I really hope we can do a deal to sign him permanently, not as bad defensively as he's made out to be but the best finisher at the club.

Best we've played this season and the entire midfield was superb which meant that the back 4 weren't constantly run at like they have been all season.

Who was the Leighton we had , midfielder died of a heart attack after playing football just after his sunday dinner or something like that? Always thought that was LJ. I think that was Robbie James.

Laurent looks a completely different player when in a deeper role, he should never be our attacking midfield option.

Wilmot's had two bad injuries and he's a shadow of the player he was before those injuries. He is however still a far better centre back than either of the chuckle brothers that are first choice at the moment. I would love that to be the case but unfortunately and as hard as it is, Wilmott is actually worse than Rose & McNally. He's as weak as piss, easily beaten in the air and has even more mistakes in his locker than Tweedle D & Tweedle Dum. Woeful I can't be arsed to search for it but when he was starting regularly Wilmot topped the charts in the championship for winning headed duels. His critics micro analyse every mistake he makes but don't apply the same standards for McNally and Rose who are equally if not more 'weak as piss'. Rose is actually the worst of the three.

Replace Laurent with Thompson and that is probably our best team. What does mystic Bayern think? People really think Thompson is a better option than Laurent🙄

Campbell's been on the beach for about 18 months Got us a penalty v West Brom. Worth a shot I'd say. It wasn't exactly some piece of intricate skill that won him the penalty though was it? He was on the edge of the box minding his own business when the West Brom defender inexplicably tried to decapitate him.

Iverson - 6 - didn't have much to do and couldn't blame him for either goal.
Hoever - 8 - class player who has been superb since the brain fart against Coventry.
Rose - 5 - gets turned far too easily.
McNally - 7 - good and solid.
Stevens - 6 - we're much better with a natural full back.
Thompson - 5 - just beige and slow in thought and action.
Laurent - 7 - I like him in the deep role, always wanting the ball and thought he was good today
Haks - 5 - flatters to deceive
Bae - 7 - (4 first half) shocking first half, superb second.
Mmaee - 7 - a really intelligent footballer, sees thing far quicker than others at times.
Million - 8 - MOM, first time in a while I'm genuinely excited when a Stoke player has the ball at his feet. This guy is will prove to be a great signing.

Campbell pushed us up 10 yards as Cranston commented and we scored twice after Mmaee went off , I’d like to them together or Mmaee with Ennis i They could be a pair I think they could work very well together, Campbell and Mmaee

It was a game of two halves for Laurent today, first half he was the worst player on the pitch as a No. 10 and second half as a deep lying midfield player he was the best player on the pitch. I really have no idea what Baker's best position is. Well he’s the only person in the team capable of shooting so I’d suggest a position where he may find himself relatively close to the opposition goal as often as possible may be a start? I don't think we can keep picking a player because he can pop off the occasional decent effort on goal.

I really have no idea what Baker's best position is. What Baker isn’t is a defensive midfielder. Why Neil and Schumacher have played him there God only knows. Baker and Laurent were the wrong way round today. I agree but Baker has flattered to deceive for his entire career and that's the reason he has been loaned to God knows how many clubs over the last decade. I've lost patience with him and I just hope we can get shot of him in the close season.

When baker and Laurent play together, it always amazes me that baker plays deeper with Laurent generally being the more advanced. Given the attributes of both you’d think it would be the other way around. It was a game of two halves for Laurent today, first half he was the worst player on the pitch as a No. 10 and second half as a deep lying midfield player he was the best player on the pitch. I really have no idea what Baker's best position is.

Slow and cautious in possession, very little movement between the lines, no width in forward areas, very little pace and no urgency to fill the box going forward. All stuff that can be worked on during the week but come matchday the players look as though they've never met each other. Apart from that I can't see any other issues.

Iverson - 7
Hoever - 7 (4 first half) Rose - 5 McNally - 7 Thompson -6
Leris - 4 Baker - 4 Burger -5
Laurent - 7 (4 first half) Ennis - 4 Bae - 6
Subs: Mmaee - 7 Haks - 6 Million - 6 Stevens - 6

Burger in for Cundle and Bae in Haks. I'd keep Leris starting ahead of Million at the moment.

Every player had a good game but mentions for Iverson, Hoever, Mmaee and a special mention for Leris who ran himself into the ground challenging for every ball and winning every header that came his way. I know its not fashionable to praise a 'work horse' but fucking hell he worked his bollocks off today.

They are the best central defensive partnership, it does help though when both full backs have good games, Hoever was superb today.

The recruitment has been criticised to death but I genuinely believe we've signed decent players this season, the problem has been the management and coaching of these players. Bae, Mmaee and Burger are all very good players and even Leris for the money is decent. I'm not getting carried away by the result, I've said all season we have good players at the club.

Like most thought it was an odd line up, however thought that was the performance of the season, low bar set I know but we really controlled the game from start to finish.

He seems he may be a bit of a knob but there's no doubting he's a good player. Certainly the best striker at the club.

Great game of footie and the added advantage of not having to hear the tiresome scousers boo the national anthem at Wembley. Win win

Every time I listen to Sohail he just gets better. An absolute character, I think in time he will be fully accepted and appreciated. Loved his description of Will Keane's bun and how he wasn't envious.

Good to see Jack Butland rebuilding his career at Rangers. Keeping them in the game at the moment, outside chance for an England squad call up soon ??
