Our away matches are hard as nails, arse, 'pool & chelski, so we have to make sure our home games bring in some points. And the daft thing is that home games seem to be difficult for us, even the seemingly easier ones. Why is this ?
That was pretty dire especially after such a positive start. I think both Hughes and the players were at fault, the 3 at the back worked initially but should have been changed at half time and the subs were too late to have an effect on the game. All the goals were individual errors and you simply can't defend like that at this level. On another day that could have been 2-0 Stoke.
Shawcross is finished. We need to sell him in January. He's a liability and I've been saying it since Huth left.
