Bye bye Shipley...thanks for the memories and for the wonder goal vs QPR..unfortunately Championship is a step too far.

He's played a decent number of games in the Championship which he'll remember when his career is over whether he manages it again or not

Jones looked alot physically stronger. But he also looked knackered at the end. Will be curious to see what happens with him

To not even play 90 minutes over 46 games is quite damning

Did he? We didn’t touch the ball for the last 10 mins, only time he touched ball was the give it away and turn it back to stoke

The more this commentator says hymen the more I cringe. How fucking hard is it to get a name right. I know Clive isn't great but he tends to get it right as well as wrong in a match.

Didn't think Jones looked at all out of his depth. Always looking to get on the ball, looked strong on it, moved it quickly and accurately.

Clearly watched different game then, ok he looked for space but what did he do on the ball? He went back every time what happened to the jones that picked the ball up and drove at the defence ?

If they can do it, we can. I'd argue we already have a better group of players. Need to sort the defence, and need to make the most of the chances we have.

Score more, concede less. Easy.

Jones played well. .I really hope we keep him, he looked like he'd bulked up a bit as well. Could be ok at this level if given some game time?

I love the lad, but I have to admit that he needs to move on, he's just taking up a squad place if he stays.

What would be the point really for club and player? We’re only going to try and strengthen the squad and he couldn’t get a game this year. It’s heading towards 6 years since he last started a league match!

Whatever people might say about the CWR coverage - this is how hard the guys work. Completely empty press box and only Clive and Oggy left - I think they’ve been brilliant especially when you compare to other clubs’ commentary.

Stoke fans poor show with Eccles when he was injured , some good football on show today , we looked good in large parts , good to see godden on the pitch again , almost created the winner with a superb ball .. Kelly played well considering the amount of minutes he's played .. same old with us really

Having listened to the coverage from a few other stations, theirs is easily one of the best. Clive is a very even-handed guy as is Oggy. The other BBC local stations sound like they are run by the clubs themselves

It's the concede less I feel we need to sort. Probably need more goals around the team too. Midfield don't score enough.

"We all want to be there, we all want to be in those playoffs", I thought he was going to say promotion places or Premier League. Best to limit ambition though, innit?

I agree. I've listened to quite a few. It was a genuine surprise how good Oggy really is. Very calm, measured and provides quality insight from a very experienced professional footballer perspective.
Clive has improved a lot to his credit and I've started to really quite like him. He seems to have good values . I can let him off on his mistakes, I make them too although not quite as many!

For someone like myself who lives miles away, I've enjoyed Clive and oggy. The godden winner against Bristol City and tavares equaliser commentaries were quality

Goodbye Shippers. Great servant to the club over 130 games through the league's and scored in all leagues he played in. Also in the very small club of a Coventry player to score at Wembley.

Yeah, 100%, Oggy has made a massive difference & I think Clive's performance has improved as a result too. Aside from the hilarious mix up of names (and pulling the ball boys off at half-time ) he's not bad at all really.
