Stoke City striker Peter Crouch has revealed that the entire playing squad are frustrated with the team's recent form.

The Potters were booed off by some of their own supporters following Saturday's 1-0 defeat at home to West Ham United.

However, having won just one of their last nine Premier League encounters, Crouch has insisted that his teammates are as disappointed as the fans.

"I know the fans are frustrated, but no-one is more frustrated than the players going into work on a Monday," he is quoted as saying by The Sentinel. "It's not a nice place to be when you've just lost, especially at home. We have to address that and give everything in our remaining games."

Next up for Stoke is a trip to Newcastle United on Saturday afternoon.
