He won’t be playing against us, no chance. He might even be playing for us if Kanu is out😂

Francis and Akinde (pen) score again. Can't help but think with Kanu's injury Francis would provide mobility off the bench - i.e. a runner to use Deano's words

Definitely feels like a mistake letting him go out on loan, but hindsight and all that! Tbf this wasn’t an issue when we were winning every week!

Him scoring every week proves it was not a mistake at all. He’ll be a useful player for us regardless of what league we’re in next season. He’s also not played wing back for them, so would’ve been difficult for him to adapt. I think cropper’s been heavily under utilised. Would’ve much rathered have him at rwb and glover lwb yesterday.

I totally agree! Cropper at RWB yesterday would have been a much better option especially after the injuries that we sustained.
I love Luisma & really miss his skils!

I think the thinking behind Coker’s selection was that he would be supply high-quality crosses from the left-flank. It didn’t really work out that way.

I didn't spot that Cropper wasn't even on the bench! I totally understand now!

Problem I have with Cropper is that he isn't very good imo. Last 20 that's about it

Disagree. Think he’s been really good when he has played this season. Much better option than the geriatric Coker.

He's been alright when he's come on. Coker crosses a better ball, anyway he was injured yesterday or would have been in the 16 at least.

Think Cropper was arguably our most effective substitute earlier in the season. But, he's never looked as good from the start, his performances off the bench have been worse lately and we don't know how bad his current injury is.
