REDS CLAIM HARD-FOUGHT POINT IN STOKE BATTLE Match Reports Barnsley took a share of the points after a 1-1 draw with Stoke City tonight. Continue reading on the official site...
Should have lost. We were battered from start to finish. Roy of the Rovers stuff from Collins. Brittain can't beat the first man with crosses he's crap. That should be Adeboyejo's last game up front after that miss. Rubbish. Lucky point. I'm chuffed with a point but cracks are being papered over with staples and plaster board if people think that was great.
I respectfully disagree, especially about Brittain. But then again, since his miss against Swansea in the Play Offs, the only thing you haven't blamed him for is the retreat from Afghanistan!
To be fair it was another game where a masterclass from.collins has got us a point. Victor offered more than odour has all season but the miss was a shocker, he maybe didn't expect Britain to beat the first man with the cross and deliver it to him as he'd struggled all night to do it.
No need for all that, I sum it up thus: Helik failed to make an important block Woodrow caught Bursik on the hop Sam Surridge did a terrible flop Brad Collins made a fantastic stop Tommy Smiths tackle was quite a shock The reactions from everyone were over the top When Dean Holden took the ball from Markus Schopp Three coaches were all sent off Stoke were prevented from going top
I thoroughly enjoyed it. It had allsorts for fans of each side and for neutral watchers. Passion, technical ability, controversy and a world class free kick. On another day we could have lost, on another day we could have won. When this clicks, and I feel that it will, we could be treated to some delightful football.
This is why you have my full respect, old mate. You can dish it out and are just as happy to receive it. Also, when you post rubbish (which we all do), you're honest enough to admit it.
