If we could just win a game at home these would be decent results really.

Yeah, surely we'll win more than we lose at home, so 5 out of 9 away isn't bad so far. That said, 7 from 9 would've been even better and kicked us up the right end of the table.
Fucking Krancjar always scores against us.

We've now won none of our 4 winnable games.
Thankfully, a hit and run win away at man city is saving us grace at the moment

I would be bothered if we were playing badly, but we dominated them for nearly the whole game. We looked great going forward, although we have to start taking all the chances we're making. We look solid at the back apart from at set pieces which we can put right. It's massively frustrating but it's clear to see that we're a (very) good team in the making.

It's all the fucking about at the back that pisses me off. We score, they look to give up, we pass it around with absolutely no pressure, then to Begovic , he'll lump it and we lose possession and invite pressure so they'd come into it because we didn't look like doing anything. I wasn't comfortable at 1-0, nor 2-1 because you could see what would happen.
I think BT ( who by the way have a fucking terrible format, from the horribly ill fitting intro song to Michael 'yawn' Owen) did a job on us by highlighting Shawcross on every set piece. Cunts.
We used Moses far better than last week. Him, Adam, Crouch and Diouf look fucking dangerous on he counter. I just hope we are able to use other forms of attack because there won't be many more teams that are as easy to break down.
Ah well.

What did everyone think of Martin Atkinson today? Despite the fact that he is obviously the spawn of the devil, I actually thought he was reasonable today.

Thought the final free kick was abit harsh (in retrospect it probably wasn't but y'know...) but other than that he was alright.

High praise from everybody's favourite ex Celtic manager on MOTD tonight,
"Stoke were great today - they were absolutely breathtaking - On the balance of play and chances created Stoke should have won it, I can see why Mark Hughes was disappointed - I thought they were really impressive today,- Stoke looked s good side."

I'd be concerned if we were playing shit but we're not. We need to be taking more of our chances and stop conceding soft goals. Kranjcar aside, all the goals we have conceded have been shit 6 yard box efforts.

Nothing particularly out of the ordinary, he gave the home team the benefit of the doubt on most occasions, but you'd expect that. In the first half he was giving them a little bit too much, including the odd shocker - can't remember who it was, might have been Pieters, he pushed the ball past their fullback into space and was blocked off, and it was him that was penalised. Also, when N'Zonzi had the ball smashed at his arm from less than a yard away, while it was by his side; deliberate handball. He gave us a bit more in the 2nd half and QPR fans will probably have as much to grumble about as us, so can't complain too much. Top marks for not massively influencing the game this time.
