We are being outplayed. We cannot get the ball off them and when we do manage to get a toe or a head on the ball it goes to a blue shirt. We are going to miss Bojan , off injured. His goal was sublime but I tell you we are hanging on. I hope Hughes knows how to sort it out.
We have got to be grown-up in the second half , no childish misbehaviour , Arnie I'm looking at you , we cannot dwell on the ball but we have to make our passes reach a red and white shirt. I am very apprehensive waiting for the second half.
But now they have got one back , thanks to Sidwell and Bardsley who gave away the free kick. So I don't get the clean sheet I wanted. We are substandard in some areas , Arnie Bardsley and Sidwell need to be replaced by better players. As for Rochdale , I think promotion is within their capabilities.
If only Arnie would play the whole game as he did in the last twenty seconds , I would want to keep him.
You're hogging this thread KKB!! Comfortable, if flattering, score line in the end but we are through and Blackburn away is not a bad draw. Come on Stoke
