Butland - 6 hardly anything to do and no chance with the goal Smith - 7 great first half but awful second half Ba'ath - 6 never had to break sweat Chester - 6 see Ba'ath above Martins indi - 6 see Ba'ath and Chester above Thompson - 8 had a very good composed game Ince - 8 fabulous effort and tracking back today Allen - 7 had a good first half but will be sorely missed Clucas - 7 2 good goals but didn't notice much else Powell - 8 showed some great touches today and 2 good goals MOM Campbell - 7 was a menace all day but why doesn't he head the ball Oakley Booth - 7 awful first 15 minutes when he was chasing shadows but once he was move further forward looked a bloody good player

When you get a brace in a must win game and only get a 7 Danny Baath with an assist and he gets 6! Brutal.

Another very similar ball went in shortly afterwards that just fizzled our and Smith tore strips off bultand for not claiming it.

Having not seen it back either I don't think Butland could've claimed it - pretty sure there were a few bodies in the way and it was outside the 6 yard box. Smith had a go because again he didn't have any idea where his man was and knew he'd been done by a simple run that could've been worse.

There was two Stoke defenders in front of Butland marking fresh air, leaving the Hull player completely unmarked in the area,both switched off...good job we were not playing anybody decent,and where did Smith go second half !!

Butland - 7, did what to expect from him, but not a busy day. Smith - 7, all in all ok, but a bit sloppy in the second half. Batth - 8, steady as usual and an assist too. Chester - 6.5, did OK, but doesn't fill me with confidence. Martins indi - 7, ok. Thompson - 8, MOM, thought he played very well. Ince - 7.5, a good game, but really needs to put one of all his chances away! Allen - 7.5, solid as always under O'Neill. Clucas - 8, has the ability to get into good positions and score. Powell - 8, a bit too fancy at times, but a good game. Campbell - 7, I really think he should have had another goal in this game.
Oakley Booth - 7, needed some minutes to adjust, but a very good debut. The rest not on long enough.

The goal was 100% Brunos fault, way out of position but I guess thats what happens when a CB is playing LB. Hard to score anyone, including Ince who had another great game, below a 9 yesterday

Oakley let the cross come in too easy, and Bruno gets draw in which left his man wide open

Butland - 6 had literally nothing to do. No fault for goal. Smith - 7 good going forward. Still the best RB at club. Batth - 7 solid Chester - 7 Did fine but thought heโd be better with the ball. Martins indi - 7 did ok. Thompson - 8 thought he had a good game. Ince - 7 did better but not enough finished product. Allen - 8 did well. Heโll be missed. Clucas - 8 improves by the week. Powell - 8.5 MOTM Oozes class. Campbell - 7.5 always looks a threat
Oakley Booth - 7 bit of a mixed bag but definately has talent.

Butland 6 - As others have said, nothing to do and no chance with the goal. Smith 7 - Good outlet going forward and great assist but does go missing defensively at times. Batth 7 - As easy a game as he could hope to have. Chester 7 - Same as Batth. Martins-Indi 6 - Hard to be too critical given that left-back is not his position, however, should have done more for their goal. Thompson 8 - Combative, won more than his fair share of challenges and played some neat passes. Allen 8 - Totally dominant. He will be badly missed. Clucas 9 - Took his goals very well and was always playing with his head up. MOM. Ince 7 - Not a bad performance, and he works hard and tracks back, but never, ever looks likely to score or create a goal. Campbell 8 - Strong, fast and always a threat. Needs to make more runs off the ball and really go looking for the pass in behind. If he did, he would get more chances. Good penalty. Powell 9 - Very good today. Concentrated on doing the simple things well and took his goals superbly. Only shaded by Clucas.
Oakley-Boothe 6 - Looked miles off the pace, which is understandable, and needs to do whatever Campbell did to bulk up. Smart assist and clearly talented, though. Does not look like the Allen substitute we will need until we are safe.

Butland has zero to do. Smith in the second half was appalling. Would have got a 7/8 if he played like he did in the first half. Batth was just his usual self with the added bonus of he tried to gift them two goals. Absolutely useless.

Powell was sensational.

Powell was sensational. Plenty others saw it too. They targeted him and their left winger did him time and time again. Like for the goal. Batth was truly appalling too. The assist actually summing his game up. An attempt at goal that was going out for a throw in.....

Powell was definitely the MOM in my opinion. Not one player had an off day which was great to see. Keep that team for the Reading game and hopefully we can start to shake off our away day curse.

Their left winger they bought on though was impressive. I was impressed with that left winger. Looked a young lad as well. Although Smith did give him the freedom of the Bet365. I said at the game if him and that Honeyman had been on from the start they'd have run us much closer than they did.

No idea if heโs usually like that or not but I was impressed. And I agree. Also Stewart was about our best player and they improved massively when they bought him on. It really was a strange game. One we could have scored 8 in but we were so poor that second half.

How much do you take the opposition into account? It was a strange game as without anybody playing their best we were comfortable. I think most players did their job and probably deserved an average score which I take to be 6. Powell, Clucas and Thomson probably deserve 7/8 but certainly not as high as 9. Some of Bahht's clearances especially his headers were comical. I don't think he knows himself which direction they are going to go. Against better opposition I would say the defence were below average but I thought Butland did well claiming high balls into the box. Would he have done that against a better team, probably deserves a 7. I won't get carried away by the scoreline. Hull were dreadful. I expected them to come and defend for their lives but I've not seen Stoke win so many second balls for a long time.

Kept getting in the right positions. He was timing his runs really well too. And was giving Smith 5 yards head start and still beating him to the ball.
