Not making the starting 11 for a team 17th in league 1.

What went wrong for the lad?

Might get his mojo back coming back .Not sure if Evatt would want to accommodate him as Sarevic occupies that role.Crawford has been bang average so far but he has enough energy to get all around the park.Not sure Zac would be that enthusiastic tracking back.

Still you never know .I would personally trade Comley White & Mascoll for him.

I think everyone would ... which is a problem because we'd need up to three clubs to want to take them off us.  Anyone who has seen them this season would steer well clear.

He’s one of those luxury players you can probably carry in divisions 3&4 so long as he’s got solid lads around him.

Id like to see him given a go in our side

See I don’t understand this logic. He was class for us in championship as well. 
 

I don’t see him as a luxury at all

I reckon he's good enough for L1 no problem once up to speed. He'll take some going to get up to championship standard but i don't care about that just yet

He was doing alright for Forest under the manager who signed him

And for us in a shite team

Plenty good enough

A good point. Iirc, when he first signed, their fans were quite impressed.

Different role to Crawford though, Clough further forward generally.  He would easily be accommodated in the squad, even if he only played every time one of Doyle, Fonz and Sarce wasn't on the pitch due to injury etc.  Effectively he'd be in place of Miller (and Arthur) as a minimum and would also provide an alternative to Crawford/Fonz, tactically. 

Would love Clough back. Can’t see it happening though.

Aye, thinking if Clough came back it'd be in place of Sarcervic

Probably best to stop living in the past and move on

Cloudy would be technically head and shoulders above what we have now. Put him up top with Doyle and I think that’d be a fairly lethal league 2 strike force. 

If it happened and he was the same calibre as when he left, he'd be our best player by a mile.

When did he last play a competitive game?

He was in the tight bastards section looking a packet of Finney Haddock and half leg of lamb. Had a Macintosh Haggis and selection box of cheese crackers in his basket.

I didn’t speak to him , because I didn’t want a hat trick of Wanderers players totally ignoring me in Tesco on my CV.

The others in question being Campo and Diouf.

Maybe if you just said hi, instead of following them round the store with your knob hanging out?

I see one of the Forest coaches sometimes when dog walking, I'll get the latest on him

Spoke to him this morning (he left Forest for Leicester in Feb).

Reckons his general fitness level was never there, you have to have a level of fitness to be selected. As we know, he wasn't making the u23s.

He reckoned Forest had 48 pros when he was there, Hughton will be definitely be having a clear out!

Is that because he was consistently injured, or because he was a bit lazy?

Lazy

Crawford out, Clough in would be a massive upgrade.

Doubt it'll happen, but nice if it did.

If we could get the old clough yes

but like I asked yesterday when did he last play competitively and you ask why hasn’t he been playing

He'd replace the Fonz for me.

Good movement and link play would suit Sarcevic. Possibly replace Crawford, though I reckon that's the job of another midfielder.

Yeah good point

If forest are letting him go at least ask if he can come and train to get fit

Having not paid much attention to in-game set up recently, I'd assumed Crawford has been in that No 10 role?

Either way I'd have Clough back in an instant and I'd hedge a bet he'd think the same. Not arsed what his wages currently are, if Bolton came asking he'd take what was on offer. For me it's an easy slot into the player off the 2 forwards, link up play, little slide rule balls, set pieces, movement that we don't currently have. 

Gilks

Santos, Delaney, Taft

Jones, Tutte, Sarce, Mascoll

Clough

Fonz, Doyle

 

No brainer for me.
