Andy Crosby

[robf]

I just thought after this win, it was worth a thread in praise of Andy Crosby.

He's stepped up in incredibly difficult circumstances, had to take on extra things like the media press conferences and (as yesterday showed) been prepared to make some key decisions on the pitch (Aidan Stone, for example). It can't have been easy to take on all that extra workload and to get the squad focused away from events away from the pitch and purely on training and matchdays.

He's conducted himself throughout with great dignity and I think he deserves a lot of praise for stepping up to the interim role.

Whilst agreeing with your post, doesn’t Adam Murray deserve some of the credit as well.

Yes, he does but I think it's Crosby who's taken on the focal point - the media conferences and so on. Murray has been in the background more. That's not to say everyone has pulled together but I think Crosby has really taken on the DC mantle of team figurehead more than Murray.

Great thread Rob… he should be commended for stepping up and helping steady the ship in a very tough period for the club.

Spot on , great post 👍

It's hard to get a manager who knows what they're doing, let alone a no.1 and 2. Great team, destined to take us up.

Difficult time for Andy, I think he is doing a great job. Not his players, doesn't know if/when DC will be back, working with an assistant who applied for DCs job before he was appointed. Must be challenging.

Good topic and deserved praise for Andy Crosby, his work since he joined the club, and particulay during the past month. Hopefully we've rediscovered a winning team combination

Yes. Whatever happens huge credit to the bloke for stepping up to the plate in a difficult situation and conducting himself with great dignity. He really is dealing with a difficult situation.

Well posted Rob.

Sometimes it can be a thankless task. Credit where credit is due - well said m8

People were saying he should be sacked 7 days ago!

Yes and I was one of them. We were dreadful! Saturday was good but we need to keep it going.

I think you have summed that in an absolutely spot-on way--no mean feat to step-up at the best of times, but in such difficult circumstances--all credit to Andy!

Yep AC has done well in the circumstances, he doesn't have a magic wand to wave and immediately bring players back from injury.
