Was reading comments made by Stoke fans about today's match. Guess what they tend to moan quite a bit too. There's just no pleasing some people.

Although it was a good defensive performance its Another 2 points dropped at home and out of the top 6 after playing with 10 men , AK making poor decisions again , we should have been on the front foot why have we waited 4 months to sign Ansarisfard to keep him on the bench while Carvalho was a total passenger , whether we've paid £13 million or 13 pence he should have been replaced long before the 86 minutes but not with Dias , once again you've got to question AK's tactics and his comment on radio Nottm saying he bought Yacob on so we didn't lose is baffling we are at home and if we want promotion we should be looking to win

Exactly what I think, he’s far too negative esp at home, you wouldn’t mind that away, does he really think that drawing all the time when it’s a tight game is going to get us promoted? Say if 3 draws were turned into 2 wins and a loss we would be 3 pts better off in the table

Was interested to hear how carvalho played. Yet again sounds ominous. Fancy leaving anasfared kn the bench when even the Bbc said they expect him to feature at some point. I kept checking to see if carvalaho would be teplaced with ansafared with 25 mins to go. As he wasn't i assumed carvalaho was having a blinder????

Judge AK in January not before. He may have negative tactics but is it 6 championship games with none conceded ? I think our approach to get into the playoffs or automatic slots is going to be correct. The Iranian player is obviously not yet fit. When Geddy was on he was often in the opposition half attacking. Yacob did not stray from his half

Carvalho got a couple of decent shots away. 1 blocked and 1 saved. Butland pulled 2 decent saves off and the one from Lolley was excellent although Grabban should have scored but took too long to shoot. Still can't fathom krankie's substitutions. As skegby mentioned we should going for the win and not sit back and accept a point at home with 15 minutes left.

I'm not sure about it being a negative home performance or that we threw 2 points away. I'd rather think that it's taking some time for the team to settle and gel. We have now a very good defence and Pants made two really good saves as did their goalie.
I agree that we need another left back in case Robbo is out for any reason, and we have to be patient with Carvalho and Dias who are good players but need more luck on the ball. For me Goncalves just hasn't got it.
I also agree we need a creative midfielder as well as Carvalho and to me that person, presently being ignored is Osborn.
If Yacob cements his place I think Watson will only be a back up for him and Colback.
We are not yet the perfect team we want the Reds to be, but judging by the last 15 minutes of this game we are getting much closer, especially if we can keep Lolley and Cash fit.

Carvallhio was anonymous for most of the game waste of a shirt

Have to agree about Carvallhio,we simply cannot afford to play anyone in this league with ten men. sooner or later this will come back to bite us on the a"*e!!

Cash was was bullied and out musceled most of the game and he's been brought up in the English game. The foreign lads will need more than a couple of months to come to terms with the physical approach in this league

Why is it only our ‘foreign lads’ seem to need months to acclimatise? Didn’t seem to take the wolves lads too long , has it ever crossed your mind they might not be good enough??

So why bring players to this league if they are not up to it. Utter nonesense. For me carvallho and Dias are passengers. For all their supposed skill their 2nd touch is generally a tackle. They have had the thick end of 5 months to toughen up not two. Cash is not the finished article yet, tougher than those two but still a lot to learn. He gets dropped why no carvalaho?
Ansafared should have been given game time yesyerday he is bigger than graban and technically gifted with quicker feet than graban.

Rutland,Stevie just interested to know how good your Portuguese is and how you might find going to live and work in another country at a young age. Communication is quite important in football and as this improves so will the link up play.

Perks thanks for your interest ,lol spent a lot ot time in Czech rep and picked up workable conversational Czech in a reasonable amount of time had I worked there full time like these lads would have been ok much quicker. what’s so special about these 3 that they’re taking longer than the wolves lads??? Think they are plainly not as good ,and anyway it’s not like they’re serving in a shop! A bad 1st touch or a misplaced pass don’t depend on linguistic skills, the kings naked but some of you just don’t want to see it,

Who ever said they are as good as the wolves lads? That is your problem.Maybe they won't be good enough that's why 2 are on loan.At the minute Carvalho is on course for 15 + assists for the season which I think will be good going.Yet again we didn't win so rip into the Portuguese again 😴😴😴

Ain’t my problem, I didn’t pay 13.2mill for him, and don’t tell me you didn’t expect something similar to the wolves lads,I thought yesterday wasn’t too bad but carvallhio wasn’t a factor most of the game,

Don't think it's that the Portuguese lads are that bad it's just a negative set up they play in and not what they are used to,if your being honest yesterday cash went to ground every time he got the ball,calvahalo does stay on his feet and if ak dropped one of the defensive midfielders then we might see a better player.
Alas that won't happen.
We'll be hard to beat but never win convincingly

Ff the point is surely mate the club didn’t pay that sort of fee expecting him to be a little better than cash who can’t even get a regular start, what gets me is nobody even seems prepared to admit they’re disappointed with him even when it’s clearhis contribution is nowhere near what many expected
