Stoke are probably the worst team I have seen this season. Looks like Jonathan Walters will be getting the sack cheque book out again.

They're flirting being over FFP as it is.

Sky saying they will have to sell this season to avoid FFP penalties

Moore rarely finishes and has a poor first touch
Tom C - why should we believe you on the evidence so far?

we weren't at our best, no there were worrying points about giving up possession so easily but. can we really complain. this was a team not at 100% because to us it was a dead rubber. we rested many of our big players. & were experimenting with different formations, trying different partnerships.

that was basically an inseason pre season friendly. the only surprise was stoke didnt bombard us earlier. because there rivals have some favourable fixtures. i wouldnt want to go to derby & need a point. when both are fighting to survive on the final day

It was not a case of bouncing back because I thought we were decent against Burnley. I agree with CW's point about our need to keep our momentum into the playoffs. We need to leave our 3 game hiccup well and truly behind us.

Holding impressed me last night - he seemed so assured, Moore showed how we had missed his presence up front and anyone know who our new dead ball specialist is?!

Er, OK then.

Wilmot & Burger were lucky not to be sent off last night.

Whenever we win, same old 'they were crap, not impressed should have smashed them'. Just enjoy the win
Meaningless I know on some levels ( points difference etc), but going forward it can only improve team spirit and confidence going into the playoffs. Which incidentally I think we will ( for once) win.

I'd add Gooch to that as well!

Decent batsman in his time.

I know you’re supposed to say batter these days but fuck that
