Really good header. But I still don't believe we are getting owt. Shame we have left it so late to turn up.

Consolation goal reduces the embarrassment at least. First shot on target, against a keeper who will have been nervous tonight. Lovely cross from Brittain.

Ref is a moron. What a dive from Smallbone, took about three quick steps after what I'm not even sure was contact from Morton, still got him booked.

You think we'll concede 10 goals in the next 30 minutes?

Cool, exactly what this game wasn't crying out for - Tyler Morton. (Yes I know it's enforced)

Keeper hasn't played in a while I assume. Need to test him. But we've produced 0 shots on target.

Sorry I don't understand what you mean?

Think Szmodics' shot had a good angle and curl on it too, could have landed top corner if the Stoke lad hadn't clearly swung his arms out. I disagree with most handballs that are given, but that one is a definite hand to ball.

Hyam...more of one than the first one they claimed, but he went down very very easy. Just trying to win one more than genuinely fouled, but seen them given. Very bad half. Those shot stats (10, 4 on target for Stoke, 3, 0 on target for us) and of course the scoreline, sum up how little we deserved.

Zero chance we get a point tonight now. Blatant penalty for us there, didn't see it at the time but the replay makes it a very obvious penalty for handball.

Fucking blatant foul on Travis before that goal

This better be our shitter half, or we're gonna get dicked more than Annabel Chong.

What do you think of shit?

Pears looks nervous. I fear a return to the old Aynsley. Much like we are seeing the old Rovers who fuck about too much at the back. JDT needs to get this under control at half penalty. Commentator is off his tits. I watched that replay and laughed at the Stoke player's pathetic attempt, yet he says Carter was fortunate not to give away a penalty lol. Yet no comment on how they should have been booked for the high foot on 'Travers'.

Stoke's manager's comments before the game suggest to me he knows enough about how we play that he won't let them over commit seeking a 2nd. He knows we are best on the counter. They're hardly shutting up shop but I don't think they'll stretch right open for us.

All that talk of feeling invincible...I didn't like it, and this complacency is why.

Shame, I'd take that over the position we're now in just a few minutes later.

Too easy. Uphill struggle now, we know how poor we are from losing positions. Time to put that demon to bed so we can be real contenders.

Maybe end your boycott then and get tickets before boarding? Might help you get to places you wanna be.

I got a small bone from him not doing though.

Commentator doing my nut in already. Can't pronounce Szmodics' name, he just called him Smog Dicks just now. And just mentioned Lewis 'Travers'. Fuck me that should be 1-0. Defence need to up their game today, looked shakey so far.

Gilsenan with the 4th. Not heard his name for a while but he was once described as the Irish Messi I believe? Think I heard he had some injury problems this season?

Third goal by Ethan Walker, that's 3 games running he has scored, I believe. The lads have had 5 shots, all on target, and 3 goals. That's good going. Shame this isn't a league match, we could do with the points (assuming we don't fuck it up from here).

Only took 30 mins for it to be at 2-1. Was 2-0 (J. Edmondson and O'Grady-Macken) until Clinton Mola decided to show why he doesn't get in the first team and scored an OG. Not that I know it was really his fault tbf, I'm not watching.

Well you're not helping your argument there...
