agreed, everyone saying playing last is bad for us. tough games for the chasing pack this week, all the pressure on them, think itll work out ok in the end.

Some very very good goals scored tonight
With all the pressure on us that performance showed big b0ll0cks.
After the day I have had (don't want to talk about it) it has given the Rev a much needed lift!
ALAW
MOT
The best all round game i have seen us play this season and there was not one player that let us down.Hernandez coming on was a blessing as we went from control football to actually sublime. Stoke were terrible make no mistake but i think we made them look that bad.
Everyone raving on about the keeper relax our defence was so good he hardly had to do a thing.He also looked to have done something to his hand hope its not broken or anything like that.
Anyway another couple performances like this and we are home and hosed.
Apart from the result (obviously), so many positives tonight:
* Klich back to passing to his own team-mates, and played well - scoring too - confidence up
* Bamford scoring - confidence up
* Pablo got another half in - hopefully can start at Swansea
* Costa played much better after the pen - confidence up
* Meslier back to his best after Saturday's mistakes- confidence back
* Dallas back and fit so Allioski can be super-sub if needed
Only real blip was Tyler Roberts - probably feeling a bit rotten right now.
Wonderful performance all round and so many good things to take into the weekend.
Never saw that coming with 42 minutes on the clock. As mentioned previously, some brilliant performances and lots of confidence boosters. The Pablo for Roberts switch made a huge difference; Roberts had been very average until that point. Great finish by Bamford - almost made me forget the much easier chances he missed earlier; but not quite. To be fair, his all round contribution today was very good. Even Costa looked worth about 25% of what we paid for him.
Brilliant. In fairness, PB does receive respect from me for keeping his head up and keeping going - despite criticism from me and many thousands of others. Overall, I thought he had a very good game today.
