Yes I did call you out which came after a month of toy throwing around the Mag match and since then. I didn't do it lightly, or without thinking. Both myself and Scout posted threads complaining about the hysterical negativity. In both cases they received around 30 'likes' so it's not just me or Scout as a lone voice ... perhaps you should step back and think about that. You've come on to ask about people having digs after a win, I've given my honest opinion and I don't want to go on about it all night.
I came on to praise the team and thought at the same time I would ask a question that's been nagging since you called me out the other day. For the record my comments on the mags match where few and far between. I know where I stand now with you and the board
Hope your OK mate. If you have iptv some have ifollow on a repeat (mine does) so you can catch the game anytime
Anthony Patterson: 8/10 The goal Stoke pulled back was scrappy but Patterson made some vital saves in the first half while the game was still goalless. Jenson Seelt: 7/10 Really unfortunate to concede an early goal but looked assured at right back and good with the ball at his feet. Dan Ballard: 7/10 Competed well at the back with Stoke looking dangerous when they attacked, quick to throw himself at any ball in the box. Luke O’Nien (C): 7/10 Made a vital goal saving block in the first half and like Ballard threw himself at anything that came near him. Trai Hume: 7/10 Solid at left back, only beaten once when Gooch got down the byline and whipped a cross in but was quick to burst forward when the opportunity arose. Dan Neil: 8/10 A really good shift in front of the back four, giving Ekwah license to get forward to great effect. Pierre Ekwah: 8/10 Got forward much more today and looked more comfortable for it, stepped inside after receiving Ba’s pass and fired his goal home with aplomb. Abdoullah Ba: 9/10 Gave the team much needed width, was involved in all three goals and took his goal really well. Jobe Bellingham: 7/10 Much better today, far more dynamic than last week. Tidy on the ball and made some good runs beyond midfield. Jack Clarke: 9/10 Absolutely rinsed Lynden Gooch and whoever came near him on the left all game, got a deserved assist after picking out Ba for the second goal and was unstoppable throi. Mason Burstow: 6/10 Put in a shift up top with very little to work with but was in the right place at the right time to get on the end of Ba’s knock down and open the scoring. Substitutes Nazariy Rusyn: 6/10 Ran the channels and hassled the Stoke defence after replacing Burstow. Chris Rigg: 6/10 Came on and showed plenty of endeavour despite not being on long. Timothee Pembele: N/A A very late change for Ba. Man of the Match: Abdoullah Ba Jack Clarke was flying today but I’ve got to give my man of the match to Ba. Gave the team much needed balance on the right and there was plenty of end product two, with the French youngster providing two assists and getting on the scoresheet himself. Picked out Burstow after leaping in the air to win a high ball for the first, did brilliantly to set Clarke away for the second but then followed it up to be there for the pass once Clarke got into the box and then found Ekwah for the third.
Ba deserved that, I still have no clue why he didn’t start in that position last game as I really think it would have been a completely different result.
That's what I thought. The lad ran himself into the ground pressing their defence and gave us the opening goal at a crucial time. At least a 7 for me.
****ing champion! First half was up for grabs and Stoke could argue they had the better chances. We took one of ours though and that's what matters. Second half we were better all over the park and dealt with them professionally. Credit to Clarke, who murdered Gooch all day, Ba who made an immense contribution and Neil who was sublime in the second half in particular. I liked the shape of the midfield with one holding and 2 8's. Have to say I find it pretty disappointing from Pritchard to refuse to play. A sad end to his time here.
I don't think he's determining them on the basis of colour tbh. To me it's no different to saying 'home grown', Scottish or left footed ... ... just idle conjecture.
