Stop giving the ball away

[David O'Day]

ref mate

 

[SkyblueTexan]

That was a foul on EMC!!

 

[Nick]

Surely a foul on eMC?

 

[Darth Robins]

I was joking before, but now I actually do think the ref might be bent. Fucking shocking so far.

 

[Winny the Bish]

Allen is not a defensive midfielder. Beat for the cross and a few sloppy passes already.

 

[coop]

Dovin should be out catching that cross

 

[covcity4life]

Saka struggling to get into game so far

 

[Winny the Bish]

Please don’t let Milan be injured

 

[Nick]

Mve slipped and injured

 

[Macca]

We are away from home in a tough league. Just because people have built us up from also rans to automatic promotion based on a couple of signings doesn't mean its easy

 

[Nick]

Looked like the keeper took that out the box

 

[LastGarrison]

We need to get our foot on the ball and try and maintain a bit of possession.

We seem a little frantic on the ball at the moment.

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

Stoke look quicker to every ball so far, and that little bit stronger - hopefully they’ll get tired soon

Good save Ollie by the way

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Allen sucks..we miss Sheaf

 

[MalcSB]

Good save

 

[pusbccfc]

Allen struggling. Torp nowhere.

 

[PVA]

Ffs Allen again

 

[Nick]

Good save I think

 

[covcity4life]

Oh my gosh Allen looks like a child out there

 

[San Francisco]

Britannia looking empty except for our corner.

 

[procdoc]

So shaky at the back

 

[larry_david]

Midfield being bypassed by a simple forward pass every time. Torp touched the ball yet?

Making stoke look good here so far. Gotta stay in this and calm it down

 

[Nick]

Allen again

 

[StrettoBoy]

Could easily be 2-0 down.

A top 15 finish may be beyond us this season

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Has Torp touched the ball yet? Wingers also not in the game at all.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Really just not got going so far. Need to sharpen up.

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

Allen sucks..we miss Sheaf

Allen doesn’t suck, he’s just not a DM

agree we miss Sheaf though, and shows we are crying out for and still need at least one more quality centre / defensive mid

 

[SkyblueTexan]

We've been pinned back too deep. Please sub Allen now!!

 

[procdoc]

Get Eccles on at half time

 

[mmttww]

Luis Binks' diagonals...

 

[Covstar]

All Stoke, lucky not to be behind here.

 

[David O'Day]

Midfield being bypassed by a simple forward pass every time. Torp touched the ball yet?

Making stoke look good here so far. Gotta stay in this and calm it down

yeah but he got 2 footed 2 seconds later

 

[Winny the Bish]

Allen outmuscled and stoke go close again. Christ.

 

[Skyblueweeman]

Torps been so quiet
