Crouchy may have been 3 Yards out on the edge of the goal - DIOF was 3 yards out in the middle of the goal and Shanked his header across the goal - if Crouchy wasn't pouching that would have been another one that got away

Do I even credit this with a response? You aren't seriously suggesting that a goal from 3 yards out against Shrewsbury proves you right that crouch is still a valuable option for us? Seriously? He did something that the 24 odd million quid pairing couldn't do at the very least. H Not defending either of them but neither got any service. Only service today came from Tyrese. Not one ball was whipped in like that prior to the goal.

McClean should have done better but hardly the same opportunity as Crouchys.
My point was neither Afobe nor Berahino had them chances to score, although you could argue neither were in the bloody box as both were playing so deep.

And yet there are people on here who think the woeful Berahino is an option. It didn’t help that Saido the striker was pretty much playing central midfield 25 yards away from Afobe very time. If you are going to judge Berahino I think it should be when he is played in his natural position.

Not many, he’s had his problems on and off the field, he seems to have his head screwed on this year. When the new manager comes in I’ll judge him when or if he’s played in his actual position.

The worst part here is that I still think Crouch and Diouf would be more prolific in a 4 4 2 than Afobe and Bera. That after spending around £25M for the pair of them!

Proper goalscorers goal. Wish the others would score. Great to see him acknowledge Campbell’s role in the build up

But he moved in to that space, took a gamble, he may be as old as the hills and be playing from memory but he's still classier act than our other striking clowns!

I don't think anyone is saying that, only that at nearly 38 years of age he remains a class act and I am not sure you can say that of all the highly remunerated 'pretenders' we have on the books such as Afobe, Diouf, Berahino and Campbell for all their pace and muscularity. Let us know when any of the aforementioned have 22 goals for the England team.

We don't have a midfield suited to it, we don't have attackers suited to it, and we got overrun by a league 1 side playing it today. We need 3 in midfield, either in a 4231 or 433, otherwise we get destroyed in the middle.

peter crouch as been worth every penny we spent on him. if we sack rowett I would give Charlie adam and crouchie a go for the rest of the season. peter crouch is respected by everyone in football and as been great for our club.

We need 3 in midfield, either in a 4231 or 433, otherwise we get destroyed in the middle. I agree we lack 2-4 players for this formation, but it's also easy to say we don't have the players for the 4 3 3 formation. Anyway we need a target man able to hold the ball up, but still be a threat with pace and power. I also think I would have cashed in on little Joe just to bring in more size and power in midfield. I would also look for a young and pacy central defender to play alongside Ryan or Indi. Maybe a left winger too, but I actually think Clucas and maybe Etebo could do a good enough job as well, at least as long as we play in this division.

Agreed I would have played Crouch,Bojan and Adam from the off and if they had played well bids would have come in for them. But a stubborn Rowett sticks with the same poor forwards who showed how their value has diminished.

He did something that the 24 odd million quid pairing couldn't do at the very least. H Not defending either of them but neither got any service. Only service today came from Tyrese. Not one ball was whipped in like that prior to the goal. That's been a big problem the whole season in my opinion. The quality of the crosses has in general been terrible, and this needs to be addressed.
