Cripps demands an opponent.
Nick Graham doesnt. They will simply park someone on the next best midfielder (hypothetically Fisher).
No Cripps, means an additional decrease in output from at least one other midfielder (Fisher) and another samish performance from lets say Paddy Dow.
Cripps often gets an opponent at the stoppage then after that the opposing teams have an opponent running off him looking to exploit his lack of pace.....the opponent can often
be a different player.
