Charlie crew
« on September 24, 2025, 09:58:58 pm by TonySoprano »
Not a fan.
I get the vibe that he thinks hes better than he is, really needs to up his work rate which let's him down massively.

He was awful tonight, and really let his teammates down.

Poor attitude?

Been very poor the last two games no doubt.

It looked like the occasion got to him tonight. He's definitely a confidence player.

If we want a youngster in there then use our own youth players, not good enough so far needs to step up or move back to Leeds

All 3 loanees tonight were dreadful! Ajayi - barely had a kick. Olusanya - is he really L1 standard? Looks like a non-league player. Crew - looks like he can't be bothered, does he think he's too good for us?

Players don’t go out there not to try. He’s just being played in the wrong areas in midfield. He needs the game undying of him and to play from a deeper position. He’s out of form as well.

One thing I hate to read more than anything on here is people saying players aren’t trying. It’s the worst thing you can say about a footballer IMO. Being miles off the pace looks like lack of effort.

He looks very lazy, and was miles off the effort he should have shown tonight

He looks, and has always looked like he has been coached to take his time to think and find the right pass/move. He isn’t lazy, he certainly doesn’t lack quality. He does need to learn in league 1 and obviously higher you get less time to make these calls, as the pace and athleticism of players is way higher.

He’s a young lad ( very young) he will make many more mistakes, but don’t pin the blame of a loss against 3rd in premier league on his short spell in the game. It wasn’t a great spell for him though agreed.

Crew, Olusanya, and Ajayi need to go back in January. They're not good enough.

Hanlan looked vastly improved. Whether he can score goals or not remains to be seen. Someone needs to.

He was exactly the same on Saturday. Lacked any energy and never made himself available to the defenders trying to play through.

He looked like he had something to prove last season and showed what he was about, but the games I’ve seen him in this season, he looks like he’s not that bothered to be back at Donny.

He’s been crap since he came back.

Send him back, he offers sweet FA

He's very young and still relatively inexperienced so I'd let Grant work his magic for a little longer before we judge, same with Ajayi. Olusanya, I can see potential but he doesn't look at natural goalscorer.

He’s regressed from last season, giving the ball away for the last goal was unforgivable, it should have gone into the box

He just needs a run of games and let him build up some confidence and get fully match sharp mentally. He started slow last time and was taken out the team. Us fans may not think it's that big of a jump from L2 to L1 but I'd wager the players will notice a huge difference playing even mid table L1 teams compared to L2. Give him time and I'm sure he will come good, Grant knows this league as good as any manager out there and wouldn't of brought him in if he didn't think he could be of use.

He had a dip in form last season after a Wales camp.

It must take it out of him having to raise his game back to Rovers' standards  :boxing: :whistle:

For me Charlie is out of form but he is too good not to come back. I am obviously missing something because I think Olusanya is improving with every appearance.

This forum often defies belief!
A few weeks ago everyone was going on like we’d signed Messi, now after a couple of bad games he’s useless.
People need to get a grip and not get so up and down, all players go through periods of poor form, I think when we signed him last year he struggled for a couple of months before being class.
Absolute nonsense spoken on here sometimes

Watched him closely, his first touch when he can on was poor and he lost possession, i watched his next four involvements and he either lost possession or failed to find a man with his pass.

What made it worse on the night was that we'd picked up considerably in the second half and we  were looking to kick on when he arrived with others, it killed our momentum stone dead and we finished the match totally toothless with the horror show of that last engagement which led to their third goal.

Not sure what's wrong with him or if he thinks he should be somewhere further op the pecking order in the league but this display and attitude is something we don't need.

Hopefully GM can work on him and get a tune soon or i can see another being shipped out at xmas.
