GIVING IT A PROPER GO
Listening on the radio, Ratcliffe is about two stepovers away from proposing to Rubin Colwill
Perry Ng has turned into a fabulous player.
He needs to get in line.Quote:

Great game.
Thought Etete, Colwill and Tanner were great when they came on. More effective than those they replaced.
We were the better side 2nd half, we could have won that but take the point and another clean sheet
Good performance and another clean sheet......that's ok...and Colwill looked good when he came on....
Wintle closest we came to scoring. Good save by goalie.
Stoke did nothing in 2nd half. Only one team was going to win that in end.
Decent result, but could have been better.
Colwill, Etete, Tanner improved team last 15 mins.
Very good away point and unlucky not to nick the win with that shot from Wintle.
Centre Backs were solid and Ng was class for the most part.
excellent point city :ayatollah:
Absolutely agree: he's having a ball at the moment. We've got a number of other players who seem to improve every time I see them, Etete is just one example. Given that established players like Ralls and McGuiness also seem to be getting better game by game I think it's fair to say the manager and his background staff must be having a positive influence on them.Quote:

Great to see Etete back.
Whatever he's doing Bulut clearly "has" the dressing room. Spirit seems to better than anything we've seen since Warnock's purple patch.Quote:

He's raised standards, he's demanding more from players, he's not allowing them to switch off, he's called a few of them out, good, because they needed calling out. I'm not saying that he's the messiah, but he demands hard work and he wont let players get away with not working hard and contributing even if that side of the game is a bit alien to them. We now look like a disciplined outfit where players are playing for each other. That's the basis of a successful team in my opinion.Quote:

Stoke fans on their messageboards have quite a few saying we are a good side at this level and clearly the better side
The table doesn't lie but it's nice to hear
You're not even trying to hide it now :hehe:Quote:

We'll still be in 7th position or thereabouts in four weeks time.
Slide down the table my arse!
Joint 4th best defence and joint 7th best attack goals....can't complain....
As an aside....how can three Newcastle players be booked for protesting when it SHOULD have been red (not yellow...) for Arsenal player..../ just ridiculous.
I have always thought that.Quote:

I personally don't think we need any major additions at all
as I said.....should be red....and Newcastle players natural reaction that it was only a yellow.....so several yellows = a probable red?.Quote:

You've done me Mo.... :hehe:Quote:

Colwill has to start the next game, time to unleash him.
Bulut said. Striker. Midfield. Defender.Quote:
