It's all about mid-table...
I'm starting to feel he's another....
"Goal, Tudgay".

Nowhere near as good.I'm starting to feel he's another....
"Goal, Tudgay".
I’d like to see how he gets on with someone like Soudani or Ansarifard next to him.
Did Villa play him on his own last year? Didn’t he have Hogan next to him for a lot of the time he was there?
FFS - give the guy a bloody break! He came on when we had our backs to the wall and every Forest player was under pressure! Yes he had a few heavy touches but I completely disagree that he didn't look bothered! At one point he was still running to the penalty area being wrestled by one of their centre halves!
It was interesting to compare Grabban and Afobe, both of whom came on as subs last night.
Afobe's introduction resulted in Stoke moving up a couple of gears, him scoring a good goal through his physical presence and effort, and him putting pressure on the Forest defence.
Grabban came on, strolled around, allowed himself to be bullied,and had little or no positive impact on the game.
I know which of the 2 I would have liked to bring to the Club in the summer.

Afobe is a £10m+ striker who's wages we wouldn't be able to afford. Clubs like Stoke have quite a few players we wouldn't be able to afford. Its why we also missed out on the likes of Abraham.
I think we got the best we could for the money. Grabban will add to his tally of 2 goals and 1 assist in 6 starts

I'd start Grabban because he's our best striker.
