Decent defebsivly. Stoke not rly had a good chance. Attack still disjointed. Wright's been poor. Godden and sheaf been great tho. O hare and saka on second half at some point and hopefully we can make a breakthrough

All very ordinary both teams, we have some quality on the bench think we are going to need it, just looks like a one goal winner.

Thought we looked a lot better than previous weeks in fairness.

Would be interesting to see Simms move central, Sakamoto on for Godden playing RW and O’Hare on for Allen.

Game is there for the taking, their only out ball is to their left winger.

Come on City! #PUSB

OK if its not a foul "it was literally stood on him", why did he then give them a frekick for lati defending the ball?

i was in front of it it was powder puff from simms and handball - Wright was miles off and some are saying he was on - ref has had a good game

I’m just not really sure what the plan is. Or worse, im not sure there is a plan
There is no plan. The whole recruitment over the Summer was based on 352. He's just hoping something will work at this point.

Ok half, Stoke are decent, but all the football from both teams is in the middle third.

We look a very poor team though. Godden, Sheaf and Bidwell have been the pick of bunch so far.

How the fuck was it handball when he had the ball between his feet?

I think is going ok, you drop Palmer or O Hare in instead if of Allen and you have a bit of a play maker in the centre instead of just a ok work horse and the chances would be created

But if we'd have scored we would be winning.......

By the sound of most of these comments and the CWR commentary I’m glad I kept my £74 in my wallet . Let’s hope it improves sometime soon.

Didn't realise the performance on the pitch dictated the atmosphere. Why don't the fans try and make it a little enjoyable?

You can change the formation as many times as you like, it still doesn’t hide the abject lack of creativity in midfield.
Yeh this is of course a major problem that a staggering amount of people were ok to go into the season with.

Don't think we are too bad today couple of good chances and they are finding it really hard to break us down. Simms playing better than in previous week's looks to be trying hard and tracking back a fair amount. Look solid at the back and great cross from bidwell would like to see more. Godden reasonable effort given he needed to thread it between 2. Wright not having a great one and Eccles and sheaf only so so. Allen busy as always.

I like the physicality of the back 4. And although Collins hasn't had much to do, he looks comfortable with the ball at his feet.

I agree the ref has hardly been noticed which is sign he’s done ok, can’t keep blaming referees imo we need to up our game, this Stoke team ain’t very good.

Would prefer MVE at RB but I think it's been a major positive, we've looked quite solid. Hoping this post doesn't age poorly of course.

As expected with the lineup, zero creativity. 😴
Need to be more direct down the channels to cause them any sort of problems.

You’re right and as soon as we did that Simms did really well to get free down the right but his pass was a touch aimless. Decent opportunity.

Thinking about it, Collins behind Kitching and Thomas makes sense given how well they know each other.

Ooh, close effort from Wright

Wright should have got that on target. Good move and lovely ball in from Godden.
