    Kelly was poor first half with his passing!

    What a match, just brilliant. Our scoring pair Swannie ( goal hanger) Lapslie was there making his neat passes. Defence was excellent, midfield was really good. I had us down as a loss, but love being wrong. I love this team/squad.

    Well the other 7 won't be in the first team then. Perhaps the 4 from the first team may get dropped.

    Screenshot_2025-08-26-22-24-10-70_a23b203fd3aafc6dcb84e438dda678b6.jpg Fantastic performance and will be a fantastic drive north, when we get out of this car park.

    To a man back to front, fantastic. Whilst Swan undoubtedly MOTM, big call outs to.....well basically the whole squad.

    Huge credit to GA whom had doubts when he arrived but boy he's stuffed my words right back down my throat. That team tonight and for so many months epitomises everything about the ethics of GA so this win goes out to the gaffer.

    Eh? I’m good at maths even at 70!
    They were squad players , just like Lapslie, Kelly, Halliday, Baldwin , Wright , etc etc etc ? ;)

    I am not sure what you are getting at. A good proportion of Stoke's team tonight have not been featuring in their 1st team in the first few matches of the season. On tonight's performance I don't think those players will be picked for their team on Saturday. That is all I am trying to say.

    Just thinking back to when some people were complaining about this being a “crap draw” : unamused:
