    Is the final just played at the 'home' teams stadium?

    Well they have the ball a lot, but do not do a great deal with it.

    As expected Neil is running the show for us and Younger looks solid at the back.

    Hawke is on the wing... not involved that much, had one shot off target since I've been watching.

    Very even game - will probably go to the dreaded penalties

    Do you know if it was Hawkes who had a chance to shoot, early in the game, when their defender gave it away? Good opportunity for a hit.

    Whoever it was turned and passed and we lost the ball not long after.

    HT 0-0 Defence looks solid but we have not tested their keeper yet.

    Two sides cancelling each other out at the minute. We had a good 10 minutes in the middle of the half, they shaded the last 10 without creating a clear cut chance. Younger looks good, and our Number 3 looks a bit of a unit.

    Hawkes needs to be more involved.

    Might be an idea to go more direct as we are not troubling them out wide and they look shaky at the back.

    Is that the infamous James Mclean out wide for Stoke.

    Bit even steven so far. Neil looks the most likely to find a pass for us. Their forwards look lively. If anything the game is a bit slow and if we can pick the pace up in our passing we may get the better of it.

    I just read that James McClean is playing up front for Stoke
    - coming back from injury apparently.

    No, it was before those I think. Seized on a loose pass at the back.

    It was one of those moments where you might be annoyed at a player for being greedy / going for glory. Hindsight showed it may have been the better option.

    Yeah - maybe we should have put a few ringers in too

    Almond should have scored that.
