IceMag Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 I think it's evident from these first few games that this will be a very up and down season. We need some stability, that's for sure. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sittingontheball Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Hindsight now, but maybe give Sol the nod next time we're up against this type of attack. Two goals and two off the woodwork in 45 minutes. That's just too easy. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BONTEMPI Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Perch's main problem is his eyes are on the side of his head. Soon as Taylor and Simpson are back the better. Perch however i'd let go in the Jan window. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldtype Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Tiote did lose the ball in awkward positions a couple of times today, mistakes Smith would have been crucified for. I'm starting to see some of the pluses and minuses in his game. (Still an infinitely superior player to Smith though, goes without saying.) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foluwashola Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 How we didn't create any chances in open play in the first half is fucking ridiculous. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaizero Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 It was a shit loss but at times we played really well and at the end we really didn't deserve the loss. An OG is a shit way to lose but people on here are knee jerking to the best of their ability and neglect the fact we're playing better and better and eventually this will (hopefully) start paying off. Fair play to Stoke, as it's literally our own fault we didn't come away with a point. Delap coming on is what really won them the game IMO as we just couldn't cope in the air.

Guest sittingontheball Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Further up the field, we were poor all match and created very little for all the possession. The penalty was a gift. Second half we couldn't even keep the ball. I think Sorenson is a bit of a dodgy keeper, but he was largely untested. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 How we didn't create any chances in open play in the first half is fucking ridiculous. Lack of a good final ball, only the Enrique cross is where it was decent. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 How we didn't create any chances in open play in the first half is fucking ridiculous. Stoke were pretty well organised tbh. Two solid banks of 4 and the only time we got in behind was when Jose smashed it across the face. Crossing from deep rarely works. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
KaKa Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Never felt comfortable with this game, and unfortunately felt we were more likely to lose it. We are generally too soft a team and with enough set pieces they were likely to beat us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest firetotheworks Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Quite simply, Stoke sponged us, and I would have thought that Hughton would have seen that. I have faith that it'll be rectified for the next time, though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest BooBoo Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Whats slightly concerning is the lack of obvious chances we are creating. Other than the pen, only Nolans chance at the end was an exampole of us opening them up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JH Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 We played poor in the 2nd half and threw away the game, it's as simple as that. How anyone can say anything different is beyond me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
