The 2nd was far worse than the 1st

Agree thought the first was well taken.

Stoke look solid at the moment unfortunately, uninspiring and boring but solid, be impressed if we get anything from this now...

Such a shame that we conceded that second as we would have been in the ascendency 2nd half if we had gone in at 1-1. Just a thought about how shaky we look at crosses, they have been great crosses to players around the six yard line. A bigger keeper would have come out and claimed them. Ryan tends to stay on his line and it's put pressure on the CBs.

The only reason I was feeling confident tonight is we have similar teams and won and if we lose it won't be the end of the world but I actually think this is the bets we've looked going forward it just seems we pay the price in defence so this may result in us going back to defensive... which while effective is less fun :)

the shackles seem to be off Propper tonight but against manure he'll be back deeper.

I haven't seen defending like that in a while. Absolutely gutting to pull it back and then concede like that. We need to grow a pair and stop flapping about.

Shocking defending for both goals. More to come unless they sort their shit out.
Stoke look very ordinary, we shouldn't be behind.

Jesus F Christ. Defending 101.
I remember being told not to watch the attacking player's shoulders or hips and always react to the movement of the ball.
Shaqiri is the exception to the rule as his hips don't lie.

I cant believe these pundits commentators - they seem to have a collective blindness. Murray falls on the ball with his hands after the penalty shout and it never crosses the goal line. They are all looking at it and saying its either a corner or a goal kick. It never crossed the line! Its either a penalty or a free kick for handball.

We really need to pull our socks up. We'll be lucky to get a point if we do not improve in the second half.

Stoke deserve the lead just and our defence can't be super every week :)
If we get anything out of this game we would've done very well indeed but think stoke will take the points yet again against us 3-2.

I know what you mean but his finishing is absolutely dreadful. AK hasn't started the season how he or we would have liked but I trust him to finish more often than not
Take the 'dreadful finishing' Jose off and keep the non shooting AK on?

Disagree. Unusually, we've defended poorly, otherwise we're doing ok. Onwards.

I disagree with your disagreement. This is such an un-Hughton-like Albion performance it makes me wonder what the hell I'm watching!
