Stoke City at home match thread

[bexhill reds]

**** me this referee, makes a mistake then books a city player. He’s only helped make this a shit watch, the 10 outfield players on the payroll have done the hard work

[Super]

That just summed our defending up.

[ProfitInMyPocket]

Can't say we haven't had chances today

[Fordy62]

Mad Max strikes again.

Taking TC off was a really poor choice from NP.

[Midred]

Non of them due a second booking then?

[Banjo Red]

Some of the selection decisions from Pearson are very questionable. Another game gone and a chance to progress.

[Peter1450]

Stoke doing everything we seem unable to do to see out a game

As was starting Andy King at centre back 

it’s ok though. He will give a really honest assessment later. Lucky to have him 

[Redrascal2]

He is taking us down at this rate. It is a shambles. Something has to change.

[Firstyardleftinbed]

Even for City this has been an incredibly frustrating game.

King at CB I can kind of understand but you wont get away with it for more than a couple of games. Weimann is offering nothing at RWB either. Need to look at a change in shape if we dont have the right players available.

I know Wells scored but he’s done little else, TCs pace would be useful

Blimey, you're entitled to your opinion and all, but you never stop do you!

Agree, but Wells & Conway did well too and can't fault Max either. As for the rest, well...

Can’t fault Max? Huge shout for their equaliser and didn’t get anywhere near it.

We seem determind to play the sags next season

[petehinton]

That’s a really damaging result that. Pearson could well find himself in a spot of danger if we don’t get a win from the next two

Weimann has been missing all season 

[Gillies Downs Leeds]

Mr Eltringham is definitely the ref you want if you are trying to run the click down. 

[old_eastender]

FT 1-2, Let's hope that's the last time we see Andy King playing CB.

[Dan Robin]

Worrying result.

Really disappointed.

[Super]

Rubbish. Worrying times ahead.

[pillred]

We surely deserve better than this don't we?

[Ska Junkie]

Bloody rubbish City!

I'm starting to question big Nige after that.

Crap!

[Negan]

Same old same old. Pearson out. 

[cityexile]

Extremely disappointing. Unable to string two results together it seems. Gave Stoke something to defend, through school boy defending, twice! Just so frustrating and looking more and more like a genuine relegation battle.

 

[Spike]

This ref hasn't controlled the game at all but we deserve to lose. We've had 13 shots, 6 on target and only converted 1 whilst they've had 6, 3 on target and converted 2. 

That game is simple to sum up, we gave away sloppy goals with piss poor defending and didn't take our chances that we had more than enough of to win the game.

[Northern Red]

Infuriating.

Not so much smash and grab as gift wrapping the presents and leaving them on the doorstep.

[AshtonRobin21]

5 minutes of added time, and we spent about 10 seconds of it in the oppositions half.

woeful.

Give up all hope Martin coming on now (King off).

At that very moment Stoke knew they had won the game.

And our long-suffering fans knew it was time to head off home.

Nope. Not until he gets the bullet . The bloke is way past his best before date 

There is absolutely no excuses for today
