We play the Potter's tonight in the rearranged fixture following the death of the Queen. They started well but have fallen back of late having only one win and four defeats in the last five matches. You'd think we'd be running on empty following our rearguard efforts at Blackpool, but with the NJ situation maybe it'll be "Once more unto the breach dear friends!" Good on yer if you're traveling. COYH! Some great Trivia from some "Fools" last time, so same again please!  |

You don't get trivia like this every day: November 8, 1883 - Brooklyn Bridge Opens; The English freighter Nisero stranded at Atjeh with crew taken hostage. Anyone know where Atjeh is?  |

I’m in Stoke. It’s been the most on-off away trip for me ever, but somehow I’m here. And as seems the case with every away game I go to, it’s tipping down!

Oh well, high spot of the evening was an Isted save. The ifollow caption had him listed as 'Harvey' Isted but he wasn't a rabbit.

I don’t think we were that poor last night apart from the crazy first few minutes when Powell was left unmarked in the area; a complete mess and not just by Bell IMO, somebody else was asleep.
Stoke looked anything but decent and on another day with that performance, we would have come away with something. Still, 3 points from two consecutive away games is not a bad return.
If Nathan goes to Southampton, then no moans from me. It’s his career and plenty of folks who worked for me moved on to higher salaries after doing a decent job; that’s the way of the world. So, good luck to him whatever his decision may be.

Well done Dawn, hope it goes better than when I last saw you at an away game - it was raining then too Was an improvement on that game, at least! And yes, I agree we played quite well. We allowed Stoke to take advantage before yet another defensive line-up including a different keeper had settled down. And Lockyer scored a lovely goal, though unfortunately at the wrong end. After that we carried a reasonable threat, though it was one of those games when you realise you’re just not going to score. So basically a 0-0 draw with an unfortunate first 15 minutes  Harry Cornick was my man of the match, but seriously, Pelly - 6 months out then 3 lots of 90 minutes in a week is some going. The tunnel is in the corner right in front of the away fans, and safe to say the referee was left in no doubt what they thought of his pandering to the Stoke players falling down at every opportunity. NJ got a good reception before and after (and a less good one from the Stoke fans!). Hard to begrudge him the Premier League but good to see he does appreciate what he has with us. |

Fair assessment. After being 2 down we played well but it just wasn't our night. Everyone is entitled to their opinion about Jones. For me he has done a brilliant job and leaves with much credit in the bank. I'm sure he'll return at some point. I'm looking forward to a fresh approach but we need to maintain our physicality to remain a force in this division.
