[Archived] Stoke City Preview 18th April

[Iceman]

######! (Please don't use that word again) im fed up with all this cack now. Feel really sorry for those 3000 travelling fans.

[Pinch]

Worst cross ever - mgp

[Dan]

I'd rather we play the tea lady than Mokoena/Andrews, bloody rubbish.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Lets face it lads this has been 4 years in the making, no investment in midfield is going to see us going down.

No confidence whatsoever in us staying up.

[Dan]

###### Goalkeeping by Robbo too, weak save at his near post.

Dunn coming on for the Axe. C'MON DUNNY

[tony gale's mic]

Ince's horrible legacy still continues with star turns from Andrews and Robbo in that Stoke goal. We've been utterly awful though.

All depends how bad boro and newcastle are. We've still got a four point buffer (well 3 if boro draw today), but we look like relying on other teams despite that.

[OJRovers]

I've not had a great picture but from what i've seen we've not put 2 passes together.

If Dunn/Grella are fit enough for the bench why not start them - at least we'd have half a midfield

[Dan]

We are ######, we are going down. We are so bad all over the pitch, we can't even take corners.

[RibbleValleyRover]

Sam is going to have to give them a right bollocking after this, just have to hope they respond otherwise we are dead and buried.

Big Fat Sam and his stupid tactics are half the issue.

[mhead]

Its not a bollocking...its Sam putting out a correct team for once.

How does he think we are going to score?

[mattyc2422]

What a disaster this has been.

[RoverRich]

How frustrating is it seeing every ball into the Stoke box go straight into the hands of Sorensen! How I would love to see a good ball go into the box for once!

[RibbleValleyRover]

Big Fat Sam and his stupid tactics are half the issue.

It plays a part yes. But the lack of investment especially in our midfield is playing a huge part. Rovers fans have been calling out for years that our midfield is our biggest problem, without a decent midfield you put too much pressure on your defense, without a midfield you can't create enough chances for your forwards.

[yorkblues]

fooking ###### again

[MarkBRFC71]

If Allardyce thinks that Moko and Andrews are good enough to start games, it's no wonder that Newcastle got shut so soon. I can guarantee that if they start together Sunday against Wigan, we'll lose - we cannot afford to be carrying players in our position and we may as well be playing with 10 men.

Disgracefully inept tactics from the manager - I am seriously worried that we're going down, and a lot of the blame will lie at the manager's door.

[mattyc2422]

Truly devastating game.

[chris]

deserved loss

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

WHAT AN ABSOLUTE CROC OF SHYTE THAT WAS!!!

My God,this MB is going to be some fun tonight....I eagerly await the views of the poor fans who witnessed this mess.

Worried now.

[tony gale's mic]

Our worst performance since Sam joined the club. Absolutely awful, words can't even begin to describe.

[mattyc2422]

1 shot on target. Just all wrong today.

[BRFC1995]

i can really see now why carlos does'nt get a game-----------he is useless, not one signing ince made that was'nt truly awful

[Rovermatt]

Our advantage is evaporating. F**king terrible.
