Yes, using the long ball well.

Does Sky red button not use local radio commentators or something? So you tend to get biased commentary for the home team? I might be wrong, it's happened at least once before.

They must do

This Stoke side is huge, set pieces were always going to be difficult

Churlinov not a patch on Zaroury,

Wow. Someone is going to get hurt if this ref doesn't get a grip here.

It is iplayer commentry from the home team.

Ashley Barnes is doing well to say he is dealing with scraps

Conroysleftfoot · Post by **Conroysleftfoot** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 8:28 pm

Stoke working very hard, might just catch up with them in the second half.

Jeez, it’s his first bit of football for 4 months and first ever start for us! And it’s only been 45 min

Longsider · Post by **Longsider** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 8:29 pm

Stoke score goals. The fact the haven't so far bodes well as defensively they are poor and we will capitalise as the game moves on..... Fingers and toes crossed

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 8:29 pm

I get wound up sometimes as the easiest way to beat the press is to up the tempo, and we don't.

need to play some keep ball

No yellow cards allowed for Stoke?

Commy · Post by **Commy** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 8:30 pm

I think they have realised the ref is a homer. They will get away with more than us.

Benson looking class again. And a decent cross from
Darko.

Pickles · Post by **Pickles** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 8:31 pm

We've been the better team. It just hasn't been as smooth because Stoke have done what an actual football team should do - identify the opposition's weaknesses. For the first time in weeks a side is actually pressing Burnley, utilising set pieces, and playing more long balls.

Longsider · Post by **Longsider** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 8:31 pm

Stoke have probably been the stronger team this half. But we are growing into the game

RVclaret · Post by **RVclaret** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 8:35 pm

We’ve done ok. Not as much threat in behind as of yet. Thought this would be a tighter game than some were expecting.

Croydon Claret · Post by **Croydon Claret** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 8:35 pm

No real chances in that half but I would say that Stoke are playing their usual physical game, so maybe that's not surprising.

However, we haven't unleased our second half on them yet so all to be play for yet

Hmm wouldn’t say so. They’ve pressed well though. Forwards and midfield working very hard.

Sheedyclaret · Post by **Sheedyclaret** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 8:36 pm

Really poor that some sloppy performances hopefully much improved 2nd half

dougcollins · Post by **dougcollins** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 8:36 pm

If the Churlinov choice was an experiment, it hasn't worked.

jedi_master · Post by **jedi_master** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 8:36 pm

They’re playing us well, pressing and not allowing our midfield any time on the ball to get our passing game going. They’ve been good.

Churlinov trying too hard to impress in his rare moments in possession, showing too much of the ball. Possibly give him ten minutes then look to Tella/Zaroury. Barnes has done OK.

tally · Post by **tally** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 8:37 pm

Came back into it a bit towards end of the half

Stoke should be winning. They have been the more effective side.

But we have got better.

Churlinov and Brownhill haven’t really affected the game yet. One of them probably needs swapping out in the second half.

Benson has looked sharp as always

Radio Stoke, ex player saying that the ref is rubbish and Stoke is well in control

tiger76 · Post by **tiger76** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 8:37 pm

Not our usual blustering self in that 1st half, however it's still 0-0 and we have plenty of ammo to bring off the bench.

Thought tonight might be tricky and it's proving so.

beddie · Post by **beddie** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 8:38 pm

They’re physical as expected. We need to counter that with pace. Zaouray on and Churlinov off. With Barnes being on a yellow I’d sub him for Jay.

LoveCurryPies · Post by **LoveCurryPies** » Fri Dec 30, 2022 8:38 pm

Half time changes please. Jay for Barnes.

Agree muric has been busier than the stoke goalie. They are committing numbers into attack and breaking up our attacks with jiggly fouls etc. Barnes has put himself about, i can see why Vinny picked him to start in this. Our left side of churlinov and maatsen not as effective, looks like maatsen has been told to hold a defensive line rather than free rein..
