Crap start, crap goal.

Turned it around, deserved to win, could have had at least 4.

Charsley was class. Garrity below his usual levels. We've blantantly robbed Harrogate for Connor Hall, robbed. Talking of Harrogate, Swindon lol.

Hope Fleetwood's taxi sized away following enjoyed their timewasting and throwing themselves to the ground from the 6th minute onwards as I didn't.

Not surprised to see the officals at this level are still as useless as they were at the last one.

Onwards.

Garrity took a knock early on and was limping quite heavily, I was surprised he wasn't taken off.

Would like to hear what improvements were noticed around the ground. For me the sound system, wow! Also, anyone see any delays getting in? Thought?

Att at Derby 31K, Weds 26K, that is what we are up against,  but 8k was a grand effort when some people are on holiday and only a sparse away attendance

Didn't sound too different in the railway but it did making 'popping' noises again after FT during a song being played. Keep hold of that receipt Carol.

Dont normally comment, but thought I'd give it a go.
1. Rabbits in headlights first 15 mins, but got a grip afterwards.
2. Benning MOM for me, but others were up there.
3. No panic moments, and Management team have clearly got them listening.
4. Referee as bad as anything we had last season including Trevor. Very biased and inconsistent.
5. Ojo, Holden and Mcdermott all very steady and should fit the system.
6. Hope Vale appeal Smith yellow card. A yellow card is for only 6 reasons :-
Unsportman-like behaviour
Dissent by word or deed
Repeated infringement of the rules
Delaying the restart of play
Not maintaining the correct distance from a corner or free-kick.
Leaving or re-entering the field of play without the referee’s permission.
Clearly none of those fit the circumstances. If the referee deemed it be foulplay then surely it should have been a red card. A yellow. Simply doesn't fit.

I saw the incident and it was caused by the the Fleetwood player turning his head into Smith as Smith jumped. It was not a foul. If it was, should have been a red for dangerous play.. referee was poor.



 

You can’t appeal a yellow card

Dont think his dad would approve

There should be a like very much button on here

The referee was Peter Wright. I have renamed him Peter Wrong.

Thought Forrester looked sound and what a great reception. Interesting for Stokies that both Millwall goals came from centre half going AWOL whilst their 'starlet' has chosen to cross the city and immediately got his career back on track.

Yep a brief but impressive sub appearance, during which he made a good tackle on the deck and a good headed interception of a cross into the box.

I noticed that Clarke was very praising of Forrester's first few days training this week, stating what a 'top player' he looks.

Reckon its only a matter of time before he's a starter very soon, though in who's place is the question (likely Cass?)

Would two Wright's have still made a wrong?

There are loads of improvements. Well done. But the Lorne Street toilets had not been cleaned properly and a dryer still doesn't work. I hope calling it as I see it is helpful.

I still think we need a new keeper. Although Stone had nothing to do I do think he should be doing better for their goal. 

[jeffers]

For those with their glasses half full we are only four places behind Sjoke. For those half empty that’s three points clear of the relegation teams. Hope you enjoyed life back in division 1, shame some still cannot comment on the good result.

[Warren]

Overall I thought we deserved to win after being sluggish at the start. I thought Fleetwood were decent League 1 fayre but likely to be nearer the bottom than top. Therefore we can't get too pleased with ourselves.
