Cress talks of Iron who has “The Knack”

Many words have been spilled on how and why Tomas Soucek scores so many goals from a defensive midfield position and there are some very articulate answers provided.

Aaron Cresswell, however, has a habit of putting things very simply and sums it up with his verdict on the goal that beat Everton at Goodison Park.

He simply believes the guy has the knack of being in the right place at the time, even for crosses and balls in that manage to take a massive declaration as was the case at Everton.

There’s a bit more to it than that for sure ceaseless running and looking for goalscoring positions is chief among them.

Given the work he gets through at the back and in breaking up attacks he wears me out just watching him.

And talking to www.whufc. com Cress explained his own and Tomas’ ‘link up’ which crffeated that winner.

Of the ball in which led to the strike he joked:  “I didn’t shoot, it was a great ball in by me!”

“Tomas has got a knack of being in the right place at the right time, and with five goals in his last ten games…. I’ve just watched it and how he’s anticipated the ball, with a slight deflection, and to have the composure to tap it in, it was a great finish.

“Late on, nothing better. 1-0, clean sheet, happy days!

“Obviously Everton hadn’t played since the 26 [December], but we didn’t want to dwell on that or look for any sort of excuse.

“I thought at times we could’ve been better with the ball, but over the 90 minutes we created much better chances than them and fully deserved the win.”

He’s loving the new spirit among the squad declaring:  “That’s what makes a good team: team spirit, working hard, and as long as the lads give everything they’ve got, I’m sure we’ll do well this season.

“The fitness levels are credit to [fitness coaches] Dave Billows and Josh Ewens, who work really hard with us. Certainly over the last few weeks, recovery has been massive.

“To play three games over six days – and not only that, but also travelling down south and up north – is a credit to the lads and we’ve had some fantastic results looking back.

“We’re nearly halfway through the season. If we can go under the radar and keep going about our work the way we have, it’ll be good for us, but we know throughout the course of the season we’re not going to win every game against every single team, week in, week out.

“Hopefully we can all help each other out, hang in there and all this will blow over and we’ll get stadiums full again. That’s what we want.

“We want to play. Until we get told we can’t play any more, we’re going to continue to try to put smiles on faces.”
