Super Saint Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 What does everyone think of Lee Croft. I think he is ok but not as good as Millar. Hopefulyl won't keep Chris out of the side. Lives of the fact his girlfriend is a WAG i think and won't be here next season so lets get wee Chris back in the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He undoubtedly offers more than Millar in an attacking context Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamie_Beatson Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Different type of player from Millar entirely. More direct and I've been impressed by his passing accuracy in particular so far - seems to find gaps to slip the ball through. Handy for Fran and Sheridan who both like that kind of service.

McD Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Offers much more than Millar and doesn't shirk tackles. Still needs to get a bit fitter, in which case could prove even better. I reckon he'll be one we won't want to see go by the end of the season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintDougie Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Entirely different player from Millar. I've been very impressed with him so far. Brilliant attacking forward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SingaporeSaint Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I still think Chris Millar has a place in the team/squad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Edstar101 Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I still think Chris Millar has a place in the team/squad. Agreed My criticism of Millar over the period has been his lack of goals, or even assists (he seems to get a nosebleed when anywhere near the opposition goal end of the pitch). Croft has the ability to provide both, and as someone said, is much more direct and more accurate with his passing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teamwork Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 He doesnt look 100% fit to me, but he looks bigger and stronger than Chris, i,d have him in in the starting 11 week in week out, decent looking player. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garydavidson Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I wil make my mind up when I see more of him but looks like he could do with shifting a few stone. Doubt he grafts as hard as Millar. Out of interest how many assists does Croft have so far to go with his one goal? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I wil make my mind up when I see more of him but looks like he could do with shifting a few stone. Doubt he grafts as hard as Millar. Out of interest how many assists does Croft have so far to go with his one goal? 1, He passed the ball to Morris for his goal against Motherwell. 1 goal, 1 assist in 3 matches (none of which he's finished) isn't too bad a return in my eyes. If he can be directly involved in 2 goals in every 3 games, we can't complain too much I don't think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ryangordon86 Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 Only player on the books on a similar level to Jody when it comes to spotting/playing a pass. Some of his disguised reverse passes are great. Would have him ahead of millar every week but needs to get fitter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bridgendboy Posted February 7, 2012 Report Share Posted February 7, 2012 I think he has fitted in very well and think he has got fitter very quickly. On Sunday he was tracking back all the time and looked the part to me. I like Chris Millar too and reckon there is a place for both of them in the squad.

Kilgour Posted February 8, 2012 Report Share Posted February 8, 2012 Chunky monkey but I would start him every game on what Ive seen. Can actually cross a ball with accuracy and is robust in the tackle ( maybe explains the bird ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cagey Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 Are we able to return him from where he came? A bit harsh. I think he still needs a couple of weeks to get fit. Until then he should only get 45 mins. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slf Posted February 13, 2012 Report Share Posted February 13, 2012 A bit harsh. I think he still needs a couple of weeks to get fit. Until then he should only get 45 mins. he could practice staying on his feet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ajs Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 Having seen the highlights i am disgusted with crofts simulation and even if it means we dont get as many desicions i would highly encourage that we get the small minority of diving out of out team, i would rather win fair, i am seething at suso but i dont have any repect for any divers, including any of our players that try this, hope croft doesnt try this again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carse of Gowrie Saint Posted February 18, 2012 Report Share Posted February 18, 2012 No problem with Croft trying to win the penalty, it's part of football and hopefully next time the ref will give us the penalty. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
truefaith Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 No problem with Croft trying to win the penalty, it's part of football and hopefully next time the ref will give us the penalty. I have a problem with it: it's cheating, and I don't want to see Saints win that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jings Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Let's face it, if he'd judged it well, he would have been clattered. He's just a poor diver. The vast amount of penalties given, could have been avoided if the player actually tried to keep his feet. The simple fact is, when the opportunity arises, the player goes down. When we have a Gary O'Connor in our team, that's when we need to speak up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
