Not awoke
Anyone heard how his recovery from injury is going ?

No. He was never going to be back for this season, but given it was the beginning of October that he picked it up, standard recoveries for ACL suggest that he ought to be back for pre-season.
Why is it that our best/most desired players this season are the ones that are out injured?

Spoke to Guy Butters who had seen him, and Crofty said he's taking it much slower this time around to ensure he is absolutely right and strong enough to resume his career.
In terms of this type of injury, if it went again it would be difficult to see him coming back again.

As much as I will be happy to see him back in the squad an fit again, he is not going to help us become a more creative side or score more goals sadly
True, but we are void of leaders, so he would help from that perspective.

I spoke to him at the sponsors dinner. He said he is happy with his recovery and it seems to have healed better than the previous one.

Is he optimistic about coming back as he was, taking into account he didnt appear the same player after the first injury and prior to this one he wasnt lifting any trees with his performances and to be perfectly honest was struggling in comparison to previous times.up

Yes he is optimistic.

I hope so because if he was back to his Norwich form he would be a god send but I do not have that same confidence about his recovery, but he must know better than anybody how it is going
I think its a bit unfair to say that Crofts wouldn't contribute to goals. At his best he would make an indirect difference to the scoring record of the current team. After his first injury he took a while to get going. However his performances,strength and fitness were improving before the second injury. However it happening twice is now a real worry. Let's hope he can recover.

His dynamism is key, but so is his goal contribution. The question is whether any impact on the former affects the latter. I suspect it will, but it's just a suspicion.
Given how few goals we currently score, I reckon my cocker spaniel could help, and Crofts does actually score a few.

Back to his Norwich form?, l don't know that he was that brilliant while he was there. Much better when playing for us before his move l think.

That was in the Premier so should be a revelation in the Championship again.

True, although as much as l like him as a player, l don't think he ever achieved his true potential there.

Maybe the step up was just that bit too much after his displays for us before being sold.

I remember seeing him score a couple of crackers in a game for norwich in the Prem (I think).
Not really. He scores 3/4 goals a season on average. He's not a big goal scoring midfielder by any stretch of the imagination. I think some of his goals have just been memorable (vs Saints, last minute winners/equalisers) so people remember him scoring a lot more than he does.
