye, I've said it on here before but when you look at the rebuild we've seen on and off the park under Alexander (we're advertising for another first team strength and conditioning coach on top of the various other new roles we've created) I genuinely find it difficult to imagine what a Tommy Wright Motherwell would even have looked like. Said it last year, Wright is a fucking dinosaur 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

While I do agree with this, I think that might be slightly generous. I'd say that if I had played instead of Crawford there would be no discernible difference between us. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

well fan for life Posted January 7, 2022 Share Posted January 7, 2022 A guy I work with ended up making small talk with Sam Foley at a kids birthday party last year. Apparently he's a sound enough guy. I said it before but Crawford was the ultimate nearly player. Nearly make a pass. Nearly win a tackle. Nearly make an interception. Glad he's gone and there's no reality in which I need to watch him in a Motherwell shirt ever again. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
