    ... bamford was good today - missed the obligatory good chance but was unlucky with the one off the line and took his goal well.

    What’s the thoughts on the Roberts first half Pablo second half strategy?

    I think they’re nursing Pablo because of injury but in doing so may have hit on a formula. If Roberts knows he’s playing 45 he can run himself into the ground. Pablo comes on fresh legged against tiring defences and gets a bit more space to play in.

    The long seasons have often seen his form dwindle or at least get more sporadic... usually looking very leggy in his bad games. After the break, he looks as fresh as a daisy and on top of his game at the moment. We all know what a talent he is, and how his football brain gets the team ticking when he’s on song.

    Watching the Bielsa documentary got me thinking about the various average and below average coaches we’ve had since relegation. Anyone know how many we’ve gone through?

    Sky said nursing his Hamstring, I think he is the one exception for Bielsa insisting on a certain fitness level. I thought he looked a bit underweight and not very well today, didn't play like it, just looked it

    When I'm online I have my speakers turned off. I actually turned them on to listen to what the tune was, I didn't get to 10 seconds in before asking myself why I did that. It's like sticking a cotton wool bud to far down your ear

    A game ever 3-4 days is too much for Pablo, half game keeps him fresh.

    Pablo was class today, but seeing him in the stand during the match standing up and giving off about a decision showed what a class bloke he is. No phone action from him.<ok>

    I'm sure he must have some grandkids who could show him how to work one.

    Stokes manager said his team of big players couldn't match the best team they have played physically. :emoticon-0165-muscl
