Thanks Ed. Great win away, it really was ugly second half but what a well taken goal, Saville’s battling to win the ball and realise Flemming was just as good. Had to win this game considering the results around us on the table., now, where’s my beer…

haave dealth very well with these last three toguh games

80 minutes of backs against the wall football, but 3pts point in the bank is all that matters. Team is running on fumes after the last couple of matches, tuesday will come quick for some of them.

Well done Wall , 2nd half was backs to the wall defending as Stoke played well until they got to final ball , Long not tested , Honeyman had a very good game worked his socks off MoM for me , big shout to our support ,loud and was 12th man in final 15 .

7pts from 3 tough games sets up Luton tue night nicely . Safe journehome all that travelled .

did we string more than three passes together

doesn't matter

What a 3 points that is, Honeyman MOM

That last line is very true.

That was a tough game. We stuck at it and held out.

Reading through parts of this thread. you would have thought we were absolutely hopeless - We weren't. Stoke have a decent home record and were hard to play against. A very good dig deep result in my book, and the squad and manager deserve some serious credit.

Fuck GR off and let him walk home.
COYL.

The table looks good on two counts:
1) The obvious one.
2) That tosspot Ainsworth and his bunch of Hooped wank merchants are getting nearer the trap door.

Luton will be an even tougher game now, defending for 75 minutes takes it out of the players and little recovery time before Tuesday.

 

[Peckham Lion]

We’re going to have to play (and keep possession), so much better away to Luton on Tuesday, otherwise the score line won’t be so flattering!

Lets enjoy today first eh! Was never going to be pretty, this team has a raging Lion pumping through it veins. Absolutely elated with that today.

 

[Lion1964]

Always someone waiting to put the boot in. Was always going to be scrapppy and nervy. Imagine the match threads should we go up, fuck me.

If we go up Peckham this place will have to be shut down, the embarrassing comments by the armchair managers and coaches if we ain’t top after 7 games will be off the scale compared to now

 

[Ibroxlion]

A tough watch but a great 3 points. Can’t always be beautiful football. Winning ugly’s still winning.

Come on You Lions

 

[High Life Street 2.0]

Didn't get the second which would have been great for goal difference so might as well just fold the club

IF, (that's a big if) we can get a win on Tuesday , we'll have a tiny wee cushion points wise.

That has to be the luckiest win of the season!

Defence was superb today, but again, 2nd half, midfield were too wasteful with the ball. If Stoke had taken their chances in both halves, we would have lost this, and probably quite heavily!

Only one shot in the 2nd half - from Bradshaw - tells the tale.

We’re going to have to play (and keep possession), so much better away to Luton on Tuesday, otherwise the score line won’t be so flattering!

Shout out to the away support, who were once again fantastic. Pretty much out sung Stoke for most of the game!

Roll on Tuesday!

COYL!

First line of this post is bollocks mate
Agree with most of the rest.

You make your own luck in this game and that team earned it.
Defended to a man brilliantly, reduced them to blazing it 50 foot over the bar.

 

[Ulster Lion]

A great win against an bunch of ugly fuckers. Gayle and Smallboner must have escaped from the House of Horrors.
And those two clowns commentating sounded like Father Ted and perma tanned antique sniffer David Dickinson. Had to watch it with the sound turned down.
Love it. Hope the lads enjoyed the win.
COYL.

What we desperately need is gaps of four or more points to appear between us and seventh. None at the moment! It will be nerve shredding for a while yet!

Especially if its followed up with a win against Brazil next Saturday

 

[High Life Street 2.0]

I really want to beat Norwich. I fucking despise them.

Dreadful performance great result
