I'm not saying Crooks is the perfect fit; just trying to explore the sense behind the selection and our other options in that position. Call it Devil's Advocate if you like, only I don't see our manager as Satan!
On the subject of defenders playing the forward role I'm reminded of Darius Charles at Stevenage. A nasty player in a nasty side but supremely effective because of his defensive capabilities working up top. Indeed if Tom wasn't so crucial for us at the back I dare say he'd be great in the CF role for us.

I agree CFs aint the main scoring threat, "ALL" strikers should be, thats what striker meant when i went to school.!! Crookes is "NOT" a striker, never has been, never will be.So i dont think yer playing devils advocate Shaker, more defending the indefensible.
