To watch RC 'try' against much much better Prem players is totally fucking embarrassing. If I was him I would feel dejected, traipsing back down the pitch in the wake of the full-back that's just taken me out of the game like a piece of piss. I actually think Cressers was getting very frustrated with the situation himself during the second half on Saturday. He's a professional though, and he's not going to ask the manager to drop him is he?

No Dave, not when he's picking up £3k appearance money.
He's a game tryer and that's it. For Pulis to keep playing him says more about Pulis that it ever will say about RC.
But we've been here before though haven't we. How many times has he played Pericard when everyone can see he simply isn't good enough. If Pulis does have a major flaw then it is his stubborness, I fully expect him to keep playing RC irresepective of whether he scores or not. If he does score I fully expect some quip justifying his decision to keep playing him.

he played well - imho - as the second striker (notably not alongside Ric - a pairing that didnt work at PNE & doesnt work here,no criticsim of either player just how it goes) in the home games v WBA & Liverpool
other than that he has been annonymous at best
for Pompey we have Liam,Tongue,Pugh who can all play in the wide postitions & we have 4 strikers (assuming Mama is back) who are better/miles better options.
he shouldnt be playing then really.

TP picks the team and therefore is to blame not richard cresswell. cressie does give 100% but Liam Lawrence should be playing ahead of him any day. whatever personal issues Pulis has need 2 be sorted 4 the interest of the team! however, i do think some fans go a little over the top slating cresswell. also, if not giving '110%' was the reason for certain players not being selected, why is is that ricky fuller starts week in week out?

We all know that the guy cant cut it at this level but if TP picks him i'll be backing him all the way, people should get off the lads back because the daily cresswell threads are doing fuck all to help the club stay up as well as being totally boring.

What a daft thing to say - none of the threads on this board are going to help the club stay up - shall we just stop posting at all? This is an SCFC message board & Cresswell (unfortunately) plays for SCFC. If the Cresswell threads bore you, don't open them....

I thank the bloke for helping us to get promoted, but I wish I would never have to see him in a Stoke shirt again, unless he gets the job as Pottermuss.

vern is spot on. the threads get boring when all it is, is critiscism of cresswell. TP picks the team, all we can do is get behind them!

You just keep happy clapping then boothenboy, and leave the discussion to the grown ups.
As said before this is a forum about SCFC and the right place for criticism; matchdays no-one is booing Cresswell or anything and so long as people moan on here and not at the Brit, then everything is as it should be.

H Cresswell 4 Pottermuss ;D I would be happy with that!....think he would make a great Pottermus....committed, 'ard working, covering every blade of a grass on the flanks. Just as much chance of him scoring from there as well!!

10 starts for Cresswell 0 goals 0 assists 8 losses, 2 draws, 1 win (which you forgot to mention v WBA) If this is how we will be assessing our players now then how about this for a comparison... 10 starts for Whelan (in the league) 0 goals 0 assists 7 losses, 2 draws, 1 win (in which Creswell played 45mins) Surely Whelan's stats should be better, yet there is no mass histeria every time he is picked to play. I like Whelan, I'm not suggesting he's shite, but the stick the Cresswell is getting on here is over the top, he's becoming a scapegoat! Looking at the stats between the two players I would say a lot of that stick in a bit harsh. He is not the reason we are losing games!

Did Whelan take the free-kick in injury time at Newcastle which Faye equalised?
Can Whelan pass a ball to a red shirt?
I know what your saying but the two midfielders whoever they are,are told to sit and not bomb on thats why we will not see any shots as such from Whelan who we all know can shoot from distance unlike Diao who thinks he can.
But outwide thats our MAJOR only threats to create for Beattie Fuller etc etc like Ethers did v Man Shitty and Rorys throws and his winning goal v Spurs coming in from the wing but what does Cresswell actually bring in creativity? Shots? Assists? Goals?....NOTHING AT ALL.

Shots? Assists? Goals?....NOTHING AT ALL. Not sure if Whelan took the free kick, but it definitely wasn't his assist, it was Higgys, and Whelan didn't start that game. So your saying Creswell can't pass a football now, come on! When Creswell plays, he is told to play a different role to the likes of Ethers, you can't compare the two. Ethers can carry the ball at pace & take people on, Creswell can hold it up but he needs someone to support him so he can pass the ball (ie an advancing midfielder). The wings can be a major threat as you say, but only since Etherington signed! You can't count Delaps throws in the same context, and the goal v spurs came from Mama doing only what Mama is capable of (he was actually out of position at the time). Crewell is in there to break up play & get in peoples faces. Your right, he should be getting forward more, but i strongly believe that so should at least half of our midfield! I think Creswell can get forward tho, the overhead kick against Sunderland was a great effort and he was unlucky not to score.

My point was that if people want to gripe, then here is where it should be and not at the ground on matchday. As for smoking something funny in my pipe, well, chance would be a fine thing, it's as dry as a fucking bone round here! ;D

Cresswell despite being wank get played again and again and again yet Kitson is getting splinters on his backside. Cresswell cost us the victory today for not marking the bloke he scored. He didn' fookin run a lot today. I'm sick and tired of it now.

Portsmouth must have been pissing themselves when they saw him coming on, instead of someone like Camera who, believe it or not, may well have taken the game to Pompey.
Put 10 men in the box and then cry when it takes a deflection. Every other team in the Prem when holidng onto a one goal lead will be slightly more cautious but not invite a fucking onslaught against a very poor team.
