We were pretty damn mint tonight, could have been any score. Dominated from start to finish playing some lovely stuff along the way.

 

Xisco put in a very, very good shift and actually looked like he has a bit of talent. Hope he's rewarded with a place on the bench on Thursday alongside Campbell who ran his bollocks off and created a lot of chances for himself and his teammates. Although we didn't have much defending to do, Good and Satka played well when they became a pair at CB, as did Tavernier who looked very classy at both CB and RB. Good in particular was really impressive. Only slight negative for me was Amalfitano. At fault for the goal with an awful back pass that went straight to their striker, something he'd almost done earlier on too. He looks a million miles away from the first team at the minute, unfortunately.

Cheers Ash, disappointing about Amalfitano, was literally just thinking why he didn't seem to be getting much of a chance as he has looked like he has something about him on the limited viewings :okay:

 

Definitely happy about Good, thought he would be getting more of a sniff. What was Abeid's goal like?

Have to say too, it was slightly infuriating watching us play tonight. We looked to always pass it out from Alnwick and play it out from there, whether it be to any of the back four or Abeid dropping in deep. We really did play some fast-flowing, exciting football (loads of men breaking forward when we nicked it off them, good link-up play, running the ball at the opposition, 1-2's, etc). Even when we played it long which wasn't a great deal, the balls had purpose and the diagonals caused Stoke so many problems. Beardsley was encouraging the lads to keep it on the ground as much as possible which was refreshing to hear. This is how the first team should be playing though!

Tidy finish near the edge of the box from a nice move down the right, always expected him to bury it when it fell to him mind. Tavernier's header for the first was a corker, cracking ball from Campbell and Tav did well to get above their LB and put it past the 'keeper from where he was.

Thought the team were fantastic tonight, played some brilliant one and two touch football and ran Stoke ragged for 90 mins.  If we had put ten past them i don't think they could have complained, there keeper made 4 excellent saves and we had some poor finishing.  For a 16 year old Satka looks like he could be a cracking player in a few years,  i was sitting in front of Carver, Stone and Woodman and JC and Stone were impressed,  they weren't too impressed with Marveaux though!  Also thought JC was going to smack the ref when the ref basically ignored a shocking tackle on Nicholson which resulted in him being stretchered off.  Never seen any of the senior management leave there seats and walk onto the pitch before.

Agreed, their 'keeper pulled off some stunning saves.

 

I really wanted to rave about Satka due to how young he is playing in that side but Good was just so impressive. Reads the game really well and is so composed on the ball. Even had a thought during the game how he could be a mini Colo (minus the hair obviously :laugh:).

 

They were utter filth, just like their first team. It was an appauling tackle, hope Nicholson's ok. How their #9 stayed on the pitch I'll never know. The two-footed lunge on Xisco was a red all day long and he made two other fouls that were borderline reds too. To not even get booked was pretty disgusting.

Campbell seems like a very 'complete' footballer. Doesn't mean he's going to make it but he has a lot to his game whether it be pace, some tricky movement, his crossing, clever passing. If he ever does make the step up, he's going to be very interesting to watch

I agree, he seems like a more prolific Bellamy.

 

Not bigging him up to much or anything :lol:

I know the weather was minging but feel sorry for the lads in a way that such a brilliant team display was only witnessed by 221 fans.  The next home game is a top of the table clash against Man U so should be a few more at that one.

Look at the ref's view ffs. Only stopped the game when Xisco got up and stuck the nut on him.

Xisco's right hand. :lol:

That looks like a shocker of a tackle mind, the size of the bloke as well means that could have been a leg breaker, easily.

Just like Tiote's.

 

It's far worse in my eyes, mainly due to the fact he's left the ground and from where I was stood, it looked like his trailing leg also went through into the tackle too. There was a similar tackle just before this that led to Nicholson getting stretchered off, nothing happened with that either.
