I'd question why he looks like he's blowing out his arsehole after about 6 minutes of being on the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably equates to about the amount of injury-free training time he has managed to put in. He seems to be one of those players that will never manage 4 consecutive weeks of fitness.

Moult at NDP and Bowman at Dingwall. Add in that he has only scored two goals and it's not much of a return from a wee winger who cannot defend. and he's fat 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the problem he is not playing as an out and out winger he is being asked to play as a wing back where he has to tackle and he is not very good at that .

weeyin Posted April 9, 2018 Report Share Posted April 9, 2018 I see Ali Crawford is leaving Accies in the summer. He could do the proverbial job in our midfield - although I suspect he'll be aiming a little higher (or a little better paid). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Accies fans think he's been useless for the last 2 years or so, I hope we stay well clear of him. We already have better options and there are other better options out there we could bring in, an example being O'Hara of Dundee who I think would fit into our style of play far better.

Lobey_Dosser Posted April 10, 2018 Report Share Posted April 10, 2018 Hibs looks like one of the more likelier destinations for Crawford, particularly if both McGeough and McGinn move on this summer as rumoured. Think O’Hara remains a decent shout for us, certainly a Robinson type player. Polworth may be another one on the radar. Whatever happens this summer, we need to leave room in midfield for Turnbull to get an opportunity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any time I have seen Crawford play (in person or on telly) he has been Accies' best player. His form might have dipped recently, but I'm not surprised given the agricultural style they have adopted on that abomination of a pitch. I'd much rather we expanded our style to include guys like Crawford than bring in more of the same who struggle to pass to one of our players 3 times in a row. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aye, cause getting assists from set pieces is of absolutely no value to a team whatsoever. On 07/04/2018 at 1:15 PM, steelboy said: Two goals against professional opponents in 14 months, one a roll into an empty net the other a neat wee finish off a cross. He has absolutely no shooting threat. As someone has already mentioned he rounded the keeper to create that empty net, do you think McFadden's goal against Macedonia was rotten as well then? It must take a lot of effort to search for negatives the way you do. Aside from this, Elliott Frear was signed by Mark McGhee to play as a left winger, with a left back behind him. With McGhee lasting little over a month after he signed, since then we've only really seen him play as a left wing-back, but for a couple of exceptions. People are on here judging him as a left winger for the way he plays as a left wing-back. Football doesn't work like that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Watched the under20s game last night and was keen to see how Turnbull played, and left disappointed. None of the players on view covered themselves in glory, despite the scoreline, in particular we defended incredibly poorly and our goalkeeper was easily the man of the match. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm the same...anytime I've seen Accies play well, he has been their catalyst. He might be going through a bad spell, but there is a player in there. Who wouldn't struggle to look pure shite in that Accies team? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craigan has said we never played that well, yet grounded out the result as opposed to the last few weeks where we have been much the better side and got nothing. if he left you disappointed and still scored two that isn't too bad !!
