Stoke City at home match thread

[BUTOR]

Unacceptable 

[collier]

Weak mentality, 2 0 lead against worse form team in the league at home. Nobody else loses this game!

[pillred]

And now the slow inexorable slide down the table begins.

There’s Preston four nil down at home to WBA .

Bad day at the office sure, but they aren’t as fragile as city. 

[Dan Robin]

Dominated for large parts of the game, lots of chances, they do almost nothing and somehow get 3 points. Defending could have been better, but so undeserved for them!  

[Banjo Red]

Awful

[Mike Hunt-Hertz]

******* hopeless.

[RedEyez]

Powder puff defending today. Simply not good enough. 

[Wanderingred]

The thought of this pile of crap going home with 3 points makes me sick. 

[Lordofthebling]

Spent the afternoon having to listen to radio Stoke and us throw away a 2-0 lead... ##### hell

[marcofisher]

TGH does not fill me with much faith at RB, much prefer him in midfield.

That's the spirit!

[Midred]

Do linesmen not signal for fouls any more?

[Lordofthebling]

Sos vyner

[Spike]

Biggest issue is we've been crossing so much when they've got bigger and stronger players and a tall keeper who likes to claim, so much ping pong with the ball in the air and yet when we get it on the floor we really cause them issues, I just can't understand why we keep playing into their hands.

[Northern Red]

2 seasons in a row we've absolutely gifted this lot 3 points. They're utter shite too.

[cidercity1987]

Decent performance against a crap team and somehow lost. Unbelieveable

[Super]

Dog shit defending

[old_eastender]

We lost the midfield really; James slow, Williams poor, Weimann poor after coming on. Given Naismith weak defending has cost us the 1st and contributed to the 3rd, he should be in midfield instead - perhaps when Vyner fit.

[Bris Red]

Home form and performances have been largely unacceptable this season.

[Barrs Court Red]

Classic away win, but we should have won that. Poor decisions in key areas has absolutely nobbled us.

All of that would be true if they nicked a 1-0 win. You can't be unlucky to start the game 2-0 down and manage a win. City were weak for 75 mins and we paid the price.

We dominated the whole second half

[old_eastender]

FT 2-3 disaster from 2-0 up.

I was , in part , joking however look at the results in the division tonight. There are no mugs. 
We lack a bit of quality but have enthusiasm in spades. Get Tommy firing again and we will move on up . 
Much as I hate to say it , well done Stoke. Down on their knees and they wouldn’t have thought a win was on the cards. This is why we love and in equal measure hâte the game.

 

[Roadrunner]

Very dissapointing, after last weeks great effort.

[ProfitInMyPocket]

Usual game against an Alex Neil team, fair play to them, stuck in it and made us pay. We could all see it coming.

Too many poor performances from us today. Pring, Tanner and Knight really off it.

Williams, Naismith and Dickie getting bullied a bit too much throughout.

Can't say we didn't have enough chances to win that. 

[Northern Red]

And going by our previous home defeats this season, the forum will be unusable for the next 3 days.

Great stuff.

[Loderingo]

Poor day at the office. Missed Vyner but still didn't deserve to lose

[RedorDead BCFC]

Gutted, thought we was going to run riot on this one.
