Good. No place for that. Plenty of other stuff to abuse Stoke players about. Like the fact they play for Stoke.

Sad that this still happens but good work by everyone involved to deal with it so quickly.

Great result but I was really disappointed with Stoke as for all their possession they just moved the ball backwards and sidewards with vey little penetration.

All I can think is that this is the 4th season in 5 where we have reached February and still have something positive to play for - promotion/play offs. And even last season's survival was just a necessary bridging season to the new level were at.

And we are much better established than under the various managers in charge before we wentdown - Coleman, Bothroyd, Thorne, Dowie. There was never a sense then that there was a coherent plan that might work. And that this progress has been made with bugger all money just shows what is possible. Sometimes in the past I've thought we might be in League 1 for keeps.

Success can be fleeting in football - see Barnsley, Reading, Derby. It could easily go pear shaped next season, But it looks like we are comfortable as a top half Championship side at least for the time being. It's a platform...

Sheaf and JCS class last night. Allen full of energy. Great to see Gyokeres score again.

Thought that last night was a very professions solid performance. The team played well throughout. Stand outs were Sheaf (MOTM), Clarke-Salter and Hyam. The rest were solid 7 out of 10's

What pleased me was to see how organised and disciplined we were without the ball. Yes Waghorn & OHare made immediate impact but the platform had been established to frustrate Stoke every time they had the ball. There was one passage of play 2nd half where Stoke moved the ball from side to side across their defence and were given nowhere to go by the CCFC set up. Stoke got frustrated and created little if anything up front.

Very good performance by CCFC, maybe not as fluent and flowing as Saturday but in its nature just as impressive

We paid on the gate last night and were in block 25, some "fan" came and sat 2 seats up from us and the 1st thing he said to me was "If we lose tonight that's me for the season cos we won't make the play-offs". What an idiot? We came down and watched 2 games and whilst we were better on saturday this is a team we should all be proud of and getting behind and I wish I could get to every game. When I left the ground on saturday I couldn't believe how well we had played and whilst we lost I was still glad that I went. Before saturday I thought we would end the season in midtable and I still think we won't make the play-offs but if we start scoring a few more of our chances we could get very close. I am envious of all of you that live close enough to go regularly, if you can go to the game then go and watch this team run their hearts out for CCFC and us fans.

Really impressed last night. Thought we looked nervy first 15 mins, and with key players missing, we were never going to play as well as on Saturday, but the team grew into the game. Thought Gyks was always a danger despite things not running for him 1st half. Hyam, JCS, Allen & Sheaf all excellent. Eccles did a good job, but I hope he gets his chance in midfield eventually as he doesn't have the pace for a wingback. Hamer frustrating. Shipley quiet. Surely O'Hare starts for Shippers on Sat, and Kane for Eccles, otherwise same team.

Kane yes, but Maatsen not so much. Think it was 'back training Thursday' for him, so I doubt it, but you never know.

Perception a funny thing…I actually thought their fans were pretty noisy until last quarter (but I was surprised not to hear ‘Delilah’). And I thought our fans good but mainly responded to them.

They did one loudish rendition of Delilah early in the first half, and one half hearted effort too. They got progressively more subdued.

I've haven't had a season ticket since we left HR, been living up here since 2003. Did move up and bought a guest house in Inverness though.

They were very quiet in last 15 minutes considering they were still in the match, I thought they would have been noisier throughout.

It's ridiculous that he's allowed so much air time....or any air time. CWR should only allow callers who have been to the game.

Hee hee, so true. But you try and explain to them how what they are objecting to isn't Marxism by a long chalk and see how far you get!

Yep. Really annoyed me. We'd been under a bit of pressure, managed to force a throw and it was the perfect time to just take a breather, instead he invited pressure back onto us

Love this vid. Wilson is clearly mad. Vik knew it was in the moment he shot. Must be such a buzz hearing the fans sing your song to you.
