    Just home from the game and he's my view's.

    First half TOTAL and utter S***E That has to be the worst first half I can remember for years.
    2nd half hey feckin HO on comes Jerome and first chance he gets, he scores.

    F F sake PULIS WHAT does Jerome HAVE to DO to get a start?

    Honestly PP I am livid and we've drawn against a very good Everton side? Massive cheer when Walters went off, should have been Jerome on at half time IMO.
    Etherington feckin useless. Midfield that is still USELESS always will be.

    The bench Fuller, Jerome, Wilson P ?? Tony WAKE up or GO PLEASE.. youre tactic's/selection tonight was garbbage. IMO so was the performance.

    Great goal by Jerome and WHY the hell does Crouch have to defend a corner? Pathetic Stoke performance tonight.. Until Jerome and Fuller came on!

    TOP half someone is having a laugh? And all that Pulis said was " some of the player's looked jaded" From where I sat more like clueless, but HE keeps playing them.

    WHY?

    Good pt but i'm not happy and be warned, if we play like that. QPR will murder us on Sunday.
    I feel like telling Pulis to cancel Pennants contract and while he's at it. His own.. Please jog off Tony before I say SOD IT!


    I feel better now..

    I HOPE other's who we're there tonight say similar.. ANYONE who thinks that's anywhere near good enough is easily pleased.

    Rant over!

  3. Hey Up Potts.

    I thought Matty was one of the better players first half. He was causing them problems down the left side. In the second he got shoved over to the righthand side for a time and battled well. Or was I watching a different match! Whitehead again did well but Rory was only effective with the ball in his hands. Who else was in Midfield? Oh yes it was super Jon, enough said, We were outplayed all night in midfield. Why was not Palacious starting. I gues he will be on Sunday. I just hope he starts with WPin midfield and Jerome on Sunday so we have more pace.

    The players were to an extent clueless and again I do wonder what coaching they get some of the time. You see sheer frustration from Crouch trying to head on to Walters and he is running in a completely different direction!

    Finally why didn't Everton murder us last night? Perhaps we did ok in defence? However what I did think was that it seemed we were only to happy to allow crosses to come over all the time, as if they were never going to be any threat! IMHO I thought Huth again acquitted himself well at right back and Ryan & Upson stuck to their task of keeping Jelavic relatively quiet. I was concerned about Wilsons' distribution thoughout the game!

    Finally I was pleased with a point given we were well below par ro else as the great one says ' some players looked jaded!'

    As for Sunday let's just hope that Bolton win tonight and the pressure gets too much for QPR!

    I guess I was too harsh? Matty was OK as you said until for some unknown reason he and Walters change wings.. i do not see the point in doing that. Whitehead? fair enough he tackles player's but you are right about Huth.. but it's still square pegs and round holes AGAIN.
    Wilson I believe? is told to just hoof it which he did to Crouch and Jones hardly even gambled on him winning the ball, hence nothing came of it. Jerome and Fuller changed the game for us.. as for Everton.. how many times first half did the ball cross the six yd line at pace, thankfully no Everton player's cashed in.

    Our midfield Cris.. er NO comment we don't/didn't have a mifield we just bypassed it. Good pt which really we didn't deserve IMO but Jerome took his goal really well.
