If we played him in the middle I think he'd be nailed on for 15-20 goals. If Mamma doesn't pull his finger out soon Cresswell may find himself there permenantly!? |

I don't think he would suit Fuller all that well and he doesn't look that comfortable on the left. That said, its working, so you have to go with it. Who else can you moan about Smudge on the front cover with your Pulis digs? It certainly worked for left back Pugh and left winger Cresswell.  |

Pulis is next for sticking an injured Stephen Wright in the team last week instead of Wilko or Zak. What happens next? The injured Wright goes off, er, injured, Wilko gets injured at Sheff United, Zak probably has to play centre half on Saturday and now we're stuck for a right back in a game against the top of the table team. Nice one Tone.  |

I knew that Smudge I just wanted you to confirm it. You do well to keep your supportive stance given those that surround you at the game.  |

Did Fuller and Cresswell play many games upfront together at Preston? And did they score many?
I'd love to check, but I simply don't have the time or effort.
Come on you lazy barstewards, someone get onto google.

No hating at all Merk, is the bloke untouchable and beyond all reasonable criticism now?
The recent run has been excellent and it was a great night at Sheffield, but TP dropped a clanger by playing Wright who was a major doubt in the days leading up to the game against Norwich.
I wouldn't have minded so much had we been down to the bare bones against Norwich, but as they proved on Tuesday, Wilko and Zak are more than capable of coming in at right back and putting in an effective performance. His decision to play Wright was all the more baffling when you consider that he was up against Huckerby.
We've got a really important game coming up against Watford which could be a pivotal moment in our season and we're now scraping around for a right back when it needn't have been the case.
TP oftens makes a case about things being difficult because we have a small squad, but when he makes decisions like that he doesn't really help himself does he?

Well that's good news if he is, but it still doesn't alter the fact that TP was wrong to start him against Norwich.

Did Wright have a fitness test before Norwich? If he did and passed, the player and the Physio are as much to blame as anyone as he was obviously crippled. This is not rimming for rimming’s sake but I would have thought any manager is informed if the player is available for selection or not by the experts and the player. No?

He had a pain killer injection, and he did more damage when tracking back by the looks of it.

Absolutely Momo- if a player is declared fit then surely the manager will select him if wanted
Nothing unusual about players having pain -killing injections etc- easy to be a wise-ass after the event of course

Davef
It isn't so black and white.
As a manager, you have to take risks - sometimes they work and sometimes they don't.
Your criticisms would be taken more seriously if you posted positive stuff about Pulis first...but you don't.
You hate him and this affects your brain and rational thought.

And you are so quick to label anyone who dares question the smallest thing TP does as "a hater" that rational debate has gone out of the window, Merk.
Like you say, all managers take risks, and TP isn't the only one who'll wheel out a player when he clearly isn't up to the task, but he (and the rest of them) can have no complaints when he's struggling for players if he's so prepared to run those risks.
Like I said, it wasn't as if we were struggling in that department.

I don't think he would suit Fuller all that well Talking of brains and rational thinking would you care to look at their record together at Preston, you football know-nowt?  Incidental Wright had been ruled out of the side as early as Wednesday and to play him was considered by the medical team an extreme risk. Now any manager is entitled to take a risk but when it backfires, costs you a goal as it did and wastes a substitution then supporters are equally entitled to remark on a bad call. It is called being an objective supporter Merk rather than an apologist. You will get to grips with the concept once you let your pretence slip, mate.  |

The Preston fan that came on here said they didn't do very well together. He said that Cresswell didn't score all that much when they were partnered. Maybe he's wrong.
Maybe they would be a good pair in a team that wasn't as direct as ours. We can't afford to be anything but with our central midfield.

Didn't we have Preston fans on here saying that Fuller and Cresswell didn't work too well together up front and that Fuller's most successful goalscoring season at Deepdale coincided with Cresswell being mostly deployed on - gasp! - the left wing?

No chance rvd
That would mean that a Preston fan knew more about his own team and a football manager knowing more about managing a football team than Wolstanton does.
Highly unlikely.

Highly unlikely. ;D never has a truer word been said MCF. Although he was once wrong about Clint Hill playing left back a few weeks ago, although he denied it afterwards. |
