Ambitious Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 According to the statistics (whoscored) I have been his biggest critic at times but his improvement under Mac has been incredible - it's nice to see the stats playing in his favour. Ward and Bryson also make the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpha Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Low pass percentage though. But most our attacks come down his side and he has a healthy number of assists. He also is fairly solid and reliable in defence now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is ok for the rest of this season and could be part of a promotion winning team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Duracell Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Think this proves that whoscored doesn't always give you the full picture, as much as anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamNut Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 Cresswell is probably the best left back in this division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrivateDerby Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 All we ask is that he keeps the crosses low. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No but it can certainly back some stuff up. But yeah, a lot of 'ratings' on different sources are inflated by 'assists' but we know an assist is just the last man to touch it before the scorer. Also having a pass accuracy of 90% sounds great but where are you passing? Savage had like 88% or something stupid in one season. It's good though. I went to see how Forsyth's hoofing had effected his pass rating and his long ball and short passing stats do back the hoofer theory up. Martin has a low pass rating but obviously most his passes are intended as final balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This whoscored website is absolutely brilliant, really is the best new football site I've been introduced to for quite a while. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mafiabob Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 I would rather have Mo Camara. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eddie Posted December 30, 2013 Share Posted December 30, 2013 There were two occasions yesterday when he was brilliantly played in behind Baaarnsley's defence (once by Bucko, once by Russell iirc) - and he trapped the ball further than Sammon does on a bad day. On both occasions, out for a goal kick. Saying that, he did his main job well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does have a couple of moments per game where he reminds you he's not Bobby Carlos... other than that, he's a hero is our Brucie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
