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

[RTM08]

We're a 2 man squad - if Cantwell and/or Alebiosu get injured we could start to see some real cricket scores.

[Bbrovers2288]

Just a ridiculous decision to sell hyam

Just one of those Season eh Exiled?

This club is being destroyed.

You won't find a more vocal anti-Venkys man than me. 

I simply don't think this squad is noticeably worse than the squad we fielded last season. 

Our game management and luck has been absolutely abysmal though - hence why I think we're going down.

Rigo should be off for that trip by the way.

[Roverthechimp]

Attendance over 14 000 according to commentators (3800 from stoke)

[StHelensRover]

First game this season I've not been able to watch, just got the notification about Stoke goal.

Has it been business as usual?

Nothing between these sides and yet they're ahead through a deflected goal. 

20 league places too.

My thoughts exactly. 

[Tom]

Hedges at the byline has to find our man it’s just really poor 

[dallydally]

What a shambles. Sack Ismael and the lot of them. We are getting what we deserve after an abysmal summer

[RevidgeBlue]

Why isnt anyone following in the Cantwell shot?

[London blue]

Oh good Kargbo is on

He's done it twice now - got into great positions and delivered a poor ball. 

[davulsukur]

Kargbo on, he's better have figured out to graft in the last few days.

[Tom]

Would have left Morishita on but that change is one of the managers pre planned ones that he won’t shift from

[Waggy76]

The only good thing is, I am sat in the Spanish sunshine and I didn't even bother going to the bar to watch! 

How times have changed, thanks 100%to the Venkys!

Because they're all poor players.

Morishita finally starts finding some positions in behind Stoke so he immediately gets hooked. It's like Ismael pays no attention to the game ever. 

Yuki already showing why he is ten times the player the other strikers are. Scored a few last season when he had better players around him. 

[Lancaster Rover]

We’re so flat and so predictable, watching our build up play is like a primary school paint by numbers exercise. 

[TimmyJimmy]

Who's the sky commentators?

[RevidgeBlue]

Morishita high fiving everyone on the way back to his seat in the dug out. Did I miss something and we're actually three up?

[booth]

Kargbo on. 

Ismael deserves everything he gets.

[K-Hod]

Who’d have thought, sell all your best players, replace them with inferior ones and you lose matches?
