Re: STOKE CITY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Think we’re playing pretty well with the ball, without it is a different matter.

I thought we were poor. I've not seen replays of the penalty shouts, but they both looked pens at the time in my view.

Re: STOKE CITY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
The talk of walking into a relegation fight is laughable. The squad is crap.
We are in serious relegation trouble thats without question. Do we have the players or any sort of style to win that fight?
We will probably go down.

We'll bring on Sawyers first who'll amble about unnoticed and probably chuck Harris & Colwill with 10 minutes left when we've conceded another

Re: STOKE CITY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Only watched since half time .. dear me...we have nothing going forward, and vulnerable defensively. Looks like 3 subs....

Re: STOKE CITY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
So after the WC break to think things over and a really promising outing from the likes of Etete and Tanner he's thrown out the exact same team plus Whyte, who to be fair has earned it but is more of a grafter than a young exciting player. It really does look like we're going to be in a relegation scrap doesn't it.

Re: STOKE CITY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Lovely play, a scruffy finish but who cares?

Re: STOKE CITY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Good work from Etete for the goal.

So Hudson made a triple substitution and Etete immediately had an impact. Hudson deserves praise for that. So often subs do not affect the match and managers are crocuses for getting it wrong. Both Harris and Etete were involved in our equaliser so fair play.

Re: STOKE CITY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
What a difference moving the ball quickly makes.

Re: STOKE CITY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Good work from O'Dowda to begin the move. I'd rather he started at left back than play Nkounkou

Also, I find myself wondering if Allsop could have saved shots far too regularly.
He wants to be too much of a footballer rather than doing the basics as a goalkeeper, ie stopping shots. I was quite impressed at first with him, “Oh, he’s a modern type ‘keeper, this is more like it”. The more the season has gone on I’ve thought, just concentrate on keeping the ball out of the net mate. Anyway, great football for the equaliser, lovely little cameo from Etete.

Re: STOKE CITY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Good play by Harris....bit unlucky Etete...

Re: STOKE CITY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Tails up now...HAVE to make it count...

Re: STOKE CITY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
We're playing some nice stuff now.

Re: STOKE CITY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
This is good. Much better
-
Re: STOKE CITY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
This is much better, urgency and an emphasis on moving the ball quicker and players supporting in advanced areas.
-
Re: STOKE CITY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
We were good in the first half, we’ve been even better in the second. Great performance so far
-
Re: STOKE CITY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Good effort by Etete...he looks much livelier..Harris is making a difference....
-
Re: STOKE CITY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
Like two totally different teams, all 3 subs making a difference and we’re a lot quicker with the ball
-
Re: STOKE CITY v CARDIFF CITY. Match thread
like a different team now... some nice stuff, etete is a decent player given hes provided with service, his directional heading is very good, could score lots of goals
robinsons def and dummy play worries me alot, poached a goal but his off the ball play is a concern
start etete and i recon we would be up in this game now

Etete now seems to have new confidence...
