Matt Crooks

What a signing. For me could be the best thing Warnock did if he played a big part in that signing. What a player. Wilder will get the best out of him.

Him and Watmore are both incredible players for us

 

[parmoboy]

I think he's really going to excel playing in this system. I said early doors that we should be using him as a box-to-box midfielder.

Looking back, it was bizarre that Warnock tried to use him as a no 10, and a holding midfielder for a few games.

I thought he disappeared in the second half

What about his first half performance and sublime assist? It’s easier to be negative than it is positive. Awesome player for the Boro.

I was buzzing when we signed him but he’s even exceeded my expectations.

Honestly didn't know anything about him, I thought with him coming from Rotherham he would be a typical Warnock yard dog, he's anything but.

 

[Tomato Soup]

Very good first half, did what he needed to in the second.

Was always gonna be the case though, Huddersfield were at home and were always gonna be better second half. Crooks produced a huge bit of quality for the second goal

I knew he was a player but he’s better than I even thought

Simply don't understand how folk can remotely moan about him. He cost 750k and hardly missed a minute.

An absolute bargain. I thought he was superb under Warnock. I agree that Wilder may let him (and others) be a bit more expansive.

He's not only got a great engine but also a decent footballer. A good footballing brain

 

[Nero]

He's been a brilliant signing. For every Assombalonga can Boro have a Crooks please?

 

[Corcaigh_the_Cat]

He, Watmore and Jones have been our most creative players in the games I've seen.

He'll be even better when his fitness improves under the new regime.

 

[TeaCider]

Everyone was quieter in the second half.
But Crooks has been a brilliant signing, there's only really Watmore that compares to him on value for money right now.

 

[S7DiscoDown]

Crooks 700-750k. Sav was 7mi.......the mind boggles

 

[indeedido]

As per earlier thread, I love him, a great buy, fantastic value for money.

He's surprised me in how good a footballer he is - he really looks after the ball and his first touch is excellent.

Our recruitment is often criticised, but this signing has been perfect.
