Garth Crooks’ team of the week is strangely…sensible

After some ridiculously attacking efforts of late, we wondered where Garth Crooks could go from here.

Following his recent decision to all but forgo a midfield, questions were asked about what the former Spurs striker might do next. A back two? A striker in goal? Somehow it was something even more unexpected - an orthodox 4-2-3-1 with all the players in their natural positions. We know, we were surprised too. https://twitter.com/TMortimerFtbl/status/656061426373562369 There was no way he could leave out Newcastle midfielder and fantasy league saviour Gini Wijnaldum, while a second goal in as many games for West Ham's Carl Jenkinson guaranteed his spot in the team. But three defenders who didn't get on the scoresheet, and just one out-and-out striker? What's happened, Garth? We thought we knew you.
