Disappointing, but understandable.
We're at the end of a ridiculously hard period, and it feels like everyone needs a break and a reset. The first 20 minutes today were some of the worst I've seen under McKenna. Simple balls being missed, passing it out of play, no shape or rhythm, but we grew into it, and by half time we're looking much better.
Came out really sharp second half and felt like we were in control, but just didn't have the cutting edge needed. Clarke is too right footed to play the Davis role. Had so much space but always had to turn inside. Similar issues with Hutchinson when he came on down the left, way to ken to cut inside.
Burns looked like he wasn't really over his illness, half a yard short of pace and so lacked conviction in what he was doing.
Both refs were pretty dreadful.
Stoke fans didn't make a peep until the sending off
Can we do it on a wet night in Stoke? Not quite... [Post edited 1 Jan 2024 18:02]
