Town boss Mick McCarthy believes left-back Aaron Cresswell has made improvements to his game this season. The 23-year-old picked up three assists in addition to his goal during Tuesday’s remarkable 4-4 draw at Derby.
The Blues boss says he has spent time working with the former Tranmere man: "They were great deliveries. He’s got such a good left foot. I’m constantly harping on to him about delivery, delivery, delivery.
"He doesn’t just try and put crosses in from anywhere, he’s been more considered and is working hard, and his deliveries have been good.”
He says there’s always a chance of scoring from quality balls into the box: "We worked on him putting corners in and a bit of movement from the lads going in. If you get a delivery in, you can score off of them.”
Cresswell, who McCarthy has previously said is the best left-back in the division, was linked with numerous Premier League sides during the summer but with none of them firming up their interest.
The Liverpudlian is contracted to Town until June 2015 with the option of a further season.
