brian_a_mul added 16:24 - Mar 26 Congratulations Cressy, thats an excellent achievement. It is obvious that he is very highly rated by other clubs and managers in the football league. Again its mostly attacking players that make these lists so for a LB to make it is awesome. More $$ to his value! lol Well done again

TractorCam added 16:30 - Mar 26 Congratulations Cressy, excellent achievement. In my opinion his form has dipped a bit recently, so hopefully this will boost him

TractorCam added 16:31 - Mar 26 How on earth did Nugent take 5th?

Axeldalai_lama added 16:40 - Mar 26 TractorCam: At a guess It'd probably be his 17 league goals and Leicester being top of the league all season.

50yearsablue added 16:40 - Mar 26 Because they vote so early in the New Year, I suspect this was done before he went off the boil. Well done anyway but if it was done now I think Berra might be in with a shout

monty_radio added 16:55 - Mar 26 How do Nugent take 5th, Tractor Cam? Because he's very good. Seen him two years running v Town at the King Power - ran at us at will, disposed of the ball at leisure.

BillBlue added 17:23 - Mar 26 Congratulations Cressy, very good for a guy who doesn't play up front and score lots of goals. Well done, proud of you.

TractorCam added 17:39 - Mar 26 Half of Nugent's goals this season have been from the spot

Jimmy86 added 18:00 - Mar 26 Know he is injured now but cant believe didz didnt make the list!!!

Superblue95 added 18:19 - Mar 26 One of only 2 defenders on the list so fair play Cressie. Good achievement to have one of our players on the list ahead of any player from the teams who came down this season!

GerkensBeard added 18:19 - Mar 26 Well done cressy fully deserved without a doubt the championships best LB. And to people who think he has gone off the boil... Well he hasn't. Early on in the season he was given far to much time to produce the quality that he can down that left flank, as soon as he was seen as a threat he rarely has much time on the ball out on the left. And even when he hasn't been assisting hes been brilliant defending. For me the most reliable player at ITFC where if he isn't creating/assisting he's very solid at the back.

blueboy1981 added 18:23 - Mar 26 Cresswel is a competant player - but has his shortfalls, and is anything but the finished article. Not surprised he didn't finish higher because he would not be every Managers immediate choice - all this talk of every Club in the Country wanting him didn't / hasn't materialised yet, and all that 'hype' didn't help him one bit in my opinion. A promising player - very much a 'work in progress' - who can, and will, get better. No more - no less.

Len_Brennan added 18:47 - Mar 26 Cressy is a fine player & will probably be playing Premiership football next season, but I would have him behind Berra, McGoldrick, Smith & Skuse for us this season, no mind being top 9 in the whole of the Championship. Berra has been immense all season & gotten even better over the last couple of months.

Michael11 added 18:55 - Mar 26 Congrats Cressy. As someone mentioned, if he feels it's time to move on then hopefully that will add some pennies to his value. He would be very hard to replace though as he's so important in attack as well as defence.

chorltonskylineblue added 20:20 - Mar 26 99th please. Don't want to alert those Premiership clubs of his ability. Although I suspect we'll find it hard to hold on to him beyond this season unless we go up.

TimmyH added 21:04 - Mar 26 Really surprised either Berra or McGoldrick isn't ahead of him and maybe even Smith, agree with Ings as the Number 1. anybody who saw the game against Blackburn just showed what he's all about - work rate and goals!

HALLSJ added 13:04 - Mar 27 Great signing, well done Cressy

runningout added 19:00 - Mar 27 Nugent deserves his place. McGoldrick may have nicked the number 10 slot if he'd not been injured..
