His pace is his limitation but he is a solid, aggressive defender who reads the game well. I mentioned on another thread, I don't believe Keiffer Moore would have bullied him as he did Woolfie, despite Lati being a lot shorter. I remember Preston away last season where he was brilliant and one...

He is frustrating to watch much of the time because when he is on it, he is one of the best championship strikers (and Premiership quality). However, he is off it far too often. The Stoke performance I think was his worst since Sunderland playoffs. Unfortunately, although I hope he will play...

Absolutely a legitimate goal, but it is the type of situation where I could imagine a ref disallowing it. Would have been a travesty if he had.

I just felt it was so slow and lacked offensive quality, until Mason-Clark's incredible strike. Very well managed once we went ahead though.

Awful, awful game. Great, great result.

Van Ewijk was the standout player. Thought he was superb. Wright was dreadful again. Cannot say he hasn't had any service today. His reactions are so slow it is so frustrating. Stoke do not look anything special but I imagine they will be better second half.

The first three words was all that was needed

Imagine at the start of season if we were told that on game 15 we would play the second placed team, and irrespective of the result we would be above them!

Sakamoto is full of confidence and it shows. He was a little one dimensional under Robins but now much more variation.

What a difference second half. Thomas-Asante didn't have his best game but far more effective in the 10. Love it when Jamie Allen can have a few minute cameo and still affect the game.

DaSilva booked for dissent. Shortly after Mee does similar and nothing. Then O'Hare repeatedly and again nothing. No consistency.

Outfought again. Can't think of any individual who has played well. We look nervous on the ball. No composure. Wright should have scored but would have been lucky to go in level. So sloppy with offsides too. Thomas-Asante is wasted on the left. Think Mason-Clark needs to come on for second half...

I think it is great having different types of players in this position. Although they are very much suited to the side of the pitch they play on, I think because of their different styles it would worth them switching flanks on occasions in games.
