Aaron Cresswell admits he’d been surprised by the team’s dreadful start to the season but is certain things are about to pick up as the squad look up the table.
Cressie is poised to make hs comeback appearance at Selhurst Park at the weekend and is ready to see a change of fortunes.
Asked if the start had surprised him he said: ‘Yes it has. Even in pre-season we didn’t have good results in the Europa League but we still have a strong squad, the same team and the same manager
‘No one expected it to be like this. Everyone thought we were going to be, not challenging for the title, but certainly up there and having a right good go. It’s still early doors but we want to try and turn it round and get further up that table.
‘Once everybody is fit the gaffer will have a headache picking the starting XI but I’m sure he will welcome that. The spirit hasn’t changed but it just hasn’t happened on the pitch… I’m sure we’re going to push further up that table.’
