Cress gave a great centre forwards display today, we didn't really create any chances apart from the goal but he worked really hard, chased lost causes and had a big hand in the goal by winning yet another lost cause, making sure it stuck and then playing it wide.
He's never a midfielder but he is a useful lad to have around the squad.
Well played Cress.

No complaints today, looked better up front than out wide (no surprise), you can see why Pulis likes him so much.

He's not really Premiership standard in any position, but he can at least do a job up front if we're short of numbers, and he certainly did that today.
He's never been a left winger, despite TP's obsession with playing him there, and that strange little foible of TP's was exposed for the lunacy that it is, not only in Cresswell's much improved performance up front, but in Tonge's very useful showing on the left.
Square pegs being rammed into round holes is never going to work, and after such an astronomical spending spree by Stoke-standards, there's no excuse for it either. TP has to be fair to the likes of Cressy by not forcing him to play a role he's unsuited to, and resultantly getting frustrated fans on the lad's back...he should be used as a striker, and ONLY as a striker, and he'll still be able to play his part in our season.

Trouserdog praises Cresswell shocker... Are you OK? I am coming down with a bit of a cold, but I'm not feverish.  To be honest I've never had anything against Cressy as a striker, he's just a bit unfortunate to be the bloke at the centre of one of the most mystifying tactical obsessions I've ever seen from any Stoke manager. (It's not quite up there with Gudjon's 5-3-2, but it's not far off) As a stand-in striker Cressy's worth keeping onboard...at least for this season. As a left winger though, he's about as much use as Donald Duck. |

I find some of the mild critiscism of Cress absolutely amazing to be honest.
The original 'great pro' and led the leine superbly today. His little piece of work setting up the overlap for the goal was excellent and I felt he held the ball up and bought us time superbly in the second half.
If that's 'not doing owt' then I'll have a few more performances like that please Richard.
Premiership standard he may not be, but I'll always have tons of time for this bloke who plays as if he's one of us!

Ran every ball down today. Didn't give any of them time to play the ball, including Carson, they had to hoof it away. Thought he had a very good game.

Looked much sharper in his natural position
His running off the ball was there to see as soon as he came on, and for me he did a great job today
If Kitsons injury is a bad one, then we are very short of strikers which is rather worrying, but the upside is that come January we certainly wont be detached at the bottom like a team I could mention from last season, so there is hope that we CAN attract a couple of decent players in the window

I think creswell is the new Andy Cooke. Worked his cock off, gave every ounce of effort in his body for the cause but unfortunately, very unfortunately he's just not good enough.
I'd keep him for the rest of the season then show our thanks of two very good seasons out of him by granting him a free transfer. With players showing the attitude like Cresser we'll be fine come May.

Looked miles better up front.Worked his socks off and showed a bit of quality at times.
If he had some pace who knows what he could do.

cressy did well today. the team was set up to kitsons strengths, but when he limped off cressy came on and did the 'fuller role'. fair enough hes not as good as fuller, but calling him a league 1 player is unfair!!

I'm not his biggest fan, but I think he did really well today, and in particular, linked up with Tonge very well.

The last few times that Cresswell has been brought on as a sub on the left wing my heart has sunk. But, today, total credit to the man. I think he has a rare gift that our other players do not have, he finds space off the ball. I also think that he reads Mama's headers better than Fuller or Kitson. Well done Cressy you were a very important part of our win today.

cressy was excellent i was pleased for him as he always works his bolloxs off for the team. Would be interesting to actually know how far he ran i dont think i saw him stop

No way a Premiership player but you couldnt fault his effort though bear in mind it was a poor West Brom

Well Fuller stated when we signed Cresser that he was the best partner he'd ever had. Can people see why after today.
He gave a hard working performance today but I feel to say he reads Mama's flick on's better than Ric is a bit OTT.
