    Cirkin has been awful, we need to slow it down , Roberts is the key imo.

    Don’t want to slate the lad but he needs a lot of work, not playing him in a settled position won’t do him any favours either like

    This is why I was reluctant to say it because people just jump on it

    I get that, but it doesn’t stop you doing the basics. Not in agreement with the young lad thing at this stage he’s played plenty football to know to track his man or pass a ball

    This game isn't suited for Mayenda. As I said pre match, he wants to find space in behind but Stoke are sat deep so there's no space to run into. He isn't comfortable in little pockets trying to play 1-2s.

    Yeah, the off the ball stuff could be better, but he's about 5th choice as a right winger so we shouldn't expect too much IMHO

    Been the better side - Stoke are awful.

    They’ve got away with a blatant penalty as well, the bastards.

    Aouchiche, Aleksic and Roberts playing in the spaces behind Isidor would be lovely here.

    My biggest gripe is what we've not got the ball to Mayenda enough since Gooch got booked.

    Don't like how many clear chances there had mind, can't be given them too many chances.

    Even if the book missed, he'd still fall over.
