Match Day Thread Season 2023 - 2024 - Match #34 - Stoke City Home

Turnbull on bench and no sign of Tanner anywhere. Is he injured or has Bulut had enough?

 

You've hit on the problem I always have with team selection. We only see players for a tiny proportion of their working week and consequently are not privvy as to some of the things that influence selection. I'm saying this not to necessarily defend what sometimes seem like strange selections. It's more about how difficult it is to make informed judgements for us fans. Of course, nothing new there for us or any other club.
So for those chosen to represent us today I say "cmon you blooooooobirds".
Three points please.

 

Here we go. Etete at last

 

Is our wish Granted?
2-0

 

They've gone mad.
Just need to keep our foot on their throat and not go all defensive.

I wonder what Erols excuse will be for not puting youngsters on today?

 

Uh oh
2-1

 

You've spelt it wrong.
It should be Ugbo, 2-1.

 

Can we call that full time now please?

I'm on for a maximum in the prediction league as things stand and I really need the points...

 

It's the result I predicted. Not got a scorer though.

 

Sorry mate. The second half is where Ng leads the charge and we get 4 more without reply.

 

Stoke have come out all guns blazing it seems.

 

Hmm, couple of subs and on the front foot. What can Erol do now???

Hopefully we can weather the storm and reimpose ourselves...

 

Grant off injured and Wintle on to replace him????????
Please tell me we're not going to try and defend this

 

Ref's having a busy day

 

Thank gawd for that. Nerves torn to shreds.
Well done Brizzle...fine predicting.

 

Just caught up..... Had to pop out, very considerate of Erol to take note of my need for the points!!

 

Ok we won but only because Stoke weren’t able to make anything of their domination of the game after Bulut decided to shut up shop by taking off Colwill and Bowler.

Negative and defensive football which I hope we won’t have to suffer next season when hopefully Bulut will be back in Turkey

 

Will we ever finish a game with a team that is leading.

 

Other than the win and 3 points, I can't say I took any pleasure in that game of football today. The same old gameplan and we got away with it for a change.

Any chance of relegation might have slipped away with the 3 points in the bin but in all honesty, the football is dreadful.

 

Easy for me to say as I wasn't there but it was all about three points for me. I'm sure I'd have been spitting blood if I'd had to sit through it
Nothing has happened to change my mind about the way the club is being run.
However, glad of the win as it might be a while before the next one.
But who knows (apart from jck)?

Blooooooobirds
