Cos Stoke are at home.

I haven't seen it but he had already been booked!

But he didn’t. No one is infallible but Marriott is the best player we have on the ball. 

If he's not infallible, then statements like "Marriott would have scored that" aren't helpful, cos you don't know that it's true. Was my point.

I don't disagree that he's our best forward, he absolutely is.

Are we playing three at the back with Bielik?

We were, but it sounds like we've switched back to 4 now.

Yep

Ref and linesman giving Stoke everything

What is the shortest pass allowed in a Gary Rowett team ? 

It’s how many yards Stoke have pinched for throw-ins and free kicks.

That wasn’t me that said that. But I think there’s validity to it. Marriott is so much better on the ball. Lazy effort by Waghorn.

lazy or tired

[SaintRam]

Away fans ALMOST went the whole game without singing Rooneys name ? 

Meanwhile Knight fluffs an opportunity to set us on a counter. 

[Sith Happens]

We have no width

57?

[SaintRam]

Corner to Derby. Good cross from Jozefzoon, Marriott just beaten to it by a defender.

If the answer is 57 yards, what is the question?

How far away are you from a Notts Forest squad player at any one time?

so much of our build up ends with dowell.

not looked great the last 30 

Yep, why has no one noticed this, he's really frustrating to watch

[SaintRam]

Bielik does well to get the ball past the press and into midfield, but Huddz sends it back to Clarke and after complex sideways passes we give away a FK for a Huddz high boot.

7 added minutes.

[Ghost of Clough]

Stoke player deliberately kicks the ball away... ref doesn’t even bother having a word with him

[Van der MoodHoover]

Odd stat - we've only had 6 shots, but 5 have been on target.

This s like Cocu has learned from Rowett the master poo-houser.

[SaintRam]

Stoke play eventually results in a 20 yard strike that rolls jsut wide. 

[Richard246]

cocu has to learn from this
