My thoughts.....
Shola a threat strong and kept the ball well but looked slow to turn.
Pearson – an excellent start energetic & skilful. Cresswell missed several sitters and should have had us 3-4 by half time.
We moved the ball around beautiful ly and could have passed West Brazil off the park but it all changed.
2nd half started off well and Shola had a few chances but once again seemed hesitant to shoot.
Rather then Pulis, I think it was the players who bottled it on this occasion. Griffin in particular was awful and kept either over running the ball or kept kicking/heading it right back to Wednesday! I would give Griff only a 3 today – he really blew it!
If Ric had had played – he would have taken their defence apart. Wednesday looked like a 2nd division outfit! I am optimistic going forward though if Tony has the courage to play Ric & Shola together

Do you think Dickinson should have walked for that awful late challenge on McAllister ?

Do you think it was a stone wall penalty on Shola in the 1st half !?

I was sitting with the Wednesday supporters and was only a few rows back. It was late but not too nasty (I would not have sent him). I was very worried though given the previous tackles by Shola (Wednesday crowd were going berserk) and the recent crackdown on such tackles.

The tacke on McAllister looked pretty late but not a sending off in my opinion - he seemed to make the most of it with his theatrical flip (much like anelkas on wednesday)
We should have won this game comfortably - we missed loads of chances.
Come on Stoke - we need to get back to winning ways!

I thought it was a pen but not stone wall. The ref was put under a lot of pressure by the Wednesday fans after the calls to send Dicko off.

I dont want to be negative, but i dont think we will go up if we carry on like this. We keep bottling it when our destiny is in our own hands. Cant believe bristol and hull are outdoing us. If we end up in the playoffs we will be in the championship next year.

give a bit of credit to the ref for not brandishing a red cars straight away , consulted the liner and the right result was a yellow card well done for once.

To be honest i thought he was dead, then when he started to move i thought intensive care at the least, then when the cheating scumbag saw Dicko only get a yellow a miracle occured and he was'nt hurt at all,

I am optimistic going forward though if Tony has the courage to play Ric & Shola together Have the courage to play both Fuller & Ameobi. He HAS to. No way will he drop Fuller. We have missed him. He will play Ameobi as what is the point of getting in a Premiership striker for him to warm the bench? SGS
