      Crankshaw who I thought was outstanding against Liverpool u23’s sent to Dundee on loan.
      Let’s not forget, William’s and Dowell are not much older than him.
      Cook must have his eye on a 30+ year old coming back from a series on injuries and a scouser

      Has Crankshaw gone to Dundee or is it Newsnow speculation, nothing on official site.[/quote]

      Supposedly in the Edinburgh Gazette jr[/quote]

      On official site now. At least they got him to sign an extended contract before he went on loan.

          Kipre was back to his usual self on Satdy, not marking up.
          If you look at his positional play closely, take note of how many times players get goal side of him. Must admit he has improved lately but we are still leaking in pish poor goals.
          If AC Milan are in for Robinson, I’d start working on the boy Pearce in training to get him ready for the Wednesday game. Alternatively, draft Luke Robinson in, he looks a handy defender, doesn’t give much away and looks a hard little bugger who can handle himself.

            We have a great replacement for Robinson if he does go abroad, his name is Robinson. Will he be given a chance Baineseque like, or will the 4th official stalker, move Niasmith to left back, both wrecking the lads form and making us a worse side than we currently are??

              We’ve got a manager out of his depth, why not risk a few players being there as well.?
              Byrne scored but didn’t make one decent tackle, everything came from their left. I know Dujon is injured so we are struggling at right back but I like my full backs to be defenders first and decent going forward second.
              This is now getting ridiculous, everyone is feeling depressed and not enjoying their football, its took a while to grind me down but I’m down. Warnock has gone public that he would like to get a club till the end of the season, are you listening Royle and Co?

                Would be great to see but like I said, they’d be under pressure to do something to win the game and to not make a mistake and lose us the game. Some players thrive off that (wayne rooney for example although he’d been playing a while before that goal) others dont. Cook obviously doesn’t want to put them in that position.

                There’s no point going on about it, I don’t think it’s going to change.

                Exactly and that’s why relegation is now a certainty.

                  The young boy Knight played again for Derby today in their 1-0 win.
                  Been playing well in their development squad so thrown in to see how he faired, never missed a game since. Cook talks about not many young players making the big step up, guess what the reason for that is down to managers like him.

                    Gary Roberts coming on as a sub whilst chasing the game. How good would it have been to see Crankshaw or Joseph coming on. We may not have won but we didn’t anyway.

                      Not sure you need all that George for a like for like sub. The players still on the pitch do exactly what they have been doing.

                      JR is right though, but the players have to take some responsibility also for the loss in concentration that occurs. We can’t keep the same 11 out there just to make sure we don’t concede

                      A draw would have been a good result today tbh
                      The players coming off look disappointed which indicates to me they are feeling ok. As I said Garner was being is nuiscance self and causing a few problems.

                        He plays for a point, he should have changed it.

                        He makes attacking subs, he shouldn’t have changed it.

                        The point is we lose a goal EVERY time he makes changes. Was neither attacking or playing for point change, like for like both players. Garner was doing Ok, Lowe was pants. This is just about the worst performance of the season.

                          Not in the rovers squad today

                          Probably cos he’s injured marrer.

                            We are not talking of moving all the u23’s to the first team we are talking of 3 or 4. Of course EPL U23 teams are getting beat by league one and league two teams there will be players in those teams who haven’t developed yet and maybe 16/17 year olds.
                            We are losing most weekends, continue with the same players, formation, tactics etc we will be relegated without a shadow of doubt.
                            Like what happened with Baines, you don’t give um a chance you will never know whether they will take the big step up or not. He got hammered on his debut but it didn’t knock him back he stuck to the task and the rest is history.
                            I can’t understand why Cook is hung up on age and computer stats. Some of the Liverpool U23 players last night are on more money than our first teamers. 5-6 where in the team that beat Everton in the cup the other week.
                            Is that not a decent benchmark to see how they are developing?.

                                As per the U18’s very well drilled, great work ethic and most of them played on Wednesday.
                                I think Crankshaw has a great future, the lad Miller for Liverpool looks something special if he knuckles down and tidies up his last ball and finishing.
