Where do you start?!?! Keeper - sorry, but hes bang average. If we cant get better pick our own. Simpson and Brown - had nightmares but have done ok in the main. Schindler and stankovic - see above Hogg - got frustrated, booked and was average. Chalobah - get shut NOW. Does absolutely nothing. Obrien - play him in midfield rather than chalobah. Bacuna - sort his attitude or shift him out. Cut a surly cant be arsed figure from min 1. Mounie - a rare positive but just doesn't inspire confidence for me. Grant - has gone wrong with him? Been poor mostly now for last 3 or 4 games. Cant say owt about the kids - they are doing their best in a squad which has been assembled so badly its embarassing. Some long discussions are needed because the excellence of the cowleys is masking a desperately thin unbalanced squad and one which is in a dogfight right now.

What's the point in Cowley picking a bench if he refuses to use them?
Why didn't Koroma come on to try and get us back in the game? Or Daly? Are you telling me we were playing that well it wasn't needed? It was exactly the same at Boro.
Could have done with Hogg getting sent off as well at the end so he doesn't miss Barnsley. Instead we're going to have Chalobah holding the midfield. Joy.

Nothing clever about today.
Again a no show start and the naievity not to see how shit the officials were, they did and got away with it all game. Our bookings were shit soft, unnecessary or for chelping.
2 1 up, now get it forward, turn them, push on, get niggly, get ugly, keep them back there??
No sit back, fuck about with silly triangles till you get caught.
Then proceed to fall apart due to lack of testicles and care.
Not bothered about the ref or decisions, we got what the whole 90 asked for, a kicking.
Playing with some aggression and forward thinking for 10 minutes is not enough, those that play for us who believe in just doing enough have to go or sit in the stand.
The Cowleys did have a very hard job but they have to be better and quickly.

They are a much better side than their league position suggests. I’d be very happy with a point. You’re an ambitious person aren’t you I’d still be happy with a point - is that still unambitious?

Chalobah is absolute bab, does nothing, a very weak player.

Grant was absolutely dreadful today. I’ve never seen him have a good game for us. really? if so you really don't understand the game As an experienced football coach, I do know the difference between a good performance and a shite performance. If you think he played well today, I’d love to know the basis on which you judge players.

The ref was poor because our manager and team failed to take advantage, stoke did. The 'bad day at the office ' bollox fails to cover 18 months worth of them. The lack of CARE at times today was disgraceful(not a word I have used before about a Town team)... It's not losing, it's how you lose and to conspire from being a goal up to losing by 3 was fucking embarrassing and very, very annoying to watch. Forget the game up to then, we failed to take our fortune and take on stoke and got what we deserved. We lacked pride today and the lack of professionalism from the manager down was frightening.

Ok the midfield was disjointed and woeful, in particular Hogg and Chalobah. The Cowleys got that completely wrong though. Trying to play constant long ball against Stoke, bypassing our midfield. Just invited the ball straight back at us. Missed the past half dozen games as my daughter is in hospital, but it appears we are becoming a much more direct team, particularly now Mounie is in the side. I hope this is a temporary development and we're not becoming a long ball team. Sounds like those tactics were a total disaster today.

If we do win this one,then we could be 8 pts off the playoffs and 10 pts off relegation ! In danger of getting carried away here but with a few players brought into key areas in January and I wouldn't be surprised to see us in or around the play-offs. 45 or so points off the next 20 games. Piece of piss, eh?

Criminal today.
Goal 1 was shite from Bacuna (what was with his pass?) and as for Simpson, how the fuck did he manage to do what he did?
Goal 2 from the 1 quick glance at a replay that I saw looked like their guy was ignored by Chalobah to run in and score.
Goal 3 was criminal from Grabara, no reason to come for that with about 4 other players going for it.
Goal 4 horrific, one of the first rules of defending is don't let the ball bounce, so Stankovic let it bounce
Goal 5 not much to say other than a bit shit from us
We played to their strengths and let them play to their strengths though by having the ball in the air so much.
Not a single shot (even a blocked shot) in the first half from us,
Chalobah offers nothing and hasn't for a long time, he's a passenger.
Bacuna is either brilliant or fucking annoying.
Grabara will keep his place because Liverpool likely stuck a clause in there saying he has to play unless injured or suspended
Stankovic was stupid for letting the ball bounce for goal 4
Long and short of it is we gifted Stoke the 3 points. Ok they were better than us without really playing well or having to actually work for any of their goals, but when you gift the opponents so many goals, then ultimately we got what we deserved, as we were fucking shite.

They are a much better side than their league position suggests. I’d be very happy with a point. Their league position suggests nothing, it is a fact? They have won games and failed to take it on and all that suggests is their senior players cant or wont perform regularly and the rest are not able to cover it?, We are where we are for similar reasons and until proved otherwise it's a factual reflection of our season to date. On the evidence so far we can beat Stoke. Still feel the same about their senior players. Yeah - Joe Allen, McClean, Vokes they really couldn’t be arsed today.

Billing and Mooy are gone, Pritchard injured. How do you expect us to play?
