Live looked worse than the replay

On reply I think it might be a bit soft. Made contact with his head while getting up. Gally certainly under his skin

That has to be a red! He was going to give him a yellow at first.

JDT bringing hedges on for Thomas…foookin brilliant!

Get in!!!! Hedges finally finished one for us. Who says Gally has no touch (me). But what a back heel.

Beat him near side. Both center backs should have done better. Hyam late to close down, Carter got beat on the pass.

Knew it was coming after not putting them away.

X goals should be improving after this one.

Thomas made a mess of that.

4-0 BBD with a hat trick and Thomas gets his first for Rovers!

Buckley’s scan results being faxed over by the same people handling transfers it would appear

Problem today was we were set up the same as the last few to press them high up the pitch. We didn’t, or couldn’t and that left loads of time and space around our box. To make matters worse we couldn’t win a single 50:50 and we’re second best all over the pitch. Tactically we got it wrong and mentally the players weren’t up to it.

Gally is Quick to give the ball away that’s for sure

JDT too late to make the changes. Britain for JRC should have been made at half. Same BBD for Dolan.

The 2 goals will mask what was otherwise an embarrassing display.

Been very critical of Gally but that was a great header. By far the best airial duel I’ve ever seen him win

Brittan showing why he should have come on at half

Shocking defense by Gally, Hedges and JRC. Basically sums up the entire night. Stoke wanting it more. Hard to pick out a single player that’s played well

Just commenting on the willingness for players to dive today and call every thing into question

Gallys touch lets him down. Totally misplayed by stoke at the back and Gally is in but can’t get the ball out from underneath himself.

Buckley seems to be in some serious pain

The first one was fair play…about as close to fair play as we’ve been all night

Dack outperformed everyone else that half.

Definitely a penalty on Hayem. Maybe one for us too

Dolan at fault again. Not alone mind you as the ball should have been cleared well before. But both goals his man gets in behind
