Best half of the season, neat, crisp and incisive. Carry on and the goal will come.

What are the chances of us keeping Norrington Davis? He's raw and has a lot to work on, but I really think he could become part of a promotion hunting team in the future. Which would most likely be a Yorkshire promotion hunting team that will be fully set up and raring to get back to the promise land, no? Suppose it comes down to if Sheff Utd want him next season, we could be looking for another left back in summer

, watching the replay, it was a shot from Fletch, which hit the defenders legs, and deflected square, but well deserved. Oh was it? When I saw the replay I read it that fletch was twisting his hip as to if to sharply square it.... I’m watching on a tablet with dodgy WiFi though so likely wrong.
I'm watching it on TV, SSN. The first time I saw it I thought the same as you, then I thought it was a deflection (As did McNally), I've now just watched it a few more times, and I think it was deflected, but I'm really not sure!

Brown looking like the player we hoped we’d bought I was hoping/anticipating Brown to be a similar type of player to what Ollie Watkins was like at Brentford with loads of pace, good work-rate and a danger in the oppositions box when he first signed. Glimpses of this starting to show through now he's starting to add more than the pace he has to his game. Hopefully confidence will breed as the game's pass & he'll continue to improve as he adds more to the onfield output with assists & goals.

I think my dream now is getting close to playoffs because Brown scores every game, while we also give the yoof like Norton a try.
If there's a good buzz in the dressing room saying we made a solid run and next time we'll have Collins, Campbell & Doughty then that must make it easier to keep who we want. And if Jakey boy comes good I'd love it, but I'd also love it if he was getting the limelight and bid interest instead of Souttar.

We are playing well.
I know Brown has had some criticism of late but he is putting in a shift today.
If there was a crowd in there I am pretty sure they would soon take to him. ⚓️

Granted Brown just about kept up with play and beat the defender to the cross, but his shot was woefully powerless and straight at the goalkeeper, who must be wondering how he didnt save it. But hey hoe miskicks often score in front of goal and we need more luck like that. Why can't can't you just apologise for all the shit you have thrown at Brown and give the lad the proper credit he deserves?

If there was a crowd in there I am pretty sure they would soon take to him. ⚓️ Aren’t Stoke fans known for forgiving a lack of ability if the work rate and effort is there? If so, why aren’t people more supportive of the lad? He’s a young player in his first year with us. Can anyone dispute that he’s given his all for us this season?

Well we should be ahead but could be behind after a classic scruffy mugging of a goal. Powell winning ball back in own half to set up the goal was a highlight. Bit worried about Batth on a yellow. Come on boys!

I won’t slate him and I’m chuffed he’s getting a goal or two- but he does the easy things wrong so often it’s very frustrating. Hopefully he’ll improve technically - he needs to.

Decent half ,didn't deserve to go behind but why are we defending free kicks with such a high line on the edge of our box? It's the only thing that's caused us problems.
Brown has been good,anyone saying otherwise has already made their mind up before the game.
The ref is shit and has let them get away with at least 4 late challenges.
I'm finding Rowett more and more loathsome all the time.

Lots of lazy passes that are ruining good positions.

Pleased for Brown getting the goal he has put it in all season and although there is room for improvement you can never accuse him of hiding. Hopefully he gets the winner today. Gooaaaarn stoke second half!

If you're going to be a shit ref, you're supposed to favour either the home team or the bigger club. Neither of which are fucking Millwall. Or C anyone playing against Stoke I could understand a bit more if it was Watford, Brentford or Bournemouth and the perception of how they play, but Millwall? Gary Rowett's Millwall? Really?

There’s been plenty of performances where the fans would have been slating him, which would have hurt his confidence. Seems to have turned a corner in the last few games and hopefully we will see the best of him next year.
