A lot of fallin' down, free kicks and running. Fair result. 2-2. Not disappointed in any particular Stoke player, apart from possibly Afobe, not up to his best standard. Surprised by Clucas. Also Edwards, Verlinden. Defensive line all pretty good. That is what you can expect from Afobe, GET RID! McClean again shows a lot of commitment, not too bad but as usual no Quality, GET RID! Apart from these two a decent performance from the rest. The second half was actually good to watch which was a change from the usual stuff as well.

He seems a bit of a loose cannon and I suspect he proper lost it with them at half time.
Something must have been said the way they flew out of the traps 2nd half.

I didn't think we were that bad first half, and were very good the second. Well played lads; certainly a much better performance than many were expecting (myself included). The players were all isolated in the first half it's like they didn't know one another 2nd half they played more like a team and supported one another that made the difference

It certainly was a decent performance, but when Verlinden went off, we lost that "cutting edge" which Jones speaks so much of. Ince came on, was virtually a second fb, did some chasing, but had no impact going forward. And so, the impression at the end was that Jones was more keen on holding on to the one point than going forward to collect all three, which would have been possible, as Norwich were shaky at the back.

A much (much) better second half though, no shadow of a doubt.

Will the fullbacks be expected to be more of a attacking threat? Looking forward to that 😁 More of a threat than scoring 😂 I hope so too

Really enjoyed that, especially the 2nd half, play like that next year and we’ll be a threat. Thought Allen was excellent, Edwards as well, Collins played assuredly in his cameo but for me Williams was MoM (not just for his goal) never gave up, tackled like a man possessed and drove the ball forward. First signing of the summer ?

Good second half some players put in good displays.
Williams,Allen, Etebo, Edwards, all did well as did young collins when he came on.

First signing of the summer ? No he has shown his incosisentcy while playing for us which is why he is not playing for Everton I would fill his spot in the squad with souter or collins

We need to lower the age of our first 11 hungry fitter players will serve us better than season pros going thru the motions

Yes, 11 mediocre work horses with no quality would be wonderful, wouldn't it!

There are plenty of hardworking plodders around who would cost a lot less, he's a poor man's SJW without the character, goals and ability, shocking signing.
