    Glen’s marks. 7 for Ng and Nelson <doh>
    6 for Vaulks and Bacuna.<doh> 2-3 would be generous.
    Mind you he gave 8 to Harris Colwill and Moore so he is not that clueless.

    Good to see three current Wales footballers hitting the target! :emoticon-0103-cool: When Masky meets up with Minxy, always hits the target!

    Okay guys, brilliant comeback which could even have turned a draw into a win.

    I don't know what Morison said or did at halftime but apart from the first minute of the second half it clearly worked. Wonder what went in the half time drinks........

    However, the brilliant comeback cannot paper over the deficiencies of the first half which, according to reports, was as bad as previous games.

    We're the set up and tactics changed second half or did we just go up a gear or 2 and find some form? Or were Stoke just crap?

    Pack Will be available for the QPR game on Wednesday. Should he return in place of Vaulks or Bacuna? Anyone else due back, Ralls, Bowen or Sang? If so, would you start any of those and if so who would they replace?

    I would never pick Vaulks period. He is a limited footballer. His only virtue was I thought his ability to score from distance. I can’t recall one shot from him this season.
    His long throws are not even any good.
    He misses tackles, he fails to control simple passes and his first reaction when on the ball is to panic and pass it backwards or sideways.
    Bacuna is slightly better but that just means he’s average.
    I wouldn’t have either in my team if possible

    For me it comes down to formation.
    We need a DM in the side. Possibly 1 if playing 5 at the back, 2 if playing 4 or 3.
    Also need someone in the middle who can play forward.
    4231 play Pack with Ralls.
    4141 pack.
    541 pack and one of the attacking young guns.
    343 or 352, who knows.
    Need to settle on a formation sharpish.

    A lack of choice is the problem. For me Pack (despite some limitations, no doubt over his commitment and influence) and Ralls, if available should start but then the youngsters, Brown, King and maybe Sang get thrown in the deepend.

    Looking at his performances at Blackpool, seems it was a mistake to loan out Wintle. Mick pressed the panic button too early. Get him back in January.

    I tell you what Robbie. Instead of us gifting you the points, have 6 from the next two games. Don't know who they're against but you'll have our support and best wishes <whistle>

    Agree with all of that except Brown whom to me is not a midfielder but at best a CB

    Kept head below parapet since the game yesterday, but I reckon we're back on course for a top 6 finish.
