    This Stoke line up is an utter disgrace and this cup until later stages becoming another Mickey Mouse cup
    Nice to be winning but who are we playing

    We've made them look poor. Our press has fantastic.

    Got the match on a dodgy firestick and it’s just buffering…. impossible to watch.

    Two assists in two matches. He has shown to be a decent signing so far.

    He is indeed turning out to be an excellent signing. I always liked it to be honest. He had a good apprenticeship under Clough, who is no fool - but I liked that he had the nerve to go somewhere new because he backed himself to be good enough in L1.

    i.e. a player with a very good approach to the game, who will have learnt a lot in his younger years.

    Dare I say, we seem to getting not too bad at signing forwards? Or rather it's better than the old 1% failure rate (i.e. Cooky in about a seven season spell) :)

    Of course, I've now wrecked it!!

    Making kids look poor isn’t tough
    Clubs just aren’t bothered about this cup or any cup tbh
    It’s a sad affair

    We've changed half our team. Everyone does it, and the higher up you are the more changes tend to be made. Most Premier League teams will make a full 11 changes in this round, it's been the same for years.

    Exactly it’s a rather pointless cup these days
    Attendances are poor, money isn’t great until later stages

    Sort of ask the question why bother with the cup competition in the first place?

    Swanny, apart from a cracking header to give us the lead has covered acres of the pitch with his chasing and harrying of the Stoke players.
    Looking like a fantastic signing.

    Enjoyable 45 minutes. The flanks with Halliday, Lapslie, Wright and Touray have been excellent. Great corner from Wright and a pinpoint finish from Swan. Pressed the hell of them but jeez they were poor, the poorest 45 I've seen from a team all season. Can imagine Robins will make numerous changes at half time.
    Looking forward to more.of the same.
