Match Day Thread Stoke ****ty v Hull City

Who was pushed?

 

Because once he went off we played a lot better?

 

Hmmn. Tbf, we were that bad 1st half that pretty much any manager would have made changes at HT!! Remarkable turnaround, how it went from being like men against boys to us bossing it

 

Yeah just forget Serj having half-time with the boys, moron.

Imagine blaming the whole team performance on one young lad.

 

I wonder why Jakirovic thought to take him off then, moron. Clearly he wasn't playing well.

 

Just watched the game back and what a bizarre performance from the Stoke fans.

After reading their forum I thought I must have missed numerous times when the referee went gone against them.

Barely anything to see. Our first goal v’s the penalty not given equals each other out.

After that, they went mental when Crooks bought a cheap free kick - although it was a free kick. Coyle also went down easy after a nudge in the back, but he did get a nudge and they are always given. Egan also got a toe in and their man went down.

The boos that rang around the stadium were embarrassing. We would have appealed as a crowd for all of these decisions. Probably even gone as far as a few of us waving our arms about - but the extent to which the Stoke fans thought they were hard done by is dilusional!

 

Go **** yourself Robins, you lost, grow some balls and admit you just weren’t good enough. Prick.

 

Similar to Preston. Couple of changes and BOOM

 

Not sure. See it countless times managers give the players 10/15 mins to turn it around.

Just shows though, once we have our better players back we will be a handful for most teams. Just hope we can maintain full fitness for most of the season..

 

Shades of the Norwich game, poor first half, the gaffer changes it, and a different 2nd half.

Whenever Crooks gets to play a bit deeper, we seem to get control of the midfield, whereas in the first half we were overrun.

The back 4 on the whole played well, Ajayi/Egan look a good pairing.

The changes at HT made a big difference, great to have Belloumi and Lundstam back. Gelhardt is just unstoppable at present.

Great 3 points, stopped the losing run, players injured coming back, onto Boro.

I thought crooks played higher in the 10 when Lunny came on?

Lundstrams ability to break up attacks and spray a pass has been sorely missed.

 

And everyone else was? He can’t make 10 subs can he?
