Match Day Thread Stoke v Hull City

[frankbanksneck]

Relegation worries now replaced by optimism.

We are an established Championship team.

The future is Black and Amber.


Allam’s GONE.

That's the best way of looking at things I've seen!

a tangent

but i can't understand why alex neill left sunderland for stoke?
sunderland seem to have way more potential

was the wage increase huge?

Well hugely disappointed with ifollow which wouldn't work, managed to see the first half on a stream put up by someone on here, but that went down at halftime so didn't manage to see the 2nd half.

However, from what I saw and heard about the 2nd half, not the best performance but a point away at Stoke is never a bad point. I think we should always respect a point away from home, so we go on to the next one getting another clean sheet and a point on board.

Liam so far has taken us from 21st when he arrived to 11th, stopped our leaky defence, and made us much harder to beat. Still work to do going forward, but given time that will come. Tetteh to come back next game, Allahyar and Traore on the verge of coming back into contention, so he has done an amazing job so far.

I can't understand some of the tossers on Twitter saying negative comments, they are either attention seekers or no nothing about football.

I would be happy with another similar performance and a point at Norwich, getting that game out of the way and not beaten will be a good return for these 2 games..

I had the same problem with IFollow as a result I contacted them via their Chat service. They told me it was a problem at Stokes end and also that I should use the Ifolow App on my Phone or Tablet. I did that and it worked fine. You may want load the app on your phone or tablet if you have not already just in case it happens again.

Think they doubled his money.

He was on a rolling contract at Sunderland if I remember rightly.

Don't mention rolling contracts on here, it invites about 500 posts on what a rolling contract means! And they're all different.

It all boils down to the fact he moved for improved terms. Doesn't seem to have done the Mackems any harm though.

A solid point yesterday….we never looked in any real danger apart from the first twenty minutes or so,and if Connelly buried that chance second half we would have gone on to a comfortable win.
Should have kept Tufan on,as we lost some fluency in midfield when he went off and I think it was probably the wrong game to throw Ebiowei on,given his lack of fitness and senior football this season.
Jones my MoM yesterday,never put a foot wrong and made Ingram’s afternoon very comfortable indeed.

First visit to Stoke…the away concourse looked small when I got in and by half two was absolutely crammed,with over half of it full of the pyro brigade chucking plastic bottles and letting off smoke bombs…The Stoke stewards were all huddled in the vomitaries checking tickets and apparently confiscating flags..proper jobsworths some of them.

The minutes silence was impeccable..great to see those who managed to get past the stewards with their flags displaying them,saw a couple of Turkish national teams shirts too.

Think I heard the home fans sing once in 90 minutes….

I think Stoke are paying him 3 times as much as he got at Sunderland

It really really shows just what an awful job shota was doing and the difference rosie has made when despite only conceding 9 goals since november

Only reading, swansea, blackpool and wigan have conceded more goals than us

When Shota was dismissed only nobody in the entire football league had conceded more goals than us. We had the worst defensive record in the county.

I didn’t know that. I hadn’t realised we were that bad!!

 

[PLT]

It's strange because we weren't getting beat by 4+ goals, but we were very consistently conceding 2 or 3 per game, which really adds up it turns out.
