I'm pretty sure when Jones finally started to play well for Stoke he was dropped for Crouch. When Joselu started to score a few and get some assists he was dropped for Crouch, can at some point probably say Diouf was dropped for him when he was playing well.
There could well be an argument to have that some of our poor/stale spells were when Crouch was a regular starter. I'm not saying he's a bad player as you don't have his footballing history if you are. It's just he has never been suited to our setups and we generally have to sacrifice for him.

Kenwynne got 9 the season before Crouchy signed.....the next 2 seasons Kenwynne played over 20 games in each season and scored just 1 one season and 3 the next (11 in all competitions over those 2 seasons). Crouch got 17 over that time (22 in all competitions over those 2 seasons). hardly as if KJ was dropped while he was still banging them in really i.e. Kenwynne had plenty of gametime but wasn't scoring, Crouch was. Hardly stale spells by Crouch as he scored more than Kenwynne ever had for us. Diouf and Crouch played about the same amount of games in Diouf's first year here but later Diouf got shifted out wide due to injuries rather than being dropped for Crouch...Diouf scored 11, Crouch scored 8...hardly stale spells as it was largely those 2 scoring our goals between them.
