Great win! But we lack an outlet, we really do. Second half we had to defend and struggled to get a hold of the ball at times.

Great game. Travis really has improved this season. I think he's cut out a bit of his antics, especially as of late as he will miss a match if he receives another yellow card. Focus on the football, he's more than good enough. First away win, now we need to win a midweek match and get a penalty and most of our poor streaks will have ended.

We should sell him to Stoke.

Haha Cozier-Duberry 😄

Stoke with one away goal before tonight. Typical. And this. Absolutely sickening stuff.

Really need to get AMD back fit and give him a run of games. We'll probably see the same starting eleven away at Cardiff first though, with Dolan out through suspension.

He'll score more than or other two options combined.

We should've given him more to worry about in the first half imo. We were quite direct and crossed the ball but start with Ohashi who was the only player in their box most of the time. Szmodics would've scored a hattrick tonight.

There were some good performances in the team today. Problem A is end product and problem B is bodies in the box. We really strive to keep our shape, and also have to, as we're so vulnerable on the break. I am angry and disappointed about the result, but have to try and look at the match tonight objectively. Objectively Stoke deserved nothing, but we at least have to score one fucking goal in order to win matches.

Gestede should choose his words wisely considering his antics prior to his departure during his playing days. His assessment of the transfer window soundes like Gregg with an accent. Pressure is on for January, although we're obviously not spending big then either.

He's got a good left peg does Manhoef. No pressure on the shot, so was poor defending. Looked vulnerable a few times but the ball did bounce mysteriously in their fabvour more than a few times.

He made some top draw saves. The shot from Dolan and Weimann's header in particular.

A draw away at Cardiff and a win at home to Pompey vital now. Don't think we'll get anything out of the other two matches vs. Boro and Leeds. Clear-cut penalty for me by the way. Wanted Leonard on before Gueye, and even though they both missed sitters, Leonard has a nose for sniffing out chances that our other players don't. Where are the goals going to come from going forward?

Yeahhhhh.... fuck off Stoke. Timewasting zzzz Incredible that we can't score, but there's a reason why we haven't for four straight games now. Really embarrassing stuff. Not enough bodies in the box until late in the second half, Johansson then started making some insanse saves and a 10/10 performance really. This one and the Watford defeat hurts.

We played well against Watford and deserved more, but were outplayed against Sheff U who are superior to us on paper. Gueye is a problem in that he's poor at pressing and makes a lot of mistakes due to bad technique. If we want him and Ohashi to play together then Ohashi probably has to do a lot of tracking back and play in the pocket. Early door both had enthusiasm and a bit of margin on their side, and when one of them started, the other was sure to make an impact off the bench. Not so much any longer, and I'm not sure the answer is starting them both as what they have shown lately surely doesn't warrant a starting place.

'The Carabao Captain'

Rak-Sakyi would've torn Pickering a new one.

Hedges should've made better contact with it, but it still wasn't granted he would be able to wrap his foot around it fully to convert it.

Different level Rak-Sakyi from our wingers.

Sloths

Plan B is our starting eleven, don't think Eustace meant for Dolan and Hedges to start every game this season. Man for man Blades are a better side unfortunately. It's as easy as that, and we won't beat the stats forever. We replaced someone who can't hit a cow's arse with a banjo (Gallagher) with another one who's just as bad, but that doesn't understand tactics and can only play in one role. Downgrade. Ohashi seems to have found his level, he works hard but gets muscled out really easily and makes the wrong decision a lot the time. Tough task today though, I'll give him that.

Venky's court case is this month; on November 13 I believe. Will we finally get it over and done with? A positive outcome might release a bit of funds in January. Would think the deal for that Fulham lad will be revisited too.

Nice. "The towering centre-back has already made several appearances for Rovers Under-18s over recent weeks and is delighted to be joining a club that offers a clear pathway for promising young players to progress to the senior squad. " Not given youth a chance so far this season, one might argue.
