The loan would have been the best situation for him, he needs to be playing and I am sure Neal Ardley will be contemplating how Tom Crawford may feature in the squad.

I thought he looked good early on, I was surprised he didn't get more time to feature.

I am sure he will next season.

I am sceptical of the club right now, I think he will be a wasted prospect and go on to do well elsewhere.

I don't see it if I am perfectly honest, Notts tends to go for experience in the middle of the park and although he has this level. I don't think he would work well with what we have.

He's got to be in and around the first team, he looks like a player that will improve and become the type of quality that Notts has missed.

Mixed of views thrown into this discussion, interesting to see that the majority favour Tom Crawford to play or to be given a chance.

I think he will, he's caught the attention of the club now and if not, he will move onto better things.

Hopefully Neal Ardkey sees sense and finds someone like Jim O'Brien to go alongside him.

The loan spell should help, confidence and regularly playing are two important parts of football. That and enjoying it, its down to whoever the manager is to get the best out of him.

Neal Ardley should be looking at people like Tom Crawford and thinking how to bring his ability into the tactics.
