So let John and Jimmy train him to play the 'Stanley Way', and fully assess him for the rest of this season and then they can mould him into the squad in his strongest role........Remember Michael Symes who came to us ...'cast off' mainly due to being injury prone and totally lacking match fitness and confidence. He played in the last six matches for us at the end of his first season and was quite poor and slow and sluggish. Jimmy and John personlised his training during the summer, got him fit, sorted out his proness to injury and he was magnificent for us the following season and scored loads of goals. I still recall his wonder goal at Rochdale!!! ...YEESSSS 
So give John and Jimmy and MATT a chance please.

Another good post.
After last nights game i went in the supporters bar and drifted over to the main pitch window to watch the subs warm down.
There was Crookes on his own hammering box to box doggies giving his all,not gloating or celebrating the win.
That tells me a lot about a lad and really do hope he gets fit and believe he will be an asset to the squad and looks like his desire/attitude is spot on.
