Question - if we're a goal down with 5 minutes to go on Wednesday, would you want to bring on Cropper?

I would- somehow the long throw of maher isn't quite as good or as long and we don't seem to make much of it. With 9 on the bench I'd want cropper on there just for his throws - whatever level of player your up against that's a real weapon, and to be honest without it we're probably not going up last year.

I can't see it though as Hurst hasn't had him on the bench for any other games, but with 9 subs you just never know. It would also mean a long throw specialist on both sides of the pitch with maher, seeing as we don't like to send someone across from there side of the pitch unless it's desperate like the playoffs


Think he played in the Lincs Cup game last week, so he'll probably be fit for the bench.

Absolutely - a Cropper throw is better than a JWP corner!

Gallaghers available I believe,also scannel. Cropper played in the lincs Cup and is clearly off being able to start but would surely be fit enough for 5 minutes at the end if we need to just go long throws. So I think there are a fee decisions to make bench wise.

However u don't think Hurst will consider cropper as he will just think we can leave long throw efforts to maher if we do go with that, but to me there is a significant difference in long throw ability between them. Enough to at least give cropper consideration for the bench when you can have 9 on there.

A Maher throw is a mere sling shot compared to Cropper’s 50 megaton thermonuclear bomb. The Jordan Cropper story is already a great one, and one that will live on in Town folklore, but wouldn’t this just be an incredible way to immortalise himself as a Mariner?

I have a funny feeling in my stomach.

Pre-match with Rubén Sellés. Some of the questions should raise a smile or two.
