Good afternoon with no rain which was unusual for this fixture 1st half Well first half was rather boring with Mama being upfront with Fuller which created nothing what so ever in an attacking sense. Huth got the goal we needed to kick start from a great Whitehead corner, Tonge looked very lively first half with Higgy linking up, and Etherington on the right side, looking fantastic with shots and trickery and the first half ending 1-0. 2nd half Great second half from us, with Etherington looking lively again till he got injured in which should of been a peno clearly a few minutes after he went off limping. Tuncay Moult Lawrence Collins Whelan all come on about 55/60mins, With Tuncay looking the liveliest of the bunch great movement and vision from him, same as Moult who will be a great player in a few years? Liam and Tonge linked up great to set up Fuller for a power header. Moult then went on a run down the left in which he set up up Tuncay 3-0. Then Tonge got a 4th which i missed who set it up Tuncay/Moult did with the through ball? great finish from him 4-0. Then Moult did some great work again to set up Tuncay with a great assist straight down the middle of the park 5-0. Then Tuncay got the hat trick he deserved with a great Tonge assist and a good Finnish 1 on 1. We should of really won about 9-0 and the ref was very poor missing 2 clear peno's right in front of him. and a very healthy crowd to help Castle for the year. it was much better than last years attempt when we lost 2-1 for the first time in 29 meetings. MOTM - Tuncay or Tonge and Moult looked a handful too up top, But we desperately need a Striker after the first half's showing very poor.

The best moment of the first half was when Mama fell over the box off the pitch. ;D

I wouldnt say the 1st half was boring but for 2 fantastic saves from Tonge and fuller it would of been at least 3

I think with a bit of encouragment and a bhit of trust... Louis Moult could play a part for us next season, even if it is a bit part every so often coming off the bench. Played very well today, just like he as done for the reserves/academy past few seaosns

Yea it did rain a couple of times...around 30th minute, really cold big raindrops ...Everyone played great apart from Mama who added nothing to the team for 45 minutes...When he finally got subbed the stoke team suddenly transformed into this massive attacking and picking out passes team it was insane. Everytime we had the ball, I could feel it leading to a goal.

First time I've been to that fixture; really enjoyed it.
Shook Tuncay's hand as well, which I'm sure was the inspiration he needed for his hat-trick.

Tunny winked in my direction, I'm still sporting a semi now.
I got rained on too, nothing to write home about though.

Have to say i really enjoyed the day and it was rounded off by some very good goals although it was partly spoilt by MORONS abusing Mama from minute one around me ,had to move to save meself getting into an argument with the tossers.Thought Abdy looked like he'd lost abit of weight as well and was well impressed with Moult's contribution.

Mama is shocking though Sergeant, he does nothing and we just hoof it up too him and which he rarely wins even against a non league team.

TLAT i agree he's not premiership standard but he DOESN'T deserve to be riduculed by his own fans imo.

Scarily shaky Collins asides, I don't really have much bad to say about any of our players today. They all looked pretty sharp and were linking up with each other well. It was actually refreshing to watch a Stoke game where our players weren't messing up simple 6 yard passes.
I think my man of the match was Moult or possibly Lawrence. When he came on Lawrence worked well with every player on the pitch, Moult, Tuncay, Tonge and Delap in particular. It's a real crying shame if we do let him go, we're going to have to get somebody very good in to replace him.

He was fine today, linked up with Etherington and some decent hold up play. Nothing spectacular, but did all that was asked of him.

He was shite mate and created nothing through him which is asked of a target man.
