I never heard any boo's in or around block 30 but a fair few heads looked ground-wards when his number appeared on the board. Some tit in block 30 said Pulis your a fucking joke. So I turned round and gave him a mouthful.

I dislike Cresswell quite a bit too, but to boo your own player at a live event is just tacky and shows you don't really give a shit about your team. Groan and boo all you want at home or on these boards, but get an effin clue when you're at the stadium. Seriously pisses me off when people do that.

Seriously why should the paying client accept inferior goods time after time? If you bought something from a shop that was crap and not fit for purpose you would show your displeasure and taking it back for exchange or demand your money back. Cresswell is way out of his depth and a manger on many £k a week and should know this and have alternaive options, some who boo are just showing their sheer frustration at what is coming. I suggest a banner "saying don't play Cresswell" or a fans electronic board that we can update via a palm top with hints at TP

Actually I did an ironic cheer, so on the slim chance he heard me, there's a slim chance he would have taken it well.

Should keep doing so as it may sink into Pulis's thick skull that HE IS WANK and not required in ANY situation. FACT!

I must admit to shouting something along the lines of, 'I say Mr Pulis I don't think you've done the right thing there' as did a few around me in the Seddon, but I heard no booing or abuse, more the sort of amused, over enthusiastic support like Boris Johnson got when he came on for England in that celebrity game.

The Hustler: Your Question "Why were people booing and shouting abuse at him?" Because they are complete an utter useless, ignorant wankers! these uteer useless ignorant wankers are probably st holders! so id say they have the right to voice their opinion! just for the record i didnt hear any booing, granted people were having a moan, but when their are better options available they are entitled to it

Who the hell was booing him?
I shouted abuse at him but I shout abuse at them all when the screw up. It was friendly advice though "screw Your fuckin head on yer big nosed cunt" was what I shouted. Fair I think after he lost the ball twice, once on our 18 yard line. It was just born out of frustration of a) seeing him on the pitch and b) being useless
He should never have come on in the first place bit like the Portsmouth game where a midfielder would have been a better choice to shut up shop.

No booing in Block 16. A Few "What the F.............." and "Oh bollocks" going on, but no booing.
What's the point?

I do agree we should not boo any of our own players but this was yet again another stupid use of arguably the worst player on our books. Olofinjana played as a second striker deep for Wolves in away games for years. You could have played him or brought Danny on who can tackle , can pass, can head, and can move before Cresswell and then brought on Tongue. Putting Cresswell on was a disaster and so it transpired with him losing possession constantly and wandering around like a headless chicken.
It is a real weakness of PUlis to constantly use him and not learn from the mistakes he made.
With regard to March 4 comments about him playing well against Man.u. and Chelsea I dont know which games he is talking about because he has been crap in avery game I have seen him in and in The Chelsea game at the Brit the full back he was supposed to be tracking opened the scoring. He cost us another 2 against Portsmouth giving Hreidarsson a free attmept at goal and I thought TP had learned his lesson but apparently not.

For what its worth I sit close to Pulis and told him he wanted his head examining. It did no good.

I don't think anyone was booing Cresswell, just a few heavy sighs The mood of the crowd changed when he came on, there was suddenly a tangible atmosphere of nervousness, and at that point the game turned on its head.
The problem is...he is incapable of holding the ball, therefore all forward movements bring down with him handing over the initiative to the oppositon. When he loses the ball he has no pace to get back, and when he does he just barges into opponents giving away free-kicks. Possession is key at this level, and even at 1-0 you need to maintain an attacking threat. We could not sustain that without Beattie and Etherington. But if we are going to sit back then better to introduce better defenders than poor attackers with no pace who cannot track back.

I do not believe cresswell is good enough to play in the premier league, however, pulis still persists with him and look where pulis has got us in the last year, he is doing everything in his power to keep this club in the premier league.
If cresswell come on, why not give him some support.... this might give him the confidence to up his game, whereas he has been unable to do so recently because every time he gets on the pitch the fans jeer, imagine what affect that has in the head of cresswell, and it send totally the wrong signals out to all the other players.
Come on stoke! we're suppost to be the best supporters in the league.. so where is this support to the players that need it?

Let me think, Oli or Pugh or Tonge or even the mother in law. He is so clearly out of his depth that he shouldn't of even been on the bench, as I can see no reason in which he should ever be needed. This isn't Cressy fault, and you can't knock the bloke after all he's done for us. Surely it's time for Pulis to give him a good bye hug and find him a club who will be grateful for his service?

Cresswell is doing his best and is working his socks off on the pitch. Unfortunately he's playing at least one division above his level and his limitations really shows. Despite of this I would never boo him. It does show the limitations of our squad as well: Other teams can substitute one premier league player with an other of the same caliber - we have to use players like Cresswell, Sonko and Pericant.

In the situation and with what pulis had avaliable all the subs he made were right except wilko shud have gone off earlier, saw man utd happening again. never right to boo no matter how bad the player is, at least cressie gives 100% and it needed someone to run around abit at that point, as beattie had one of his poorer games due to his head injury. the guy behind me is so arogant anythin pulis does is never right so he always gives it an earful...but then again he accused corluka of acting when he got nailed by gomes against spurs so ya no... people were also complaining about pugh coming on, but if they hadnt have scored a minute later then it wouldnt have been a bad sub, matty was tiring.

I must be going deaf. I didn't hear anyone booing Cresswell and I'm pretty sure if anyone did, they wouldn't have been booing him, they would have been directing their anger at Pulis for bringing him on. I wasn't too pleased, but once he was on, I was urging him to do well. Unfortunately, he did what I thought he would do...nowt because he's out of his depth in this league. OS. Me neither... Lot of hot air about nothing!!

I'd of gone 4-5-1. As for aggressive, are you saying that Tonge isn't as aggressive as Richard The Rottweiler Cresswell? ???

People who boo Creswell are very simple individuals. I'd expand on this and go into great detail about just how stupid it is. I just can't be arsed. It's just fucking moronic.

As a confirmed shoe starer and mumbler of despairing discontent whenever I see Cressy being readied for action, I find myself wondering if Henri Camera is still alive and if he is, why on earth did we bring him to the club?

Apparently he's injured but I have this suspicion that his absence is related to the mysterious trip to Senegal, which I can't help but connect to his AWOLing at Celtic and Wolves.

no booing in 23, but i was grumbling to myself! Proved right as well, as we never looked the same from that point on and didn't retain the ball as well. I've liked Cresswell, but think he's not up to this level. I think Pulis knows this which is why he has invented the position of "defencive forward" which he now seems to play at the end of games! Need a deeper quatlity squad next season to be comfortable!
