Oh well, that result will have made some of the negative ****ers day mind!

I'm a bit concerned at some of the silly mistakes at the back we have made over the last few weeks.

Still think this young team do themselves proud with effort and desire each week just lack that bit of composure and miss a few chances they should score.
 
Whole back line has been poor for me.

Connolly on and doesn't eff all again.

dont know what people expect, he was signed purely to add depth, its crazy to think hes in a position to immediately offer anything. It was evident we were short of a forward in the summer.
 
January is huge, I think injuries didn't help today - 3 CMs injured and our 1st 2 choice LM wingers out

Got to take the chances when we create them

Back to back home games, got to get 6 imo if serious about top 2. A win against Sheff Utd will change the mood massively
This all day long. Think the injuries finally caught up with us. Stoke were awful though and the ref was even worse
 
With the CM, tbf, we have 3 injured

We have played the same 3 all year. Samed doesn't count. We dropped the bp
100%. What I was saying before the match, it’s always “bad luck” when we concede soft goals or the ball doesn’t fall to our players. You make your own luck.

You do. For all AA had lots of involvement he made the wrong choice 3 or 4 times in key positions. Simply passes needed. Mayenda shouldn't have started or got hooked early. The change of shape completely killed the second half for me. Rather Jones can on to keep that shape in the middle.
 
He's done **** all apart from 1 shot at the end of the game. If he played for us we would all be moaning he doesn't get involved.

He was weak as piss all game till 1 chance
What’s your point? 9 league goals so far. Better than anything we’ve had to offer

If he played for us he would of had more opportunities. Stoke created very little today. You usually get what you pay for.

Tend to agree. Lack of depth killing us, big January ahead...

Haven't seen any of the game today. Four yellow cards for them in the first half. I thought we would turn the screw in the second half and get a few more booked. Did we drop our levels a bit?

People are obsessed with this idea that strikers just need to work. First and foremost strikers score goals and Isidor doesn’t score enough. He’s got 6 this season, one more than Duncan Watmore whilst playing for a team chasing promotion. Absolutely nobody is convincing me they’d rather have Isidor than Maja in our team “because he runs about”.
