Mve should be fine he was still sprinting around after his injury.

Looked like it may of just been to freshen things up given it happened in the 80th minute? Hopefully! EMC is a shame but least we have Wright coming back but losing MVE would be a huge blow...

Didn't really see the 3rd goal as my son was in tears...apparently he's not good with loud noises.

He's not coming to Wembley with me!

Stuck in the traffic waiting to drive back South. Safe journeys home everyone..

What a result!

Much better than Bidwell was last game.

He was tidy in possession but defensively pretty shaky

Disagree tbh. But people will see what they want.

 

[Jamesimus]

you sure?

He’s right. He had a good game after the first 10 mins.

 

[Shannerz]

you sure?

I thought he had a very good game, too.

Can the Stoke fans get a refund for those flares?

9 wins out of 10. Just to be devil’s advocate here. How many of those wins did we deserve? Still can’t decide if we have improved or if this is a confidence bubble that will be burst with a loss?

Most of them, if not by much.

Only Sheffield Wednesday was truly lucky.

Stoke won on xG, for anyone interested. It’s a pointless but popular stat.

I bet their fans are as buzzing about that as I used to be after being told we'd won on xG after losing the actual game again and again.

I’m declaring my love for Bobby Thomas

 

[bukayosakamoto]

I’m not being dramatic, but Bobby Thomas has to be in contention for the ballon dor

I don’t think so but do think a better side will punish us.

All of them.

Car Park A not moving again FFS. Has someone lamped a steward again?

Having seen the replay several times it’s not as clear cut

 

[Danceswithhorses]

Wright offside in lead up to winner. Evens out the pen

Gallacher was offside for the equaliser

 

[David O'Day]

All of them.

Yep we scored more goals 9 out of 10

Lampard a steward as well. He's here He's there

He did well generally defensively but had his usual moment of being caught square in the first few minutes

 

[Gint11]

Cracking win. Done it the hard way again. Performances don’t matter if we keep getting over the line. Although we are at fault for conceding two goals, that penalty decision was bonkers and if given and score, it’s 3-0 and a completely different game.

on to the next….

 

[duffer]

You don't have to pop it. I am not saying he has ruptured it.

In fairness, the initial reaction from a few was that it was a serious injury. I don't think it's unreasonable to point out that it's unlikely that he's ruptured his Achilles if he's walking around.

I've seen a few go in my time, it's a classic old boy injury - you don't generally walk around afterwards trying to loosen them off, let alone run on them.

We lost to Leeds no bubble bursting there

He gave a foul when emc tried to over head kick and made no contact

Be interesting to see that yet again as I thought EMC was moving towards their goal. His foot was up to try and flick the goal over their keeper who then wiped EMC out. An overhead kick as such would have been a clearance.

Just seen it again, I still think it as as above so it could have been viewed as dangerous play by EMC before he got clattered by their goalie.

Over protected again ole, ole.

Would a free kick have been awarded for that in the centre circle? Im not convinced considering some of the stuff people seem to get away with.

Just seen Robins interview. Very familiar to when he was here.

Lampard out!

Maybe evens out their offside goal.

 

[RegTheDonk]

Watch Torp for their first goal, jogging back as players run past him.

Still a bit Rusty

Derby 2 up against Blackburn in 7 mins. That is how an old manager comes back to haunt an old club!

Going to be a tricky game on Tuesday

Sheff Utd are playing rubbish most weeks and winning and no one is questioning whether they deserve them, for them it's just the sign of a good team

 

[ajsccfc]

I was worried about Dasilva as he looks like he can be easily outmuscled but I'm another who thought he played well today
