Bit of a rarity today because I can’t remember many occasions over the last few seasons this has happened😊

Bit of a rarity today because I can’t remember many occasions over the last few seasons this has happened😊 Wonder if having home fans at both ends behind the goals now means either Stoke or visiting clubs aren't as fussed now about which way they kick in each half? Scoring towards your own fans in the 2nd half of matches has usually been the requirement especially at the Bet365, & could be why we've usually attacked the Boothen End in the 2nd half and away teams towards the South Stand? Just a thought 🤔. May happen more so now. |

WBA won the toss and turned us round possibly due to the wind as it was stronger in the first half or just to piss us off. Stoke kicked off not for the first time.

A tactic to disrupt the Stoke fans.

I remember Wigan did it in the Prem, when the left back scored from a free kick in his own half.

We always seem to play badly when we kick towards the Boothen first half.

In recent years it's seemed like we've been worse shooting towards the boothen so who cares? 🤷🏻♂️ should make even less difference now we've got fans behind both goals.

Pretty sure that goal was in the first half? 72 minutes Funny. I also could have sworn it was the first half. Missed the goal as my youngest dropped his pop just before. Also missed the Begovic goal because he needed a shit on the walk down from Heron Cross so had to do a dirty protest in the bushes. |
