[Tugay's Right Foot]

Douglas could have scored there. Gally could have tapped it in 

[SoldierMo]

O’neil having been less time at stoke having stoke above us where as dino mowbray still has us midtable miners

Why? They've created nothing. 

I should explain I'm following the game entirely on here. Like a member of the Dutch underground listening in trepidation for news from Arnhem.

[SoldierMo]

Gally should have used his strength to

make it his but no such a flimsy guy for a big man

[Proudtobeblue&white]

All is not yet lost.

[Bigdoggsteel]

That should have been a bread and butter tap in for Trybull or in particular Gallagher.

One fullback crossing to the other.

Champagne football. 

[Bigdoggsteel]

Trybull playing very well to be fair 

[superniko]

Gallagher is weak as piss too. Would understand it if he was a proper unit but he’s always out strengthened and look at that rebound. Prancing around with a hurt foot. Get stuck in!

Trybull really impressing me as he did before the Lenihan red card vs Brentford.

gally not got the anticipation unfortunately

[USABlue]

Gally should have done better

[davulsukur]

Shambolic recruitment has led us to playing Johnson at Centre back.

[Miker]

We're actually playing quite well against a very organised Stoke side that have kept 10 clean sheets this season. Things just aren't clicking all the way.

Trybull having his best game for us so far.

Stoke 1 shot 1 goal. 100% accuracy. This is the stat that matters.

[booth]

Why didn't we cross the ball then? Forward, forward, backward, backward, forward, forward, backward, backward, even more backward, forward, shit cross, lose the ball.

[simongarnerisgod]

id`e like to see rothwell looking to break the line,with his speed he should be torturing the stoke defence

We have two injuries and a guy we're treating with kid gloves as we know his ankles are made of glass.

Most teams would struggle if three starting CBs were out. 

[Exiled_Rover]

So Powell has to be subbed, right?

 

You don't lie down for 5 minutes without a serious, serious injury.

Actually just came on to say the same thing.  I made a few comments about how poor Trybull was a few weeks back (Luton game?) but credit where it's due, most of Stoke's attacks seem to have ended with him making an interception today.

I will retract my previous comparisons to Keith Andrews and apologise. 🤣

I'm happy with 0-1 after 20. relieved in fact.

We've dominated. Entire defence asleep conceding a stupid soft goal though.

As you know we’re very flexible with what stats matter. I’d wager we’ll be back to possession.

Andrews best game was as a makeshift central defender against Bolton. role model for Johnners.

This game is encapsulating our season.
