I was very confused and I think a lot of the players were as well.
When we were playing Warnockball there was a clear strategy even when it didn't work well, but despite watching carefully, I couldn't see what they were trying to do.
It reminded me of Millwall in some way I can't put my finger on and it wasn't all bad but it seemed very random. I hope that's just because I'm missing something.
The defence was very different and I'm not sure whether it worked better or it was just a case of Stoke being unable to hit a cows arse with a banjo. It certainly got the best out of Aiden Flint, but exposed the shortcomings of others quite badly .

Main thing is that we won , but I hope we're not just going to play off the cuff, which did seem to be happening tonight.
Another positive was that Madine played much better in this set up.
