On bus. Apologies for typos. So poor. Just so poor. Now beating 10 mins not a given. One of Jose Morinho's wise stings was that 10 men are hard to beat. Especially when those 10 are the big ugly brutes that comprise the Stoke FC! We go to half time looking comfortable and perhaps having tired them a little. Sure enough we start the 2nd half with energy and a bit more going forward but so little link up, give and go and no shots with any chance of going in. BOS certainly.gave them.somthing to worry about but they bad done their homework and there were always two Neanderthals on him. Cue Hall's red card and there s only one team that now lools like scoring and it wasn't us. I was expecting the QPR sucker punch at 92 mins so grateful to survive that I suppose. In truth if it had not been for their red I think we would have lost so although it feels like 2 pts dropped it was probably 1 gained. Brentford win again.
really gutted because all season they have been crap and in the last 5 games they have managed to sneak late goals. They won't go down now as the bottom 3 are rubbish. What worries me most is that we will have to play the fakes again next year and they will steal more of our chants.
Two things 1. I thought we had already established last October that we do not have the ability/players to play 4-4-2. Our up turn in form coincided with dropping this system. It is not possible to play Wells and Hemed together 2. We have no one who can score goals. 3. We can never beat a team with only 10 players...ever ... historical fact! 4. I agree with who ever said that actually we would have lost that if they had played with 11. So that is probably a point gained And yes I know that is 4 things!. Point 5 ...I can't count..

With little "link up", you'd think the game was crying out for Eze. He seems completely out of favour and Steve seems to be going back to the crap 4-4-2. **** eh?
I can't remember another of our matches this season with so many misplaced passes We were unbelievably poor today, playing slow, indecisive football against 10 men I don't think that anyone rated more than 5/10 - maybe Lumley but only because he had so little to do Urgently need 3 points on Wednesday
It's the same problem week after week 'misplaced passes'. Our team are actually quite poor in quality. Players like Freeman put a spark into an average lot. What worries me more is that we should have been building on earlier performances instead of going backwards. Thank **** we got some points on the board in Oct/Nov/Dec otherwise we would be in big trouble. What is it with MaClaren? Why can't he manage to keep a bit of momentum going? He is the ex England coach FFS! Surely he can manage to get winning formula at some point? Really not happy with his management at the moment... he needs to sort it out.
Well that was horrible again, tramore mentioned ikea and that’s us, sort of alright but cheap with bits missing. I counted 8 attempts at 30/40 yards cross pitch passes that failed. Stoke still smell of Pulis
I only saw it from the other end of the pitch, but I thought it was somewhat "necessary" as the forward was going passed him.. But as said I was a long way away and at wrong angle Sent from my STF-L09 using Tapatalk
