A decent shout.
I know many think we need a left back but I suppose we've already got Crooks and Monty so whether or not Askey agrees with us remains to be seen.
If we did sign a left back what would happen to Crookes? He only signed in the summer.
He'd become our centre back cover and save us bringing someone in

I take your point but Crookes was only signed in the summer and did not come here to be our reserve centre back cover. We have Brisley too remember.

I wonder for once in a very long time if we might get someone in very early in January instead of 11.55 on Jan 31st. It would be a nice change!

Only if we bank the win bonus from the Man City tie, lol.

I dunno, if Kennedy goes we are short of cover in central defence with just Brisley on the bench.

I actually wonder if Crookes long-term future is CB. While he may not have the attacking qualities of a left full-back I think he'd do well as a CB.

Legge isn't going to last forever and Brisley is pushing 30.

Crookes is also a left-footer so it's not impossible to see Smith/Crookes as a future partnership.

I would like to tell Colin what I tell my granddaughter. That money won't burn a hole in your pocket!! We now have good honest owners who won't pretend money gets eaten up with running costs. Let us wait until the end of the season and see then what we need.

Given that Crookes has done a job that he isn't really cut out for, and assuming that he's ok at centre half, he really deserves the chance to work his way into contention for that role.

I don't see him as either short or long term solution for left back given the requirements of the roll, so it's Monty or another for me.

Using Monty gives us far better balance and he's also much more effective from deep positions.
