Who plays in goal Horvath or Sutton?

Get Shilton back in

He's older than me!

Probably still do a job for us

Disappointing thing is you could see Samba has been walking a bit of a tightrope recently, against the sheep he was fortunate, he sometimes gets involved in things that don’t concern him. He’s a good keeper, commanding presence, a bit suspect with his distribution, but still one if the best in the division. Haven’t seen todays incident but sounds like he was fouled then reacted, fair enough, but surely that’s a free kick to us. Great to see the spirit to salvage a point, especially against teams like ‘anti-football’ FC. Probably the nigliest team in the division. Brice will miss Bournemouth and PNE away and Brizzie at home, just hope the stand in is up to it.

There wasn't a foul on him. Just lost his head...

That makes it an even crazier decision then, if there was no foul on him. Shame as he will be a big loss, I expect Horvath may get a run in the team then, hopefully he won’t let us down.

Samba has been great at times….

….he’s also been a complete tw@t at times too and his antics have finally caught up with him - flippin idiot

I hope he’s fined a weeks wages

Samba has been building up to something like this. Been anxious about him for last few games and not looking solid at all.

I think Stoke are decent enough. I don’t think really we are much better than them. We have a chance of playoffs but I am not sure we are a better team than most of the changing pack. We don’t have much from the bench unfortunately. Have been on a great run though and still managed to get an unlikely point so can’t be negative. Doing much better than you would have expected and the manager has done a great job. I think we can sneak playoffs for sure but it will be tight and we will lose games.

If it wasn't for the Chris Hughton sh!tshow for the first 6 games we would be top three I believe?

Great equalising goal by Ryan Yates though, we didn't lose & Worrall is a hero imo.

You can't really say that as no-one knows if we would have won those games with SC in charge, but what we can say is that if you ignore the first seven games from each team, yes, we would be top two or three.

see that Taylor scored for the Brum again today, its strange how he didnt do it for us, but its also nice to OUR player out on loan doing the business, probably abit how Sheff U and Boro feel about their players at ours. I suppose loans arent always bad news.

Having said that, that is a bit like this government's crime figure manipulation!!!

We might be able to sell him for £20M at this rate

Derby had 21 points deducted, we barely turned up for our first 21 points, gained only one of them, but as stated we'll never know if we'd have done better under SC, though the likelihood is we probably would have.

Just seen the highlights and the sending off

Samba is totally disgraceful - he needs dropping altogether for his absolute arrogance and pathetic attitude - honestly no excuse for his total stupidity today

Lowe & Spence might not have been available to come on loan, but I don't think C.H played Johnson more than a sub. Plus Cooper would have got a lot more out of Grabban, because Brennan creates space with his pace & occupying a second defender.

Just done the calcs, we would be second behind Fulham by 2 points but ahead of Bournemouth by 3 points.

BRW - This calc is ignoring the first seven game results of all teams.

I have seen the incident with Samba also, looks like the player and Samba clash while the balls in the air. Samba catches it and try’s to throw it and the player either is trying to block or says something and samba clips him cloughy style with his spare hand!

Of course their player makes an absolute meal out of it but it’s daft and a sending off by todays standards all day long.

Looked a little bit to me like they were targeting samba looking for a reaction. Something he will need to be aware of as we move forward

Agree he was stupid but the stoke player went looking for it and went down like he had been shot rather than given a clip round the head. Pen yes you can't hit a player but the stoke player should have at least been booked as you equally dont run in to the keeper from behind.

By coincidence Chris Hughton is a pundit on Sky for the Norwich v Man City game.

He is a decent guy, nice humility to him that I appreciate but replacing him with Copper has been brilliant for us, better for all parties in the end

Still no excuse to just hit out the way he did - totally unprofessional and stupid
