Stoke goal disallowed for bundling Vig into the net. Came from a hilarious Clay moment.

Clay in at RWB do you think?
Seems like he is injured.

Smith looks very dangerous

Mitchell looks like he has enjoyed Christmas

We’re sitting quite deep, but offering a decent threat on the occasions we get forward.

We have known that we need someone there for weeks! Should have had a replacement ready when the window opened

Probably is clay is getting exposed for pace, then Mitchell next to him isn't quick either

Disagree.

Clay has been caught out a couple of times - including the goal - but it’s not for pace, it’s his anticipation. He didn’t read Doughy was going to take that ball on his head first time.

HT playing well - but we're away and that means missing sitters.

Exactly, we needed a RB weeks ago, the team is also made weaker by taking our best in form CM out of position and play him at RB.

My thoughts at half time
We're sitting too deep, and allowing them to attack us at will
Drinan should be shot for missing a piss easy header
We are more than capable of getting back into this

Despite all the whinging and whining above, that was a great first half from us and we should be level at least.

Well played boys.

Yes positive 1st half and Stoke are very fortunate to be leading 1-0 at HT

We've had a number of chances or half-chances and wasted all of them.

Drianian and Smith must be the only goalscorers that have 12 each but you'd have no actual confidence in them taking a chance
