It is perplexing, the lack of second half goals kicking towards the Loft 🤔 Have we scored one this season? Wonder if the players are thinking about it? [Post edited 17 Sep 2022 17:46]

No we haven't and going by Dykes's wonder miss a couple of weeks ago there appears to be a form of invisible shroud.
Who's idea was it to get rail seating down that end? |  | | |

Exactly, superb second half, Beale saw the problems and sorted them, just a great defensive display by them really.
Oh, and just ANOTHER sh#t ref. |  |
| It's being so happy that keeps me going. |

A goal-less draw is a bit like kissing your sister, but it wasn't boring just a bit frustrating. | | | |

Good job we benefited from the sh1t ref this time. |  | | |

Interesting seeing a lot of people say this was one of our better performances, thought we were quite toothless and didn’t create proper clear cut chances, more snapshots around the box - game of opinions etc! 6th and looking far more solid than we have for a long time, Balogun making a huge difference, onwards and upwards! |  | | |

Thought the gaffer got the second half subs spot on. Taking Dozzell off opened up space in the midfield and allowed us to get forward much quicker. Improvement was almost instant. Unfortunately Dykes offered very little up front, but think he’s worth sticking with. He has and can score, hopefully he’ll find his form soon.
I thought Roberts was excellent, you can see he’s a cut above and works well with Chair and Willock.
Had I gone to Millwall I’d probably feel a bit better about the performance, but we’re somehow 6th so can’t really complain. |  | | |

I thought getting Dykes on at half time was spot on and I was pleased that he didn’t wait till 65/70 mins like Warburton.
Felt a bit like the two subs later in the game killed our momentum but probably couldn’t be helped with Johansen injured and Roberts blowing. | | | |

High boot (relatively speaking) catches Chair for a free outside the box. |
I’m sure I saw the ref signal an indirect free kick. | | | |

I thought their subs kind of cancelled out any changes we made. For instance, Laurent did very well on one occasion to cut out a chance of a breakaway by Adomah. |  |

Thats what Chair was complaining about, he was raging. Strange decision. |  |

On the way home. Stoke came the point and got it, but on another day we would have got 2.
2nd half much better, Dykes for me starts ahead of Roberts. Like some others have said I'm not sure where he fits.
Another clean sheet, decent performance and a chance for everyone to come back from the injuries.
As an aside, if we played like Stoke every week I wouldn't be a season ticket holder. Utter dirge to watch. |
Blimey Mr Wilkes, bit of a traditionalist are ya, it stopped being two for a win in 1981! | |

Good point that I hadn’t considered. The game was becoming more even before Beale’s final subs.
I came away scratching my head as to whether it was two mid table teams cancelling each other out or maybe we’ll meet again in the playoffs. | | | |

I agree with Bealevthat a draw was a fair result.
Both sides had chances but not a lot of them.
It wasnt a penalty, late on, for them.
Thought the ref was pretty fair. Plenty of meaty tackles, but not every tackle is a foul.
We weren't as energetic as Wed night, nor xix we really create enough to win it. Credit to Stoke's defensive effort. |  |

He definitely did.
That's why Stef had to have a touch before Chair shot and gave them that extra second to charge the shot down.
I thought the guy made contact with Chairs head so I was expecting a direct free kick rather than an indirect one and I think that was what Ilias was compiling about. Maybe Pinner can advise on the law when a high boot is involved. |  | | |

I haven’t seen the highlights but from A block it looked a stonewall pen for them. |  |

Yesterday's performance felt quite a bit like our game against Millwall, albeit against much better opposition, and I'm taking some encouraging signs from both games.
As others have mentioned, two clean sheets are very welcome and very overdue. Credit to Beale for plugging the leaks.
At the other end of the pitch, as everyone can see, Willock and Chair have never played as well as they are right now.
With each passing game, I can see a bit more clearly what Beale wants from the team. I didn't get the narrow and compact shape to our game at first but it's beginning to make more sense now and has been a big factor in us not conceding in the last two games.
Performances feel like they can maintain a good level of consistency now with players really getting to grips with Bealeball. |  | | |

Win would be nice before the break, but think it could be the first 0-0 this season. Stoke look better opposition than Millwall. Come on U R's. |
Well done! | | | |

Will we ever score again down the Loft end? That's the question? |
and the answer is - yes!  | | | |

If contact it is of course a DFK, so ref must have thought there wasn't any.
Chair didn't need any treatment, so maybe correct - look at 90' tomorrow will tell us hopefully! | | | |
