Curr Avon Posted May 4 Report Share Posted May 4 We can't cope with the pace of Manhoef and Bae Jun Ho. Go to a 3-4-2-1, by subbing Sykes and McCrorie, for Zak and TGH RWB with Roberts LWB? Quote Link to comment

Wanderingred Posted May 4 Report Share Posted May 4 (edited) I don’t understand why anybody would support Stoke. If that was my hometown, I’d be utterly ashamed to come from there and would want to distance any connection with that blot on the landscape. I can’t believe people would actually live there and be proud to support a team that represents it. Edited May 4 by Wanderingred 1 2 1 Quote Link to comment
GrahamC Posted May 4 Report Share Posted May 4 Really poor defensively, Dickie aside we haven’t been at the races. Lack of effort by Williams in particular to get back for the second was really poor. I’d be making a triple sub at HT & give TGH, Knight-Lebel & Wells some minutes. 1 Quote Link to comment
Mr Popodopolous Posted May 4 Report Share Posted May 4 At least none of us have to live in Stoke. If anyone does, you my sympathies! 2 Quote Link to comment

Andy082005 Posted May 4 Report Share Posted May 4 Amazing to think that had we won today we could have gone above Coventry ….who on paper have had a far better season than us Quote Link to comment
cidercity1987 Posted May 4 Report Share Posted May 4 Very poor performance and score so far Manning didn't need any negativity going through the summer break and this was a crucial game for him to see if he could match Pearson/Fleming PPG Quote Link to comment
Graham76 Posted May 4 Report Share Posted May 4 That last ten minutes was embarrassing. Stoke have been so sloppy, how the f@ck are we losing 3-0 1 Quote Link to comment
mozo Posted May 4 Report Share Posted May 4 (edited) It's weird because we wrestled control of the game and created chances. Should be about 5-2 to them. Stoke have just been so clinical on the break, and two walloping finishes to be fair. I wouldn't say we've been terrible, but every single outfield players has had at least one or two sloppy moments to make the game more difficult than it has to be. Twine had to tuck away his chance and at 1-1 it's potentially a different game. It was actually an entertaining half, but irritating. Edited May 4 by mozo 1 Quote Link to comment

ProfitInMyPocket Posted May 4 Report Share Posted May 4 Just walked through us. How many times have these lot won at home this season? Can understand if they were a much better team than us and they've ripped us apart with some incisive football but Stoke aren't even any good. Too many emotions, not enough behaviours, not following the perfect game plan of patterns. Whatever the excuse is, we'll be in for another season of mediocrity with the setup as it is. 1 Quote Link to comment
1960maaan Posted May 4 Report Share Posted May 4 Just now, Boston Red said: Sykes should not be playing down the left. He is right footed. Never played well there , this is the 2nd game at LWB I think and he struggled last time. Even LMF he looked lost , it doesn't work. Don;t know why he didn't go RWB and move McCrorie into RCB or even the middle. Then the rest move across, they then stay in natural positions . 2 1 Quote Link to comment

He’s never looked effective playing on that side (and he’s not really a wing back anyway!) Would rather see Mcrorie that side- he always cuts in when playing on the right. Or play a left sided youth player Quote Link to comment
westonred Posted May 4 Report Share Posted May 4 We look like conceding every time they break forward we just cant live with their pace and power. 1 Quote Link to comment
Atyeo's lift Posted May 4 Report Share Posted May 4 God but we miss James. Really worried about next season without. him. Twine doesn't inspire at all 3 Quote Link to comment

Hindsight but switch to a back 4 if restricted in numbers. McCrorie Tanner Dickie Roberts Then Sykes right and one of Mehmeti/Twine left..perhaps TGH or King on. Quote Link to comment
