Cresswell the new Mohsni?

[rowe23]

Is Sturrock trying to convert Cresswell into the new Mohsni? by that i mean our go to guy for target man? if so do you think he will have the same impact?

 

[Ayrshire Blue]

He's not doing a bad job so far.

 

[undercovershrimper]

Think its a make do for not having BBBC around

"He's a centre back Sturrock"

GOOOOAAAAAALLLLLLLLLLL

 

[Silencer]

I questioned the decision, but fair play to PS....it paid off.

Think we lack that 'proper' target man though and we also a lot of creativity from central and wide midfield, but back to the thread and big Cresswell saw us through to the next round which allows us to dream of WEM-BER-LEE this evening

 

[Angell Delight]

Is Cresswell the new Mohsni? Possibly yes, but without all the bull**** we had to put up with from the mad Frenchman.....

Good riddance Bilel, arise Sir Ryan! :thumbsup:

 

[OldBlueLady]

No, Cresswell is nothing like Mohsni. He is just a CB who is able to be thrown up top to make a difference especially amongst a physical defence. I don't remember Mohsni being especially good at playing strong defenders, he'd normally go for the foul and whine theatrically to the ref, then sulk if it wasn't given.

They both win a lot in the air and give us a plan B. That'll do.

Cresswell is a leader , Moshni is a Maverick

 

[Onion_Bag_Dave]

A more controlled Mohsni.

Sturrock has converted several centre-halfs into strikers over his managerial career. I know Cress has said that he used to play up front when he was coming throughnthe youth teams but I do wonder if this will be something that we end up seeing as more than just being 'Plan B'.

i like cresswell alot...typical L2 central defender...big, strong in the air and doesn't mind putting his foot in when needed. this league is not about being pretty at the back so this has been a great signing from sturrock and I can see him becoming a firm fans favourite over the rest of the season

I dont mind him being pushed up at the end of a game we are chasing , not sure Id want him up there more than that.

 

[Shrimper2thecore]

Simply no. He is not trying to convert him into anything, the lad used to play upfront.

 

[rlb999]

A poor man's Mohsni, but a far better professional.

 

[hockleyeast1964]

I'd liken him to paul warhurst same type of player.

 

[EastStandBlue]

I wouldn't have thought so, he's too important to our defensive line to convert into a centre-forward. He's a great option to throw forward if we're searching for a goal and is definitely a threat from set-pieces, much like Coughlan was under Luggy at Plymouth, but the new Mohsni? No.

Might be best to keep him away from Ben Chorley though. Just in case.

 

[Clinton Baptiste]

Yep set pieces could be very fruitful with Cress and Phillips both going up. Just have to ensure the delivery is good with Hall gone/going. Was impressed with Hursts corners on saturday before he went off.

 

[Prawn]

Mohsni likes trains, Cresswell Dosen't!

Agreed
Thought he went for the 'option' far too soon against Accrington , which smacked of desperation.
In general I'm against the idea for the above reason , but it's worked twice already so I'm sure it will continue.
