BigfinLatic Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Yes but only as a back up keeper to somebody younger, perhaps also offer him a coaching role aswell Exactly - Norm has done fantastic for us this year.. and would have been a great combination if Pogs would have stayed fit... Another year is more than fine with me... but with a young, fit and capable keeper along with him.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jorvik_latic Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Official SMS text...Crossley wants to play on for another year. New contract...Yes or No??? I'd say yes. After the blip to the start of the season, I actually feel comfortable with him in goal. We'd need a decent second choice in case he gets injured (or should that be when) and a youngster who he could coach and improve. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xander_OAFC Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Why is his nickname Norm??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lookers_Carl Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Id say yes, but we cant rely on him as the only goalkeeper like this season, we need to bring in a decent keeper whom would provide good competition and whom we would have no qualms about playing if crossley wasn't fit.

OldhamSheridan Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 Why is his nickname Norm??? Because he looked like Norman Whiteside. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bring Back Ronnie Moore Posted March 28, 2008 Share Posted March 28, 2008 He's already a goalkeeping coach as well. Definitely give him another contract. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oafcprozac Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 He's already a goalkeeping coach as well. Definitely give him another contract. I've been one of his biggest critics and although i'm repeating myself since he returned from injury in November, the Donny FAC game apart he has been a steadying influence and contributed to our defensive record. He's also been the only real experienced voice on the pitch for most of the season and that has proved invaluable. The 3 games he has been out we have missed him and there is no way he would have conceded that goal vs Millwall. For me he gets another year and possibly someone like O'Donell gets a season loan to keep him on his toes and continue his development. The Millwall goal apart he's done ok for a kid.

al_bro Posted March 29, 2008 Share Posted March 29, 2008 Official SMS text...Crossley wants to play on for another year. New contract...Yes or No??? Only as backup. There will be better goalkeepers available in the summer. He is also very injury prone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
