Strange game, we've been pretty poor but are 2-0 up and should have had a pen. Eccles bar his shot has been shite, number 22 has Mason-Clark in his pocket, and Bobby Thomas keeps giving away silly possession. Two great goals by Torp, but Sakamoto by far our best player.

Very clunky start from us and Stoke looked really sharp, first 15 mins or so.

The goal settled us down

I think Grimes, Saka and Torp have all been outstanding.

Not a red if it’s a pen. 20 yards from me the most obvious pen you’ll see.

Just said on Sky that Mike Dean had said clear penalty and red card on Soccer Saturday. I personally don't think it's a red, but that's from a referee.

Inexplicable refereeing. Grimes coming deep for the ball I like but it does concede a lot of midfield space if the ball’s given away.

Had the penalty been given I would have wanted Torp to take it and he might have had a first half penalty.

It's no coincidence our midfielders are getting into the penalty area and scoring goals.

Slow start, they did a good job nullifying us & looked threatening. Getting the first goal was massive & in control from then on really.

Absolutely apoplectic at that non penalty decision, one of the most blatant you will ever see.

Eccles has, not his fault he's been asked to play in the 10, at times it looks like he's never played football before. mason-clark has also been poor.

this is the problem. They need to make this part of the game where the ref gives an explanation for key decisions after the game

No it probably was but they both go at the ball and the contact is with EMCs outstretched leg - 9 times out of 10 it’s given but it’s not a millwall or shumaker challenge

He really hasn't , he's doing a lot of pressing and showing for the ball well . His passing hasn't always come off but him and Torp are working well together and could both be on the scoresheet

I’ll be honest EMC engaged the contact so therefore doesn’t matter that the keeper came and wiped him out. Probably a foul on the keeper if anything
