Their second from our perspective was also a shocker. Normally food and drink for our defence allowing Baht a free header.

Their best player scored their third. If he hadn’t been playing we would have won easily.

As it was, looking back we could have scored 6 and there would have been no complaints from their side, although I am sure their manager would have done. Remarkable considering Stoke had only conceded 6 goals away from home all season before this game.

Lady Luck is not smiling on us at the minute. Derby won against Bournemouth with a goal scored by a player, who should have been sent off against us, but unfortunately Stevie Wonder was the ref. Stokes’ first was a total fluke and the last gasp effort from Crooks was sublime. The spin he put on it was brilliant. Another day that would have gone in.

We are getting used to this league and many of the lower teams still have to visit NYS so I feel that we will have the firepower to survive this time round without worrying about other teams.
I think we need at least two more players to survive ? One more strong mobile left back / wing back and one more energetic goal scoring midfielder !
Yes we could do with a striker but think there is little chance of us getting anybody in who would make a difference?
We have used seen our rivals make ***** transfers in eg QPR Charlie Austin, but this type of player seem behind our means ?
Therefore one more attacking energetic midfielder might be slightly easier to find ? We need cover there because our high pressing game seems to run out of energy after about 60/70 minuted and that’s when we get pushed back to far. Shaun MacDonald although a very good player is not that type of player and is the only available cover for this area ? So we need at least one more in that area !!
