v Stoke City (h) - 4/10/25, k/o 12:30pm

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Nothing about our side to enthuse,really poor again.

[RTM08]

Every team we play against look like they'll score every time they come forwards. We're lucky if we get past the halfway line without a miscontrol or an offside.

[Tom]

Goal saving touch from Miller there 

[Exiled_Rover]

Where were these corners from Thomas when he played for us?!

Gudjohnsen completely anonymous so far 🫤

Underwhelming midweek and again.  I'll say it now, a dud.

As for Gardner-Hickman, so, so poor.

Ominous start for us.

Yeah want him to do well but he seems a downgrade on Ohashi for me. Ohashi by now would have had a lot of touches and link up.

Real issue is none of them worry a defence.

Stoke looking more on top now...

I think to be honest we need to go back and think how to get a tune out of Gueye.   We need a striker who actually concerns the opposition defenders and the only one I have seen that from is Gueye when he was on form (albeit that is nearly a year ago now)...

[Tom]

Do our players not understand the offside rule? It was obvious then our lad had to leave it then went for the ball and ruined a great chance 

[B16Rover]

Another stupid offside 

[Bbrovers2288]

I mean we are at home and yet playing like the away team, nothing is sticking at all , looks like they have more players than us 

[Ferrit]

Predictably poor 

[joey_big_nose]

We're looking completely uncompetitive now. No out ball, easy to get behind, overpowered in midfield. Need to change something.

[RutlandRover]

Hanging on here. There's no cohesion in midfield to hold it all together. Just frantic chasing with no authority. Urgh.

[Exiled_Rover]

Their RB is a knob.

[RTM08]

33% possession at home to Stoke. Imagine saying that even a year or two back. 

[Tom]

33% of the ball so far 

[Bohinen1983]

Dire, Morishita offers nothing, absolute passenger. Hedges decision making is horrendous. Gudjohsen, isolated. 
 

Utter shite! Squad's devoid of quality. Glad I didn't go.

[Bbrovers2288]

This is awful 

[cesus]

My God we make teams look good.

[Torgeir]

What’s the gameplan here?

[superniko]

I just don’t think there’s that much difference between the vast majority of squads in the Championship - it’s just we have an absolutely dire, clueless manager 

[roverandout]

Even game but Stoke have more purpose in their play 

[DE.]

Ideally the owners. 

[joey_big_nose]

Looking at the bench all we have I think is to stick Gueye up front and try and worry them with the long ball. We're totally outgunned here.

Miller playing very well as the main positive.

[RTM08]

How many times do we concede chances faffing about with it at the back?

[pick32]

God we are crap
