My main observation about Crole since he came back from Torquay is that he has stopped scoring goals (or he’s not scoring them at the rate he used to anyway). Could this be down to him being drilled in all of the other aspects of a striker’s game which you don’t have to bother about so much in youth football where all a teenage striker has to bother about is sticking the ball in the net?
That's possible but there's no point in me trying to speculate, I haven't a clue. It's just a shame. We weren't blessed with strikers last season or this, the chance was there for him to push on and he seemed to be on both Morison's and Bulut's radars but it hasn't happened for him.
