Stoke City - Nottingham Forest

[Strawberry Avenger]

Full time.

Two points dropped

Knockaert given Sky’s Man of The Match “outstanding”. Jokers. Their expectations must be low

Or maybe he's not as bad as you think and created our only goal with a quality ball. Ameobi was a ghost, Grabban gifted them a goal but by all means blame Knockaert.

spot on.  Knocker has that touch of quality to deliver a killer ball.

Grabban ducks out of a defensive header and Samba can't claim a ball again.

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

Could actually see some belief to try and go and win it tonight. Samba hardly a shot faced and quite commanding after the goal.
Christie did well defensively and got some crosses in. Figgs last two games has been good, Worrall as always decent, ribs ran his bollocks off. Yates and sow controlled the midfield eventually and Cafu - if he’d have scored that chance he’d have been my MOM - had to score... knockeart got us a point in the end but had enough other chances to find a man in the box.
Ameobi- very poor
Grabban - awful for goal - did OK after
Taylor - lively when he came on...

Cant deny Grabban was awful. Taylor never looks like a goalscorer to me either.

I won't be surprised if Chris brings in something attritional up front.

Jan window can't come soon enough.

Behind the sheep now who seem to have got their shit together. Honestly would take 21st now if you offered it me.

We dont need more players.

More positives to come out of that second half than any game this season for me.

Negatives finishing and final ball still. Needs addressing ASAP in January.

Fair comment.

Cafu and that chance?

Knocker square it to Taylor...?

Signs of Forest flickering to life...?

Hughton has himself said he wants to bring 'some' in to readdress the balance of the squad.

Two assists and a goal in 14 appearances isn’t enough for me.

He was lucky not to pick up another red tonight. 

I’m not blaming Knockaert, technically he was probably the best player on the pitch tonight but that was a low bar

Absolutely

Let’s face it, Stoke were poor, once they were in front they didn’t push for a second, lacked any form of invention and only threatened with Vokes aerially.

The manager has turned them into a competitive team
