Feel bad for Crowe

**Bluebeard** · 11/09/2003, 1:57 PM

Actually the guy I feel sorriest for is Paddy Kenny of sheffield United, who, by all accounts has been one of the main reasons that they have come to prominence of recent months. It seems like nothing he can do is enough to get into the squad. I think he made one squad recently, while Dean Kiely still deigned to turn up for us and someone was injured, and then the third keepers place goes to young Murphy.

No disrespect to Murphy, he is a very good young keeper, but Kenny has a first team place and is doing very well there. It's not likely that WBA are going to sell Hoult - he's a gloved god in the Hawthorns.

I hear good things of Reid at Forest too.

there was a topic on this recently Bluebeard and it seems that Kenny is currently injured (and unfortunately out long term) with damage to his cruciate ligament.
having said that, Kerr didn't seem that interested in him before this.

You'd take an out-of-sorts Crowe over Connolly, the consistently-twenty-plus-a-season English First Division striker? Really?!?

No... please stop... my sides are hurting...

You're saying Crowe is out of sorts. He has scored 11 league goals in 16 league games. If Connolly or Morrison had scored that many you would be singing their praises.

Oh but you probably think 11 goals in 16 games in the el is nothing. What do you mean out of sorts anyway. His job is to score goals and that is what he does, no more no less.

So if Connolly hasn't scored that many goals in a few weeks time will you be saying he's out of sorts too. Coz it's so hard to score against footballing giants like Crewe, Rotherham and Bradford.

Now you are making me laugh

Well Crowe struggled against third division opposition!

Do you honestly believe Crowe is better then Connolly, despite the fact he failed in the third division whereas Connolly is probably the first divisions best striker? And Crowe failed with no less then four clubs in England, so you can't say it was a one off or it just didn't happen for him, he had enough chances and if he was good enough he wouldn't be playing for Bohs. If he came up through the ranks at Bohs you might have a point but he didn't.

And I don't rate Connolly that highly either.

I do not think that crowe is a better player than Connolly, The point I was making was that if you've scored 11 goals in 16 league games how can you be called out of sorts.

He should be given credit where credit is due. He has done a good job for Bohs over the last four years good enough in fact to become the first el player in 16 years to play for Ireland. That is no mean feat.

Ok he did not make it in England but many players have had bad starts to their careers and then gone on to have success. He is still a young enough player and who knows where he will end up.

Afterall Connolly didn't make it in Holland but came back to do a good job in England. That is why I believe you should be judged on current form and not mistakes you've made in the past.
