Stoke City away match thread

[Lew-T]

Keep giving the ball straight back to them.

Lads, the people we have to pass to are wearing the same colour shirts as you!

This is the worst we have played for ages, just keep kicking ball to them every time we win it back

This is only going to end one way by the looks of it. Poor start

[AppyDAZE]

Reminding me of Luton away already

Looking all over the place at the moment 

[old_eastender]

Weimann, James & OTC  hardly touched the ball between them

[Denbury Red]

No midfield and no one able to keep possession and build. 
 

Constant pressure. OTC and MJ just not been mentioned at all

I thought exactly the same. We just can’t keep the ball and look panicked at the back. Really poor so far 

[maxjak]

Getting outplayed.............so far.........looks just a matter of time.    i hate to be so pessimistic, but not looking good.   We are chasing shadows, and are being outclassed.

Well, since Luton. Similar in that we just can’t keep the ball

Edit; sorry, @AppyDAZE, just seen your earlier post.

Just to point our to @Jerseybean Stoke potentially escaped their FFP issues in part via sharp financial practice. Attributing £30m to Covid plus £11m in lost transfer profits (net impact £20-20.5m, gross £41m) plus £2-3m in supposed lost profits lsst season...£22-23.5m net up to.

Oh and selling the stadium and training ground for a combined profit of £32m- £16m net as was in 2021...I won't go on much more but the first paragraph is one of the most egregious at this level- this is a reason they can afford multiple PL loanees both this and last season, Wilmot, Vrancic, Surridge, well not the sole reason but a reason.

We're exhausted, we have a thin squad- unlike certain clubs we don't seek to cheat.

Clearly only 20 minutes in, plenty of time to go etc etc but this sort of performance does highlight how hard it will be to replace Alex Scott (if we didn't know that already).

[Curr Avon]

Omar off injured. King on.

[And Its Smith]

OTC of injured. I’m just glad we don’t get injuries anymore!! 

[AppyDAZE]

NO Foul???

 

[Lanterne Rouge]

King for OTC

[AppyDAZE]

The reffing just gets worse

[Lew-T]

What’s this referee smoking?

That’s two fouls that’s gone against us.

[RedorDead BCFC]

How is that not a foul

[sh1t_ref_again]

Ffs Bell taken out looked easy yellow card, not even a foul given 

[archie andrews]

[And Its Smith]

[Malago]
