Just on the way back from South Wales. Not our best performance but we were still the better team. You would never know the home side was fighting for their lives.
Our passing was great at times and we were the more likely to win it as the game ticked over towards it conclusion.
Assaidi should've buried his chance in the dying minutes then Jon hit the bar after too. Considering they had everything to play for, and we really didn't, you definitely couldn't tell.
We controlled it at the end and we were on their turf.
Slightly disappointed we didn't convert it into 3 points but still very happy with the performance and effort from the lads.
Another point on the board. Onwards and upwards.

My thoughts exactly, surprised given our history how un-hostile their supporters were towards us. Just need to get out of this god forsaken craphole now and back to sunny Staffordshire

I thought that apart fron tge 10 mins after their goal when we completely lost composure and shape, Stoke were excellent.
For how well we played we just don't pose enough of a threat through the middle of the pitch.
If we can find a forward in the summer and somehow manage to hold on to Begovic for another season, we could be a damn good side.
12 of our 14 players today were excellent, 1 was OK-good and the other might as well have not being playing.

Odemwingie has played better but was OK-good and Crouch might as well not have played.
Caulker and his partner won't have had an easier game all season.
The rest were excellent. Our midfield 3 were particularly impressive.
It is also worth noting that they kicked lumps out of Arnie throughout and Webb let them get away with it before miraculously booking Odemwingie for his one and only challenge of the game.

So you're saying Walters was better than Odemwingie??!!??

Walters was excellent when he came on and should have contibuted to a big win, Foxy.
Can ask no more from a late sub though I would have bought him on for Crouch

Yes strangely disappointing! although when they had there spell of pressure we looked awful! Crouch the, last two games, has been very disappointing and highlights why we need someone of his ilk but better. It's coming together but we still have missing pieces in the jigsaw. Loved the Cardiff fans booing Arnie. It means he's good, right?

Very good display by Stoke but without what MH calls "the cutting edge". Arni wasn't as prominent today but Wingie was better than last week. Great to see Whelan beat Jones to a header, what a useless lump of lard he has turned into since he got a hat-trick for Stoke. Crouchy was roughly handled and got no protection from the ref. Job well done, but will need to be better back at the Brit to beat Spurs.

My thoughts exactly, surprised given our history how un-hostile their supporters were towards us. Just need to get out of this god forsaken craphole now and back to sunny Staffordshire What are you on about? Our support is completely different now that we have got rid of the thugs but it's as if that's a bad thing according to you. Would you be praising us if we were unwelcoming for goodness sake. You obviously didn't visit Cardiff other than going to the ground or you wouldn't be so disrespectful. We have a beautiful cosmopolitan city. It's clean, has very little grafitti with beautiful and modern architecture. We are a friendly people. We have beautiful areas in the Bay, lovely countryside and the ground has been voted as being the most welcoming for away fans. The ground is spacious, has good facilities and the prices are reasonable. The transport/access to the ground is good. Why don't you think before posting such tripe. Run the club down as much as you want but I've been to Stoke and most English cities and maybe I'm biased but Cardiff takes some beating. It's sad that you have to build up your own identity by running others down, especially when it's completely undeserved.
