We can beat PNE and Millwall, and Luton might be resting a few players against us. Burnley I'm fairly certain will smash us (again). Credit to Robins for making changes at HT, they looked a different side in the second half.

He doesn't look right, but I'd start him over Dolan. Maybe start Sorba next and put Ben in the middle if Sam is out for a fortnight.

Fuck off ref. Wearing thin, we don't have many good options off the bench at the moment. A great performance tonight, but unfortunately the season is starting to take its toll and would have been good if JRC, Brittain and Gallagher could've played on. Dolan looked totally lost out there, it was like going down to ten men. Only criticism of the performance was the amount of silly freekicks we gave away towards the end.

He's good off the ball offensively, not defensively. He's also lightweight, but both those attributes are easier to fix than learn all the other gifts he has. I'm sure his big brother will be in his ear with a few bits of advise here and there, so I think he'll be a big player for us next season. Big game tomorrow, I wouldn't mind seeing him start ahead of Morton, though positionally they don't fill the midfield role the same way. Wharton needs more protection I think but he's our most creative player that's available so should start if we're aiming for three points.

In a midfield three he does well, and I definitely didn't want him to get dropped after his fine display at Huddersfield. He's our best forward passer, at least the best passer into the space behind the opposition's defense (Buckley second). Don't forget he's been out injured as well, and could have taken him a little while mentally to get stuck back in at training. JDT demands a lot of effort each session.

He's got a lot of work to do physically and tactically, but hopefully he'll guide us to the PL next season.

JDT is trying to wake A. Wharton up. If he manages to get the workrate and professionalism out of him that's required, then we have some player.

No, not on the wing.

What a daft comment.

Look, I just think we're stuck in a pattern and could do with simplyfying our tactics in the final third. It's a game of opinions, I'd prefer someone else over Gally but I would definitely not consider putting him on the wing again like last night and let the highly ineffective Dolan play centrally. I'm pretty sure Dolan didn't play how JDT wants his no. 9 to play yesterday. If he did then I don't know what to say.

Good question. I think Brereton has lost it completely and doesn't play the team game. Dolan is highly unpredictable, and has never been my cup of tea. If Gallager is told to stay in the middle looking for early crosses and Hedges and and Thomas can provide them, then I can see a few goals from him and the ones scattering around him for scraps. A lot of tense finishing tonight. Looked like the pressure was getting to them.

My eyes... Dull team selection today. Late subs with little impact, just painful to watch...Just start with Hedges, Gallagher and Sorba up front next match and tell them to cross at will. Smodicz and Travis to feed off the scraps. Too much sideways and backwards. Dolan carrying the ball out of Hull's third and playing it backwards on how many occasions? All in our own hands, but how are we going to score against Coventry on Wednesday?

As far as I'm concerned we're not in the top six. My logic being that I don't think we'll beat Burnley. We're in the fortunate situation that it's all in our own hands though. Huddersfield were there for the taking. When called upon, we didn't defend and tend well enough, but my word was the one point more than just at the end of the game. The referee let them get away with timewasting and gave a few soft decisions against Brereton especially. Sweaty armpits.

Stays on his line and seldom intercepts balls behind the defense. Other than that overall ability I rate Kaminski over him.

Would put Kaminski and Brittain back in the team, and replace Morton with Wharton.

Poor showing. No tempo on the ball today. A bit of a fluke their first goal and JRC should've brought us level but in the end they deserved all three points. Morton is a liability. Immensely frustrating that O'brien isn't playing for us now. Tough run-in for us, but at least it's all in our own hands. If we can't protect our place in the top six from here on in, then we don't deserve to be there.

They play right on the edge and get away with it. Basham should have been off earlier this month against us.

I'm hoping the EFL will further complicate things for them and deduct a few points. If not 'I will love it if we beat them!'.

Could be a blessing in disguise. I really dislike Sheff Utd and it hurt like hell today, but it will soften the blow if they get thrashed by City in the next round. Dreaming of facing them again in the playoff final.

Have to give JDT some credit for taking out of form players out of the side, and once given the chance again they cling on for dear life. Quality man-management. Some exceptional performances tonight, and a fully deserved win. I was so pissed off when Reading scored, but luckily we came back and clinched a vital win before our league break. Bring on the Blades, I hope we beat them three more times this season, I really do. Awful side.

GET IN! Stoke conceding from crosses x

Hyam? He jumped but their RB was left totally unmarked by Pickering/Dolan.

A lot of gametime for our starting eleven lately. Haven't rotated much. Still should do better, but think we could need a break. Sam clean through early doors and it's a different game though..

Brittain should have played on the left here. Dolan subbed at half time for not tracking back on two separate occations.

Weary bunch in need of an international break. Stoke fully deserved 3-0 up here. Onto the next one.
