Would love to see him involved in March. Same division as 4 players who played last night with a few more from league 1 regularly in squads. Would only fit into a formation of a 10 behind a front 2 which Kenny not keen on it seems. Completely Different than what we have and offers creativity to open up maybe defences of those kind of sides we need to beat to be in the mix with the likes of Serbia for a playoff place. Don't see him having the physical ability for playing wide in a front 3 chasing full backs all day.
He's on a short term contract so probably needs to concentrate on having a club in March rather than anything else. Have you seen him playing much recently?
No lastvtime I've seen him was his first season at Birmingham when he did well I thought in wide areas. Seemed wasted to me in that position doesn't have the pace or physicality for it I don't think. Ideal number 10 though especially when we have none.Quote:

Seems to have settled well 2 wins in the league since he signed playing as a 10.
https://www.gloucestershirelive.co.u...injury-6237546 seems to be going fairly well. Would like to see him in March in a squad at the same level ofva good few of our squad and we don't have a better version of him playing at a higher level at the moment. Think he is only signed till end Dec at Cheltenham so hopefully get a championship move in Jan
Players like Crowley need to be loved and have a manager who is willing to allow him to play. The Championship is so competitive I can see why managers may feel they can’t afford a player of his ilk. The weird thing is he might be more effective in international football, than playing in a higher league in England. If Ogbene can make that transition, why not Crowley. A different kind of player, but it was a tragedy that Paddy McCourt never had a decent club career. His performances for Celtic, when picked were sometimes mesmerising, but it was all about work rate.Quote:

I think his situation is the exact same as
Ryan j. Capped competitively at under age with a different country. While not in possession of an irish passport. The new rule allowed Ryan in
So I'm sure he is OK.
An assist today. Cheltenham on a decent run. Hopefully can get a move in Jan

Willem II are having a terrible season. No wins since September, although there were no games in January, and currently on a run of eight consecutive losses in the league - after winning five and drawing two of their opening ten games!
Second worst goals conceded in the division, and third worst goals scored.
Playing RKC Waalwijk, who knocked them out of the KNVB Cup in October, on Saturday when the Eredivisie resumes.
Willem do seem to be in a bit of a death spiral all right, but that good start you mentioned means they're still four points clear of the relegation places.
Putting a more positive spin on it, at least it shouldn't be too difficult for Crowley to get into the team!
Move to Willem II confirmed on an initial 18-month contract with an option for another year.
https://www.willem-ii.nl/artikel/welcome-back-dan
Played most of the game (came on in the 28th minute) against Sparta Rotterdam. We should see him starting matches soon and hopefully will emerge as a serious option for us. Still only 24.
As an aside, another one of Willem's January signings is the wonderfully named (and I'm not making this up) Jizz Hornkamp, which surely must rank as one of the best footballer names ever.
Got 70 minutes against ajax today. They conceded after he went off and lost one nil. Hopefully see Jim in the march squad. We have nothing like him so worth having him in the squad as an option . Surely there is a limit to tge amount of hard running artisan midfielders one country can have . A bit of stardust amongst the sawdust
I'd be amazed if he's in the March squad. Being honest it's possible that he will never be capped for us, just comes across as a kind of luxury player that we can't afford to carry, given our limitations across the team.
An option off the bench against similar or lower ranked teams when we are looking to get a goal by trying to control possesion to help create some chances from sustained pressure . What's harm.of having him in a squad for friendlies ? We know what the likes of hard working cover the ground lads like browne can offer us. We have so many 8s like knight , browne, molumby, hendrick hourihane and very few 6s with only Cullen and mccarthy and maybe mcgrath and ronan as possible no 10s.Quote:

https://www.telegraaf.nl/sport/20139...-sc-heerenveen 88 minutes this weekend, this report suggests he has been a good recruit for willem
They think he’s an Engelsman. Is he? Has he definitely qualified for us?Quote:

I think there's a precedent with Johansson. If that went through Crowley's should. Maybe it hasn't gone through yet but I'd imagine it would get through soon enough if he gets close to a call up.Quote:

A 3-0 win over Utrecht isn't enough to save Crowley's Willem II from being relegated today.
Great to see him back in England with morecambe
Hopefully it turns out to be a wise move for him.Quote:

I'm sure he had at least one Irish grandparent so the change of rules that helped Ryan Johansson a few years ago would have sorted out any issues with Crowley also.
However, he never built out his all round game beyond being a technical, creative sort. I'd be surprised if he ever wins an Irish cap to be honest.
I think Crowley could have 4 Irish grandparents. Both on the father's side are Irish and the mother has an Irish background too. He was very much from the same sort of Irish Birmingham community as Jack Grealish in that he played a lot of GAA and the family are well known and liked in that circle per someone in that community.Quote:

Yeah, at the age of 25, Wessi had just finished his first season in England,playing for Blackpool in League one, on loan from Livingston. Why wasn't he getting picked by Stan?Quote:

Jesus Liamoo, between Masterson and Crowley you’ve got some soft spots!! Dan is a bit away from a call up….
Got a goal because keeper made complete mess of what should have been a straight forward enough palm away.
