Don't know if the first half was the same as the second, but it looked distinctly like we didn't give it a go. A bit of hunger and desire, essential for the way we play, wasn't there, not even from those who you'd always expect to be 'up for it'. Whether going onto the field without Tomlin was a big issue for the players - he's almost carried the side in recent months. Today they looked as if they knew they weren't going to create anything. Stoke, to a man, had more desire, were quicker to everything. I wonder what percentage of 50:50s they won?

End of season party next Saturday if we don't pick up a bare minimum of 4 points next week.
