Match Day Thread Stoke City v Sunderland AFC – Saturday 21st October 2023 - KO 15:00

One of them should absolutely be on second half. That first half showed the issues. We can not make up for not having Dan Neil but we can with the striker. Roberts through the middle hasn't worked at all.

 

I'm watching a stream mate it's Stoke commentary ex player is on

 

We have no one to hold the ball up, up front. I think TM will make a change at half time, probably Burstow for Ba

 

Can’t watch out on a works day out so updates are appreciated, we’re more than good enough to Nick This

 

Dack and Rusyn on for me , maybe Pritch and Ba off, put Roberts out wide.

 

strange game this one mind, plodding around the pitch basically but we should have been ahead...giving the defender the benefit of the doubt on the ba chance.

stoke's commentators really need to check out the rules of the game, every foul we have been given came because 'our player' knew what was coming and fell over, even to the point of mor eor less ignoring the foul on us before blowing for the 'foul' bellingham made whilst stating it was a horrendous, studs high going right through the back of the player...no wonder the stoke fans whine so much if that is what they are being fed.

ref is rubbish but at least rubbish all round...got a feeling someone will get a red for nowt here.

 

Ekwah has been sloppy on the ball but should improve, Roberts and Clarke need to carry the ball into the box. I'll be choked if we don't win this, Stoke are a very poor team.

 

Youd be the 1st to moan if Hemir started and played like he did 1st game season. Got to be careful with young players, throw them in too early n itll kill them. Hemir will be learning so much on the training pitch n when he gets his chance he has to take it. Hes looked better last couple of time's coming off the bench

 

Ah right! memo to self read the thread before commenting

 

none of the lads so far have looked out of place, i do not have a problem if one has to come in to the side...hemir, rusyn and burstow need a couple of goals apeice obviously but i feel sure they will come as they each contribute when on the field, maybe TM wanted to try for a 'cagey' first half and will make the right changes at the right time.

 

Haha I’m generally positive tbh, but not happy with the not changing things and playing players out of position. so bit harsh saying I’d be the first to moan.

Hope we blast them away second half like. We have it in us for sure, Aslong as we up our game and the ref ups his we should still do them.

 

i have given up now marra, we are all managers 10 minutes afore kick off and yet they tend to prove they made good choices so i let them get on with it cos i know nowt!!

 

No changes

 

2=1

 

Hemir did look out of place in 1st game and in the u21 games. Just because you dont start a striker doesnt mean hes going cagey. Hes gone for arguably his 4 best attacking players at the min

 

Free header from a corner

 

Dreadful

 

****ing terrible.
