Caption competition anyone?

LJ "Yeah, but can you do it on a cold Tuesday night in Stoke?"

[cityexile]

Well, an immensely pleasing half of football that. Only disappointment is we are not winning.

Created more chances, gave it a go, with that many changes best you can hope for. The most pleasing aspect is that you can see a clear means by which LJ wants to play. Seems to be coming out again tonight. Should not be that difficult for any of these players to slot in to the full strength team if needed.

Sure, I will assume Stoke will find a bit of class sometime tonight and nick one, but have to be very happy with that.

£300k AND they lost their new stadium, what a bunch of Muppets!

[Bar BS3]

Sounds like a good showing first half. Only concern is not being ahead after being on top in the first half. 

Whatever the final score though, it's shows we can compete well with a strong line up from an established premier league team. Even with our reserve team!

Many there?

Yep. Stoke certainly turned it on right at the end of the half. Charlie Adam is playing shit, but brilliant whipped in corners. Impossible to defend against. 

Not that impossible, if it's 0-0..!

Good news. Fammy and Taylor for me all day.

I think Bobby might consider himself a little hard done by.

No idea but atmosphere sounds decent on the radio.

5 Live reporter impressed by our intensity and creativity. Said you can see why we're Championship top scorers.

Not bad for our second string. 

[Robin101]

Think Diedhoui looks good. Possibly should have scored. He has a slightly disconcerting first touch where you think he's lost it. 

Elliason looks potentially very exciting. Looks a wee bit naive so far though. He's exciting when he gets the ball at his feet and goes forward. 

[RedM]

Great game we are battering them and look confident and up for it. Good to see fringe players slotting in as well as the 1st team regulars and plsying some clever one touch football. 

 

 

[Up The City!]

Could and should have been 2 up within the first 2mins. Taylor missed a sitter when one on one with keeper.

Stoke had 2 or 3 really good chances right at the end of the half.

All in all we had more of the play and looked like the only team who was going to score. 

Really good atmosphere aswell.

Listening to the commentary it sounded like his delivery into the box was pretty good corners and crosses. What did you think ?

Steele?

Eliasson?

Decent considering there aren't non-attendance season ticket holders in that.
