| Stoke City v Swansea City : Match day thread on 15:40 - Feb 15 with 2770 views | GVJack | The end product isn't quite there (yet) but I think there's a definite difference in our play. We're not keeping or dallying onto the ball for the sake. We're passing quickly and much more directly too mixing it up a bit. Style wise it's a bit better. |  | |  |

Uranus. But I stand by my observation. No end product, it hasn't clicked, but there is a very slight improvement (in my humble opinion which I'm entitled to ☺️) |  | |  |

| Stoke City v Swansea City : Match day thread on 15:59 - Feb 15 with 2578 views | union_jack | We are lacking in so many areas, too many to mention in full but the two standing out for me ignoring tactical awareness and guidance is pace and height. Our press is slow which means the defence aren’t under any real pressure. Therefore, they don’t make errors and even if they do we are not quick enough to react. We also are losing 90%+ of aerial battles which means picking up scraps in the midfield. We need some more imposing players on the field. I can only repeat what others have said, the worst teams in the league. |  |

| Stoke City v Swansea City : Match day thread on 14:32 - Feb 15 by union_jack | About the best we could hope for. Not surprising Darling has been dropped. Key still in the bench. Naughton at LB? |
This is the same ref that sent Darling off v Sheffield United. |  |

It's a much better game if you watch it from Uranus, apparently |  |
