[Fergal]

I predict a high scoring game. 2-1

t

can anyone give us a brief description of this wondergoal.

Nice one-two on the edge of the box, Weimann gets back and curls it into the far corner. Beautiful.

Any new streams ?

It's a good job that Stoke are rubbish. We look very ordinary and understandably tense.

Great goal from Andy. The only creativity is coming from Ireland who helped make the goal.

[Matt Collins]

A great goal. Otherwise a really poor game and a poor performance. Our shape is all over the place. Bannan's not helping by drifting so much, and Lichaj is playing very badly. Ireland looks the man most likely to make things happen. If N'Zogbia is anywhere near fit, I'd get him on sharpish.

Given looks to be really struggling against the set pieces. Baker and Collins solid enough. Would like to see Gardner come into midfield too relatively soon in, probably for Bannan. Although in a game of very low quality, Bannan's set pieces do look a threat.

I like Etherington as a player. Much better than someone like Jarvis as an option for me.

I predict Valium will be distributed free of charge to help people through the 2nd 45.

Wonder what time we will park the Heskey bus?  I am going for 65 mins...

Hardly one for the future though?

Time for a hobnob and a cuppa

[Villanation]

Think we are doing what we did against Liverpool, Given looks a bit shakey, Bannan not focused, Gabby leading well from the front and yet again doing a lot of work getting back.

Great goal from Andy but we need to get more creative and pick the game up if not for ourselves then for everyone else looking at this.

I woke up from a bank holiday afternoon nap, scrambled to my computer to get a stream up to find we're winning. The goal sounds like it was special, great to see weimann starting. Can't really judge our place from the 10 minutes i've seen, but what I saw was a team defending and throwing themselves on the line to stop them scoring

[pauliewalnuts]

You just know that we are going to spend at least the last 20 minutes grimly hanging on for dear life.

[Monty]

Just like the Liverpool game, so far. One moment of quality, then bombardment from the opposition. Can't keep doing this.

[kippaxvilla2]

at the risk of repetition why have we kicked off at 5.30?

Bannan's a very frustrating player isn't he? Lacks mental discipline I think. Not helped by the lack of movement around him of course.

I wonder if Weimann is going to be ok following his knock.
