Substitutions costing us the game - again
What Davies should have done on 55 minutes with us 1-0 up was take Osman and Ducksch off and put Solis and Priske on ... and gone 4-3-3 - and made the midfield more solid and close down the spaces Stoke were beginning to exploit. Not only would it have compressed the spaces but it would have left us as a more attacking threat
ie ... (and this isn't showing Roberts and Stansfield as wingers but as the left hand and right hand side of a three)
Beadle
Tomoki Neumann Klarer Wagner
Doyle.. Solis.. Paik..
Roberts Priske Stansfield
The way Stoke were set up at the time this was by far the better option - and is why i was a better tactician than Davies today (again)
