don't think it was necessarily negative at the time

Stoke were obviously going to push forward, leaving space for the counter attack.

Howson is probably the best counter attacking player we have - certainly better than Wes - because he is so direct when running with the ball.

The needlessly conceded penalty put paid to that though, and then we needed Wes's creativity again.
