Piss poor capitulation again. Response 1: We in no way capitulated. We showed the most spirit and determination so far this season. We played extremely well and were all over West Ham for 90% of the game. They were showed great character to come back to from 2 goals down when really they didn't deserve to at all; but they aren't in the top 4 by pure chance. We deserved to win but the way we performed against a team in form was admirable. Response 2: Dick. Response 3: You are unspeakably stupid.

Completely off balance when the ball came to him. No reason to hang his head at all, played really well today I may be wrong but I assume he is talking about their 1st goal If he was then I take my post back

This. Adam should have started. Sidwell had a good game and is much quicker than Adam as much as I like Adam, he is slower. Adam has an eye for goal and/or a good through ball which is what we needed to take the game late on. Before today Sidwell hasn't done much and Charlie's played well in spells with less recklessness.

If you had offered me a point against West Ham before the game, I may have taken it, given the way they've been playing. But seeing how well we played through certain points in the game, i gotta say, it is a bit disappointing.

Moses lost Downing for the second, he took the throw in and strolled into the box and I'm afaid Moses was stood still and watched him run into the box to score. First goal we commited forward and got caught on the break. But it was a fantastic game and even with the Stoke specs on we should have won 4, scored two, Diouf missed two good chances and Geoff had a chance, moses was just wide second half crikey we should have won by more :-)

Can't fault the midfield. Strikers need to finish and defenders need to stick to their men. It's a point but hey ho!

Before today Sidwell hasn't done much and Charlie's played well in spells with less recklessness. Sidwell deserved the game time, if Bojan had to come off would have preferred Assaidi or Arnie to come on moving Walters into the middle. Sidwell was the top scorer in a poor team last season. Song's bad tackle should have stopped the game, but the real problem is the number of missed chanced.

Disappointing result, but let's take the positives.
1. Showing some fight and grit going forward. 2. Diouf is now getting goals and could (should) get more. 3. Bojan is starting to find his form and looking very useful. 4. Cameron is an excellent utility player. 5. Moses continues to play excellently. 6. N'Zonzi is growing as an attacking player.
I know there are lots of negatives, but they are resolvable. Whelan will be back to defend in front of the back line. The defence is capable of clean sheets as shown against ManC. IMO Stoke can win points against the top teams over the next couple of months.

Seems we were too excitable when we went two up and that if he could be critical this would be why.

Thought we played our best football this season in the first half. If We had been a bit more clinical in front of goal we would have won as I think we were the better team. The midfield played well Bojan was everywhere and I think there is more to come. I really enjoyed today's game and it was great to see a bit of atmosphere return to the Britt.

Bojan, Walters, Moses, N'Zonzi, Cameron were outstanding today. I was so happy to see N'Zonzi back to his very best. Bojan ran the game, man of the match for sure. Walters proved me very wrong. Moses tore them apart. Cameron proved all those doubters very wrong, in more ways than one.

They are in a completely false position though. Biggest hoof merchents I've seen for some time and never once troubled us on the floor. Very limited side seemingly. We dominated the whole game and were desperately unlucky.

Wasted chances and having a player that doesn't know how to play rb is what cost us mainly today, Walters was absolutely amazing though, plenty of positives, looks like we've found our new set up.

But the new set up doesn't include Geoff at RB? The one who nearly snatched us the win, (the one their keeper put out for corner and ref gave goal kick).

Yep, the one that he should have scored (not alone on that) and fucked it up, was massively out of position for the goals, as I've continued to say, I'd be more than happy to see him fighting to make the midfield spot his own, he is hopeless at rb in the long term.

Howdy.
I would have gladly taken that point before kick-off, and full credit to you lot, you played great in the first half.
I think your manager needs to have a look at himself singling out Song's challenge, because a fair few from yours went unpunished also. That's not a criticism of you, that's more a point of the ref had a shocker so far as both teams are concerned.
We've never won a game under that ref, and something tells me he really doesn't like us.
So far as our performance went, we wasn't at the races until our equalizer, and thankfully our keeper kept us in it. Seeing us get our tails up and coming from 2-0 away to Stoke is a result I am pretty proud of, as at home you are no mugs, and to do that at the Brit takes some doing.

Can't remember many two footed, studs up leg breakers from our lot?

Song's wasn't a leg breaker either. He pulled out of it and never touched your bloke. If he had, I would be rightly criticising him, as I don't like challenges like that from any player, no matter who they play for.

The reason it didn't connect was because Diouf jumped out of the way. So you only criticise a poor challenge if it connects, but are happy for any of your players to jump in two footed otherwise?

It was ill timed. I get on well with most on here and quite like coming on here, and do try to word my posts carefully fully aware that I'm a visitor, but I will say that some of your mob are not the cleanest of players either. It didn't connect, and rightly no foul was given.
Your managers comments are standard comments coming from a manager who knows he should have won the game but threw away a two goal lead, and is trying to deflect that away from his failure to see the game out by blaming the ref.
I admit, we should have lost that game, and you were the better side but we didn't draw because of Song's challenge, we drew because your manager didn't have the nouse to close the game out, and our quality shone through at the end.

It wasn't ill timed. It was a filthy tackle using excessive force. It doesn't matter whether it connects or not. It was directed towards an opposing player causing him to jump out of the way. It was a red card regardless of whether it connected or not. There is no place in the game for tackles like that. Absolutely no need at all.
