I will eat another slice of humble pie here....that was an outstanding effort.

Everyone ran their blood to water.

Stoke footballed us to death the first half but with no goals to show for it.

However we outfought them for the majority of the second half and at 2-2 we finished stronger.


I lost count of how many lost causes, Smithy, Williams, Manning, Towell, Ajayi, Mattock (outstanding today) and Taylor won.

Never seen a team harry and chase like that. To be honest that is all we could do because of the huge gulf in class....but we did it superbly well.


MANNING IS SUCH AN INTELLIGENT FOOTBALLER. HE HAS THE BRAINS OF JOHN SEASMAN AND KARI ARNASON COMBINED.[/B]

He reads play so well. How many times does he intercept the ball after reading the play before anyone has even blinked. What the hell were QPR thinking?

I am going to change my mind.

WE WILL NOT GO DOWN THIS SEASON
