I did wince when the commentator bemoaned Shawcross's injuries. That said. The last couple of times I have been away there the people are really welcoming. Had a proper Oatcake before they gave us a spanking a couple of years ago.
I think we have more in common with their fans than going to say Brentford, Watford or Norwich.
I dont think ive ever seen as much stick a player is getting as Vokes currently on Oatcake.
Harris and backroom staff are building up Glatzel into the player I assume we hoped we had signed all those moons ago. If we can do the same with Whyte then our squad is looking a lot stronger and we'd have genuine options off the bench/as rotation.
We saw the game out superbly , Stoke were gone by then. Campbell going off injured for them and Glatzel coming on for us made a huge difference as of course so did the Smithies penalty save - that seemed to give us the belief we could get something out of the game. Great result on a very difficult night
Just watched it, they had Powell marking Morrison at both corners. They had Shawcross, Collins, Vokes and Chester on the pitch. That's more than a little bit odd!
That's the Championship. I agree with the change of dynamic. Campbell is a Premier League talent and when Stoke lost his pace we slowly took over, Today wasn't Harry Wilson's game so he was not a great loss. Harris deserves credit for his tactical subs though maybe for the doubters he got lucky!
Me and my lad were buying a pair of new boots so changed web page after the first one, clicked back and he was doing the same run in practically the same spot.
Went to checkout on the boots and came back for the third installment.
I thought my stream was buffering and nearly launched my laptop.
I just read the whole thread, funny how they went from Real Madrid to real shite as it progressed. Funny how the majority of opposition fans don’t give credit to the side that’s beating them, we were crap, shite etc, hard to get a bit of praise for a job well done. It should be realised that to have success in the Championship these are the type of fixtures that bring it.
Coming back to this, our record against the current top 17 in the league is actually pretty good. We lost to Reading when they were absolutely flying and Bristol when deserved a point but, this early into our really difficult month at least, are unbeaten otherwise.
Our record against the current bottom 7 though is pretty awful though. We have played 5 of them and picked up 4 points only.
Didn't realise how tight the table is.
We are 9th, 2 points off 6th, only 5 points off top!
Let's do the Jacks now!
1 - 1
1 - 2

Last season when we beat Huddersfield 3-0 away was the last time most of the opposition's fans thought we were a good side.
In another thread on here I quoted a little snippet from the Stoke message board which bucked the trend a bit. One of their fans noticed that we had improved a lot since their penalty miss. "Blimey, they are like Brazil now". Very kind of him.
There was a period during the 00s that the fixture started to resemble a bit of a derby. I remember plenty of ill will, some disorder and “that” PA announcement of course...
Sounds like it was a game where the subs wot won it. Bit of fortune with the pen, radio commentator said it was very soft so maybe a little bit of justice there. Chuffed for Bobby G to net another, here’s hoping he’s finding some form. Who would have predicted this run reading the tea leaves after the Coventry game.
Prior to this game they'd conceded more than anyone else in the top half of the table, and many in the bottom half too. And I think we saw evidence of that for our 2 goals, as soon as we put them under any type of pressure they left us unmarked in the box twice.
The reason they are up where they are is they've scored a lot of goals, and until Campbell and Brown had to go off they had us pinned back due to their pace. I think the Campbell injury changed the game.
