Would love him to unearth the new Garry Fleming. He’ll be hard pressed to find any Junior football these days..... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jupiter Jazz Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 PJ Crossan has signed for the Loons. What are your thoughts lads? Best out wide or up top? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJ Crossan is a bit of an anomaly in terms of a Duffy signing. He's small, skilful, tricky, injury prone and inconsistent. Which is the exact opposite of the kind of player Duffy usually signed. In terms of ability he has no issue at all. There is plenty. He'll drive at players, show some great skill and lovely wee touches. The issue is that I'm not sure there's much of a connection between his brain and his legs. He'll skin a player, then try and skin him again and run out of play. He'll try and put a cross in when taking the defender on is a better option, and take the defender on when a cross has to go in. At times it's almost like his brain and vision can't keep up with his legs. He's also horribly injury prone. He will miss 6-8 weeks of a full season guaranteed and it will take him another four to get back to any sort of fitness and sharpness. His injury almost always strikes just as he's hitting a bit of form too... All that being said, I wouldn't have been averse to keeping him. On his day he can be a matchwinner and (as he showed in the 4-3 game at Station Park a few years ago) he knows how to lead the line. Personally I reckon he'd be a pretty effective striker, but we almost always played him out wide. He's strong, won't shirk a challenge, is stocky and has a good turn of pace. Good luck to him at the Loons. I hope he gets an injury free season under his belt. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bring Back Paddy Flannery Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Crossan isn’t someone I wanted to keep, good luck to him at Forfar. No doubt the Facebook group will be in meltdown at us losing another player who in reality contributed very little last season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BallochSonsFan Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 Crossan could be a decent player. You just never know which Crossan is going to turn up. He's an inside forward rather than a winger or an out and out striker. Best cutting in from his wing and running at the space between fullback and centre half. His final ball isnt good enough to be a winger and he doesnt score enough to be a striker. You're really looking for the fullback on his side to overlap and provide crosses because Crossan's final ball isnt the best. Also a confidence player - if he's playing well then do whatever you can to keep him doing so because when he's cold it takes a lot to get him on form again. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the snudge Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I didn't particularly rate Crossan but as Jan said, injuries maybe stopped him hitting top gear for us. All the best to him at Forfar 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Moonster Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 He'll do well in League 2 if he stays fit. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
O'Kelly Isley III Posted May 28, 2021 Share Posted May 28, 2021 I agree with all of the above, and I think that League 2 might suit him to get a full season under his belt. For a lot of his time at Dumbarton I associated PJ with the website telling me he was unavailable to play - ditto Nat Wedderburn. As Jan says there is a footballer in there, but he needs to develop some consistency; he reminded me a bit of Tom Walsh in that regard. In wider terms of departures, McGeever, Neill and Wardrop were really the only guys I was happy to remain, so I'm happy to see big Ryan re-sign. And no, I haven't missed Rico, I think he regressed quite a lot this season. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard more than a few say that Faz is the best coach they've worked under and I think with a season of good coaching he could improve. It was clear Duffy coached him the basics, win the ball, clear the danger, but he's capable of more than that. His defending of back post crosses is criminal though. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
