If it wasn’t for some brilliant last ditch defending by qpr players on our goal line, it could have been 6. 😂 |

Just watched the extended highlights, boy oh boy what a game! Stand out player for me: Ryan Manning. He was on fire in that game, clearly that short break from playing in the first team has done him good, he looks like he's channeling Andrew Robertson - fabulous crosses and that back heel pass, ole!

I would strongly argue that you have that very wrong, some of our close quarter passing was different gravy especially in those conditions. It was finishing that was the poorest, their first goal was very well taken after a wicked deflection and, in all honesty, due to his height, I think Lumley would have saved Clucas' goal; it was right in front of me and Kelly just wasn't tall enough to reach it despite his hand being in the right position to get a touch. A special mention to Geoff Cameron, who must have some old scores to settle with Stoke, as he was superb today alongside Ball, they owned the midfield and Geoff looked like he wanted to get on the score sheet too. I would probably give him or Manning MOTM even though Eze was unplayable and a different class today at times, it has become almost normal now for him to be the best player on the pitch. Not going to argue a lot but I think the game was full of easy mistakes from both teams and defences were far too open and disorganized. But it was entertaining. A little better opponent and we would have lost 0-4. The game didn't fill me with any confidence. Eze and Bos wont be here next season |

It wasn't that long ago that the same Stoke team beat West Brom at the Hawthorns, I don't think we were a playing a poor team, I believe that we had players that unnerved them. |

Think your wrong on this one too. just read the oat cake matchday thread......... the stoke fans, even at 2-1 up, predicted that they would lose. Even they know that their defense is utter rot. |

On paper they look great but on the field they were not that good. The boy Campbell looked lively and will at some point play in a better side. I watched them play WBA and have to say not seen Bilic's side play as poorly as they did that night. Very little created in that game.
