Reserves @ Blackpool

Hopefully King may make the bench for the FA Cup.

Nice to see Petrucci's vision is all still there!
 
Exact same thing happened in Blackpool's game against Liverpool last week. Korilenko scored a late-ish winner against them too. Still time for us to get a point though
 
King looked very skillful.

Bebe had a really poor game.
 
That is the problem with Bebe. Does two or three great things a game. However, the rest is very poor.
 
FT 2-1.

Didn't see the whole game, but it looked a very strong Blackpool side.
 
Think the boys acquitted themselves rather well there.
 
That is the problem with Bebe. Does two or three great things a game. However, the rest is very poor.

Decision making is his major problem, doesn't seem to know when to hit it, hold it or pass it and it gets him in trouble.
 
Thought we looked better as that half wore on,tried to pass the ball more effectively than Blackpool's long ball crap.
 
Thought Bebe had a reasonably good game there and did well to get that shot off just before full time. Not easy unleashing a shot on goal with an outstretched Blackpool player under your feet.

Team overall played well too. Fairly fast game that. Some timely clearances from Brown.
 
Petrucci worked hard when he came on. Got stuck in, good to see him back.
 
Hopefully King may make the bench for the FA Cup.

Word. Looked a bit sharper than against Wolves, I'm sure he's getting there. Doubt we'll see him back to his brilliant best this season though. I was impressed with King's vision too. A few superb slide rule passes from the left.
 
King impressed me with his strength when he was helping to defend, he could definitely do a job if called upon to replace Nani for (hopefully) a short while.
 
Missed this one. Sounds like King had a good game again, which is good to hear given the strength of the Stoke team.

Our man of the match?
 
Yeah, I'd say so. Very lively from the left in the second half till he came off.
 
In the middle with Norwood and Vermijl. All 3 did ok considering the experienced opposition.
