Match Day Thread Stoke vs Southampton. Tue, 3 Oct. 20:00

Isn't it strange how everyone just got on with the game? You'd think we didn't cope for over a century prior to VAR with some comments on it at times.

 

If this ends 1-0 I will absolutely be satisfied, but to say we look ropey would be an understatement. Huge performance drop off from Saturday.

 

Result more important than performance in this one I think. Expecting better on Saturday.

 

Solomana and Alcaraz our best attacking players but neither are passing to each other when in space

 

Mara and Fraser on for Alcaraz and Sulemana

 

Our MOTM is the referee so far

 

Stokes MOTM is Manning

 

Can Downes and Smallbone stop being negative in decent positions, unnecessary pressure on us

 

A cold dark evening in stoke. Now is the time to show something Mara.

 

Mara > Messi if he scores

 

Neil has realised that there is so much space on our flanks for crosses

 

If you want a chuckle put the Stoke channel on iptv. The co.mentators sre absolutely raging about every decision including the free kick for the tug on Armstrong.

 

Half this team are infuriating

 

Big last 20 mins or so here... would be massive for our confidence to win two in a row AND keep a clean sheet at Stoke.

 

Really, really need a second goal, from anyone, own goals kindly accepted.

 

Ref is even fouling their players for us now. Some player.

 

Goooowan ref

Putting my fair play hat on, we have massively got away with at least one penalty desicion Jan was stonewall if EPL
