AnglianRed 6,229 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Okay now I can properly relax. Powell off for an early Batth? For his first game in charge, this was a hell of a result. Still plenty to work on, but from what I was able to see the players showed a lot more commitment and desire. Showed a bit of creativity going forward and weren't afraid to express themselves. Warnock said one of the main things he wanted to do was instill some confidence in the lads. Looks like it worked. We weren't brilliant for large parts of the game, but Stoke were surprisingly poor, considering they were playing at home. We could have been 3-0 up at half time, with better finishing (or worse Stoke defending). Not surprisingly the 2nd half was a lot tougher, but they still failed to find the net. Thank god Tav was able to grab a second and settle my nerves. Shout out to Stojanovic - made some crucial saves. Looked a bit rusty at times, but so did everyone to be honest. I'm sure we will improve considerably as the players get more game time under their belts. Thank you Neil...you worked a minor miracle today! Think its safe to say it was better than any of us dared hope for. The seeds of our revival have been sown. 4 Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Get in there, great result. Took advantage of a shocking Stoke performance and really, tactically we did well and deserved it. Difficult to pick a man of the match, some decent performances in there, thought Fry, Howson, Fletch, Tav and Britt all played well. I'd give it to Britt, though. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Skinemrippers 894 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Brilliant! Will boost the confidence, clean sheet, quick attacking play. I like it! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
thomas 501 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Thanks Warnock for simplifying the tactics, getting selection right and working on organisation at the back, really paid off what a result. Bye having no direction, Woodgate and Gestede. Link to post Share on other sites
TeaCider24 12,401 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 (edited) When's the last time a manager won his first game in charge with us? Must be 1994 with Bryan Robson. Brilliant result and desperately needed. Link to post Share on other sites
BoroSmoggie 2,678 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Get in! Huge win. Not a bad performance out there today. Britt was MOTM imo, did everything well. Worked the channels great and did the dirty work. Was a nuisance to the stoke defenders. Also loved it when Tav and Wing decided to take the *** for 5 minutes at the end😂 Link to post Share on other sites
Old Codger 3,039 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 To me, the big difference was they looked as though they cared....If they play like that against hull, think we will get some sort of a result..... 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Rioch's Braves 711 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Big win that, and will now give Warnock more time to work with the squad and iron out some of the glaring mistakes we make, though I would imagine Warnock will be gutted to lose the goal scoring prowess of rude boy Gestede.

White Band 831 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 That is the most I've enjoyed a match for ages. Nerve wracking second half but a huge 3 points. Link to post Share on other sites
sanddancer 1,964 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Who would have thought 0 - 2 away. Conceded 0, scored 2. Whoa! No come on let’s be fair, Stoke couldn’t hit a barn door from five yards, which means, our voodoo has passed to them, now it has to be a mid table finish. OK I’m joking, but for a long time I feel smug enough today, feels good. SG, why did you wait for so long when the stats and fans told you a long, long time ago, CHANGE THE MANAGER!!!! 1 Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,230 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 Minimum 5 points clear of relegation if we beat Hull, I think. That game is absolutely massive. 3 Link to post Share on other sites

DurhamRed 2,043 Posted June 27, 2020 Share Posted June 27, 2020 I actually think Warnock can complete the job in a week beat Hull and QPR 50 points job done 1 Link to post Share on other sites
