Robins tv 

Fouled at least once 

Yep he was but should have carried on playing as the ref didnt give it

HNM again getting robbed to allow them to score

I think he’s been decent, clearly up for it playing against his old team and is benefiting from having Semenyo up there as well 

I'm sorry EL but if you think Martin is having a decent game your watching a diiferent game to me he wins the occasional flick on but aprt from that he's not in the game If this is him 'up for It' against his former team than god help us

Untill Martins monumental balls up miss i didnt realise he was playing how much longer can we pick him

How does Bakinson keep his place. With him and Massengo in midfield to say it looks a bit lightweight is a massive understatement.

Who would you put in Midfield in his place ? Put Vyner there and put Simpson at RB / RWB but then people will be moaning about that

If it wasn't Martins old club and the luck thats comes with that i wouldnt have had him in the starting 11 today he needs a rest

As Bentley is one of the only players with a reasonable transfer value i would probably signed FF on a free and sold Bents (reluctantly) in the Jan window to get some much needed transfer kitty

Yes we were very poor today but the current injuries don't help nore did the Ref who was shocking and the weather also didnt help after the stoppage for Bakes

Anyone know how Jamie Paterson is getting on?

Who cares hes left us

Let in another 89th minute goal its a bloody joke 

Scott and O'Dowda arnt fullbacks we are letting to many crosses come in from the wings this needs sorting The midfield looks weak again and we miss Williams and James so much as for up front we are not giving them any service so might as well get them bot off and bring Wells and Semeyno on and try something different

They are very street wise a City player has only got to touch one of them and they fall to the floor and the ref is so poor hes falling for it

Glen Murray in the studio banging on about Stoke should have had a defo penalty he doesn't notice that Massengo is having his hair pulled by the stoke player so if anything its a freekick to us

Funny old game ain’t it? We have been totally outplayed for 45 minutes and go in one up

I wouldnt say outplayed for 45 mins we had a good 10 mins at the end of the half (you dont work for Sky do you ?)

These commentators love Stoke dont they. Just before scoring they said Stoke have the better players and cant see us wiining :laugh:

Just now, petehinton said:

Is that Martin who got a goal and an assist in the last game…..?

Yes thats the one Pete

Wells has done more in the 10 mins he's been on than Martin has done in the last 3 games

Has O'Dowda gone off ?

Its nice to bully other teams for a change. What a difference Baker and Williams make we dont look so powder puff today

Today just proves we cannot survive injuries working with a smaller squad this season This is a very weak side today

He could have signed a striker in the summer, but he chose not to.

This is his squad.  He inherited some players, he signed others.  His squad.  I’m so fed up with the ‘emperor’s new clothes’ refusal to acknowledge what is right in front of our noses.  He is not delivering as our manager, and the way we are performing under him is unacceptable.  Nothing to do with Ashton, Johnson, Holden or anyone else.  This is about Pearson.

Well it isn't his squad is it ! How many players was he responsible for bringing in ? 5 isn't it, so you cannot really blame NP until they are all his players and i would give him at leat another 2 transfer windows to get rid of the players who are letting us down and bring in new blood 

Our current squad just isn't good enough and NP is now taking the brunt of the frustrated fans for a the majority of the squad assembled before his tenure

You can break the squad into 3 categories

Not good enough yet but has potential so keep and loan out:

Bakinson

Bell

Conway

Scott

Cundy

Janneh

Benarous

Had plenty of chances time to ditch

COD

JD

Martin

Palmer

Vyner

Simpson

Keep

Bentley

MOL

Kalas

Baker

Wells

Weimann

Massengo

King (Havent seen enough of yet ? )

James

Williams

Semenyo

Pring

Tanner

Atkinson

Martin is the one criticised most but I think he's been our best striker this season, by some distance. Though of course little to go on with Wells.

Derby fans said 3 seasons ago that Martin is quality but lacks pace never looks fit and cannot play 2 games a week we are flogging the guy this season i would just use him as an impact sub as and when needed

Until he is allowed to bring in his own players we will struggle. Half of our first team squad are not good enough for championship football and we cannot expect to compete using players from our academy all the time, perhaps we need to bring in a quality head of recruitment who can beg borrow and steal players to join us.  

Tonight just goes to show how poor our squad is half our bench wouldnt get in another championship side. Our defence, midfield and attack are all poor and need strenghtening in the Jan window or we are in trouble of going down  The commentator highlighted we have no width in the team why cant NP see this God we are missing Baker Williams and Semenyo...
