I suspect the more pace we place around Cripps the less of a problem Cripps will become.
Diesel spent his career surrounded by the small fast runners that could leave the stoppage after he fed them the pill. If Diesel had to also run and carry all the time he would have been far less effective.
Our problem is that our midfield is over stocked with players who like Cripps have medium to slow acceleration, average agility and average top pace. Get a few rundown types in their around Cripps and it will all change.
Plus, ever since Judd arrived we've had this sacrificial midfielder game plan, where Cripps or whoever is meant to dominate the stoppage and feed the ball out for the players around him. But in my opinion that only worked with Judd for Judd because he had Cripps inside ball winning ability combined with the most powerful acceleration in the league.
Nthmond's hive mind approach works far better, where they swarm in both directions, but you still need some extreme pace.
Voss was a similar type to Judd, swift and immensely powerful, hopefully he recognises the problem.
