Lets have it!

Good start.

But I hope we donâ€™t just sit back and defend the lead.

We need a second.

Last season, there would have been no doubt about that strategy

New lads seem to be settling well.

Weâ€™ve been doing it this season too mate. 1-0 leads have become 1-1 far too often.

But letâ€™s hope we keep up the pressure.

Hegazi injured....Bartley will come on. Bloody hell

TheBrom · « **Reply #107 on:** February 09, 2019, 06:06:58 PM »

Yeah a second and I'll be much happier. It's ours to lose now, we need to keep the ball. Hegazi with a knock apparently

Stoke have a few red heads

Fritzl Palace · « **Reply #109 on:** February 09, 2019, 06:10:18 PM »

Stop farting round with it at the back

geoff · « **Reply #110 on:** February 09, 2019, 06:10:58 PM »

daft corner throw in was rubbish Johnson

TheBrom · « **Reply #111 on:** February 09, 2019, 06:11:16 PM »

Shocking corner to give away there

Donâ€™t think tha because we were deliberately defending, just no good at it with a back 3

geoff · « **Reply #113 on:** February 09, 2019, 06:12:17 PM »

Hegazi trying to run off the knock he got

BaggieBirdRus · « **Reply #114 on:** February 09, 2019, 06:18:57 PM »

Iâ€™d prefer an injured Hegazi than a fully fit Bartley

gavinrussell · « **Reply #115 on:** February 09, 2019, 06:19:16 PM »

JRod should have put that away..

TheJacko2000 · « **Reply #116 on:** February 09, 2019, 06:20:09 PM »

Okay first half game is quite even.

Aside from a very good free kick for the goal Johansen needs to improve massively for me. Hopefully it's just lack of game time.

Rodriguez poor again.

Livermore looks a step down from Rekeem which is massive kudos to the 18 year old. Murphy very quiet, hopefully more to come.

Pie · « **Reply #117 on:** February 09, 2019, 06:23:29 PM »

Missed the first 10 mins but we have looked fairly solid (touchwood) hopefully get a chance to make it 2-0 on the counter

caravanc58 · « **Reply #118 on:** February 09, 2019, 06:24:21 PM »

I'd have Harper on for Barry, his lack of pace has been very noticeable on a few occasions. we've caused ourselves more problems than stoke have, they ay laid a glove on us.
it's a poor stoke side this is.

gavinrussell · « **Reply #119 on:** February 09, 2019, 06:27:32 PM »

Give Barry 15 minutes then bring Harper on for me..

beechyboy90 · « **Reply #120 on:** February 09, 2019, 06:27:59 PM »

We are ahead due to a very well crafted set piece goal otherwise we have made nothing. Stokes best chances come from us fannying about also.

Front 3 aren't in the game at all. Need to let Murphy have a run at his full back might even be worth switching wings with Gayle as that young kid at right back is on a yellow.

We will need a second goal as they can't be that bad the whole game a storm will come. I would give it another 15 minutes and take Rodriguez off either for hoolahan or for Montero

Come on you baggies results have gone well for us need to make it count

Brombo97 · « **Reply #121 on:** February 09, 2019, 06:32:08 PM »

Holgate not taking up many advanced positions. Has he been told to stay back?

It draws their midfield out into our half and we can look to get it in behind them quickly with our front 3.

Absolutely spot on. Invites the high-press and therefore space.Then (if you have the right players) move the ball quickly through the middle and out to wing.

The keeper kicking long makes no sense as we do not have a target man, although rolling out from the back can have its downfall if the players are not switched on. Gareth Barry, I'm looking at you.

People asking for Barry to go off Iâ€™d say Livermore, been caught in possession a lot and is awful on the ball quite frankly
