Thought we played really well today, we did not desevre to be 2-0 down at the break, i mean, the first was a slip by Davies, plus Ash being off the pitch, and was just one of those things. Chico got a foot to the ball, but it bounced favourably for Stoke.
The second was poor defence, but not by our defenders, but our midfield not tracking runners, JDG and Leon hold your hands up. But other than those 2 chances, we were all over stoke, and not helped by a **** ref, that seemed to have a loving for Stoke, I mean Ash got booked for a 50/50, there were otehr 50/50's that he kept giving to stoke, just look at the early Rangel foul, where their player had a huge chuck of Rangel's shirt, yet Rangel got penalised. And don't get me started on that attrocious handball call for the free-kick, that actually hit Rangel's chest, then onto the arm, so not deliberate, therefore not a freekick. Which then led to the corner, which led to the most appaling penalty call I have seen. I mean, for it to be handball, its got to be intentional, that was ball to hand, his arm was down his ****ing side ffs.
The ref was shocking, I hope to god we put a complaint in, and we all thought Mike Dean was bad, this guy took the biscuit.
But all in all well impressed by the lads, played well from 10 minutes onwards, as Stoke came out the blocks quicker, was also nice to see us continue to play even after taking the lead.
Your having a laugh right? 2 of our yellow cards were shocking, Chico for his stupid ffall after your player pushed him in the throat. Yet Chico got carded, not your player.
Ash got carded for a 50/50 which should have gone our way, as your player run into Ash's legs, the ref was piss poor all game.
And time wasting, don't start on that, you lot were time wasting from the moment you went 1-0 up, go check your throw ins and goal kicks where your players would walk to the ball, then whilst in-between their feet, check their hair, their socks, their teeth, or whatever else they could do to run down time.

Do me a favour you don't have a clue what the match was like.....I don't boo myself but there was plenty of it at before halftime i can tell you. we played well in parts but the reality is we were not good enough to beat a poor stoke side who could put 3 goals past us...yet another 2 points dropped at home and that is the bottom line...
