Stoke City - Nottingham Forest

Yates shoots...........

...it’s just landed in Crewe

[stirred]

Lolley coming on with instructions to drive forward made a lot of difference.

Absolutely

We would be good if we were more positive and adventurous. It’s why we need a new manager.

The manager deserves credit here. He made a switch in second half with the wide forwards playing as inside forwards which created overloads on both sides once lolley came on. It’s actually where we got our goal from and nullified their wingbacks completely. Sow and Yates then worked a double pivot very well...-

Insightful comment. 

Unbeaten run.

Something to build on.

Forest nearly got them.  Confidence.

It took Stoke's manager best part of a year to make them competitive.

beautiful, well said, here's to lots of tactical game changing tweaks 

i still tend to think of Chris Hughton as being cautious and going back to Watford and maybe before that, there have been a few games where maybe, if he had gambled a bit more we could of won, but having said that, under the circumstances, away and a goal down the draw was good and the chances and strong finnish to the game bode well

Just need something different ahead of that Yates/Sow pivot.

I guess scouting for that is part of Gary's new remit as noted by Sutton.

He does deserve credit oz. I just wonder if we'll see a positive approach like that next game. I hope so.

Credit for reversing his mistake of starting another match with the usual turgid set-up? Well, kind of, but...

[Strawberry Avenger]

And Stoke's excuse for their turgid set up is...?

And their manager has had far more time.

Hard to legislate for Grabban's languid non jump. And Samba covering it with a claim.

But I've got a half eaten Terry's orange. I'll blame the manager for that too.

We get it. You don't like Hughton.

Getting a bit repetitive...?

Work with me here stirred. I'm grasping at any glimmer of hope I can to take into the next game. :)

If it's any consolation, Chris is one win away from catching previous Forest pretenders Warburton and Aitor.
