[Eagleman13]

24th min, Derry loses ball in midfield, Stoke break forward quickly, round the 'keeper rolls the ball towards the empty net & from nowhere, Browne pops up & clears off the line. Wake up Palace.

 

[Eagleman13]

Oops 1-0 34th min Freekick edge of box, our wall, well, wasn't really, got bullied.

 

[Eagleman13]

HT 1-0 The way Stoke are playing, thought for a bit, Pulis was back in charge. VERY physical & ref is blowing hot & cold he's either flashing yellow cards about or letting the players get on with it. Their academy/training ground is part of Michelin's Groups sports complex, pitch is not good.

 

[Eagleman13]

Kaden Rodney has had to come off, Austin on 49th min

 

[Eagleman13]

Long wait for the ref to be subbed, also Marjoram off, Cardines on.

 

[Teddy Eagle]

How is Derry playing? Nothing too spectacular yet, apparently?

He wants the ball, he won't get the ball, gives up quickly if he loses the ball or he can't get to it ie runs away from him. Not really a game for him, big Stoke lads.

Reid off Marsh on.

PENALTY!!!

YESSSS 1-1 Ola-Adebomi 78th min

 

[dreamwaverider]

Anyone missing who might be travelling to Burnley?

 

[Eagleman13]

Oh yes, 1-2 83rd min Ola-Adebomi

 

[Pete53]

Oh yes, 1-2 83rd min Ola-Adebomi

Cut in and executed a cheeky little chip over the keeper

 

[Teddy Eagle]

Oh yes, 1-2 83rd min Ola-Adebomi

He might be able to get to Doncaster for the second half.

 

[Eagleman13]

'Kin ell, 10 mins added on, 2 mins gone.

 

[Pete53]

Finishes 2-1 to Palace

To put it into context, Stoke are adrift at the bottom of the table

Even so...a win's a win. Well done lads.

Except for Mola, by the end physically dominating with some very good holdup play throughout, most were bang on below average. Thankfully Stoke are adrift.

and he is 21 and I don't think his loan spells have been that impressive. There was talk of too many players in the Academy and the manager seems to change at least half the team each match which surely cannot help development. Plus we are losing the best prospects. Not looking good

OK, he's not 21 yet, he's had 2 loans, Burton last season & Beveren in Belgium start of this season. Darren Powell the U21s manager has hardly changed 'half the team' every game as you call it, he made 4 subs today, 2 for injury, 1 to stop a player being sent off with a 2nd yellow. As for losing best prospects' who/where?
