PieFacE Posted April 6, 2013 VT Supporter Share Posted April 6, 2013 Really needed a second there. Stoke can't be that bad, and we will definitely concede. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Farlz Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 A fairly solid 1st half but this is now I get worried, we've got to push on in the 2nd half and not sit back! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

samjp26 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I think the new Nike boots are causing quite a few slips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poitier Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 That was a good half, so expect us to be rubbish in the second. Think we might have needed to convert one of those other chances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AValon Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 N'Zogbia for Bowery might work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted April 6, 2013 Moderator Share Posted April 6, 2013 I think the Stoke groundsman's desire to make a surface unfit for a passing game might be causing quite a few slips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomaszk Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Missed out big time in that first half. Would take a point now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCforever1991 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Stoke are the lowest scorers in the PL, if we can get 1 more we should win this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Borgs Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Decent half. Should've, not could've, had two. Stoke were gradually coming back in to it but it's actually not due to increased impetus or intensity on their part. We're going to have to convert on the counter if we continue to play the way we were in the second quarter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted April 6, 2013 Moderator Share Posted April 6, 2013 Although we're one up and we've created a number of other chances, I'm not sure the formation is working and Bowery has struggled to get into it as much he'd like - I think it also restricts Weimann a little - maybe Sylla on for the second half?

Czechlad Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Why is Bowery in there? He has done nothing all half. I understand that Lambert wants to catch Stoke on the counter, but why not put in N'Zogbia who is fast and not a League 1 footballer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KHV Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I will start with the positives which are we are winning and stoke are atrocious. The negatives are that this game should be over already, we should be 3 up and i hope that doesnt come back to bite us on the arse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 I'm a little disappointed its only 1-0 to be honset. Although I probably would have taken that at the start of the game. Stoke are absolutely horrendous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSV Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Id like Bent to come on for Bowery. Benteke going in the 'wide' Bowery role and Bent central. Put some crosses into Daz and see him bury them. Be positive PL.. no more central midfielders coming on doing nothing please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
briny_ear Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Stoke are playing so woefully it will be verging on a criminal offence if we don't get 3 points from this. I worry that, as so often before, we haven't got more than 1 goal out of a period of almost total dominance. Let's hope Lambert can drill them to go for early goals in the 2nd half and for the defence not to have one of their typical 45-90 experiences.

OutByEaster? Posted April 6, 2013 Moderator Share Posted April 6, 2013 Missed out big time in that first half. Would take a point now. Really?!? If we score early in the second half I think they'll go to pieces and we could be looking at a hatful. Our goal difference could really do with that.

mikeyp102 Posted April 6, 2013 Share Posted April 6, 2013 Good first half, shame we couldn't get a second as could really see the stoke heads dropping if we had.. Gabby having a good half, even though that dive was bad. More of the same second half Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
