Not directed at me, you were arguing as usual with RF99 and Im stating the bleedin' obvious but most people commented we were in such a poor position we really needed six points, or as an absolute bare minimum four points, from the last two home games. We've got one. Therefore, obviously, the point today was a poor result. We needed the win even more desperately than we would have done had we won in midweek.

Yeah. Above us in the table. As you're presumably being critical of Eustace, you must be even more so of Ismael?

Completely disagree there. Properly run we're no less attractive a proposition than any other non parachute team trying to get into the PL They're all a licence to lose shitloads of money.

He pushes the ball straight back out in front of him. Lucky he wasn't punished today.

I think he's poor. Coin toss between him and Pears. Not the major issue though. Cantwell and Alebiosu apart we lack any real quality anywhere over the pitch. That Emerald Isle Chap who thought Ohashi would get 15-20 goals this season has gone a bit quiet.

"If my Aunty had balls......"

Wish we had the Stoke keeper, it'd make a world of difference. One of the best I've seen, including the Prem.

No we didnt. Apart from the result not standing there were still 10- 15 mins to go.

Id take touch and go -I think we look nailed on to go down. Unless the manager changes.

Tbf that last 10 -15 mins was much more like it. Shouldn't have to wait until the 80th minute and a goal down to see a performance though. Well done Cantwell and De Neve.

Into October and are we on course for our first home League point? Maybe this is what Gestede meant when he said it would be "exciting". Edit: That's taking the piss out of Gueye bringing him on with 2 mins to go.

Can't head a ball though seemingly. What a chance.

He mishit it but it worked out perfectly - right in the side netting. Edit - he caught that one though!

Brilliant from Cantwell. Becoming the sort of player we expected last season. Due to the lack of reaction from Kargbo I thought the whistle had already gone.

TGH is not vaguely in the same League as Travis and (imo) as I've always said we're seeing how good Tronstad really is now without Travis alongside him to do all the donkey work.

Exiled sneered at me on Wednesday for saying I couldnt see any hope because imo there's just no-one in the team you can turn to for a bit of inspiration. If he's saying a major difference is Eustace v Ismael though Id have a lot of sympathy for that viewpoint.

That particular thing is down to lack of desire not ability.

Morishita high fiving everyone on the way back to his seat in the dug out. Did I miss something and we're actually three up?

Why isnt anyone following in the Cantwell shot?

My thoughts exactly.

There we go. Didn't take long. Shocking from Ribeiro and Toth made it easy for the Stoke player by going to ground too early.

Very good. Probably won't matter, Ryan will miss a sitter, Balazs will throw one in his own net and Sorba will seal the deal.

Only caught the last 15 mins of the half, we didnt look particularly good but had one or two chances. Sadly looks as though the only realistic threat of a goal comes from Cantwell. Thomas putting a much better shift in than he ever did us. Looked like he really didnt want to be here when he was with us. Toth fortunate when he parried the shot straight back out in front of him before the end of the half. Given the pitch problems apt choice of music just then playing Gimmee Shelter by the Rolling Stones......"Oooo the storm is rising"

Fair enough!

Why on earth do you you refer to him by his first name? I could almost understand it if he'd been here years and was our best player but he's only been here 2 mins and looks miles out of his depth. No one ever used to call Shearer "Alan". It sounds borderline stalkerish. Lol.
