Back home.
For 15 minutes that was as good as we've played for a very long time.
Except for the usual bit about putting the ball in the net.
Stoke are big and strong and fast and gave us big problems.
Then the ref started being weird.
We weren't as good against 10 as we were against 11 bizarrely.
That near post corner worked again and we got sloppy.
Cullen did what he does and went from inept to wonderful in 60 seconds.
Oh, and Key had a magnificent game.
 
Fine margins - after a tremendous first ten where we dominated but didn't work the keeper we went shite and they could / should have been at least 2 nil up were it not for heroics from vig / key.

And then an astonishing turnaround where we all thought we were 1 down only for them to go down to 10 men minutes later.

Nice to see Key back to Key from 2 years ago, Galbraith in the middle, Vipotnik scoring yet again and Cullens special goal. He gets stick but he does have an end product, very few in our squad can do or would try what he did (Galbraith, Tymon maybe?)

Made hard work of it but Stoke under Robins with 10 is not suited to us. Good to be happy with any win today to bounce back from last week.
 
Always been the same. Swans fans are the very definition of the term “misery loves company”.
Guy sat behind me moaned all game....Maybe I have a lower bar of expectatiin having watched us since 1975...yes I get frustrated with us at times but sometimes wonder if I am watching the same game as others.
Also sometimes the expectations and criticisms of players such as Ronald when will folks realuse if he was the complete article he wouldnt be here.....we have a history of recruiting nearlymen and makimg them special it doesnt always work. But Ronald offers a lot extra in defence and was there today to help Key bed back in.

The club should be happy though as it wont need to look far for a manager whem Matos is poached as there are plenty of candidates on here and the Indy
