Mad behaviour, half the east stand went mental because Dabo didn't instantly take a throw in even though there was nothing on for him

Was the same against Preston in our first game. Fans panicked at every single touch.

So frustrating. Stoke have looked very good to be fair, pressed well, left no outlets, but we’ve been a shambles so far. No composure. Need to come out all firing second half

I think we'd be losing against basically anyone today. As for them, they should be 5 or 6 up but their only goals have been from a cross cum shot and a guy who looks several light years offside.

Unfortunately that gives no clue to whether it was offside or not, every single one of our players were stationary so even a 10 meter sprint a player would look like Usain bolt on a still like that.

Was going to send a grab through but PVA beat me to it. However, if you add a frame before then Eccles is almost at the halfway line - he's moved a few metres compared to 20-odd by the Stoke player in the second frame. Dabo must have seen he was a mile off, hence stepping up. Lino is way behind.

Biamou in with the legends.. any chance we can get him on the pitch?

Boos at half time is embarrassing

Is there any way it took a touch off one of our players?

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Shocking half

 

[slondonskyblue]

Was it offside? I was in line and it looked so offside.

 

[Grendel]

Given how quickly the ball has travelled, he must be the fastest man alive to be that far ahead and not be offside

I think he was offside but our players didn’t move at all in fact the guy at the bottom of the screen - the stoke player - was the only other one in the area when he scored

Hasn’t he retired?

 

[David O'Day]

We’ve been shite

So has the ref, it's not mutually exclusive

Form is temporary, athleticism is permanent

Eccles and McNally were both in the area too and level with the other Stoke player

 

[Sick Boy]

Don’t understand how it could be onside - did the players protest?

Wow

So has the linesman by the looks of things, never say never

Certainly didn't look like it on the replay.

Unfortunately without the camera view you just can't tell. It looks it, but we can't tell for certain. Dabo is stepping up at the same time their striker is moving forward. If Eccles is just jogging back then it's not really an indication. Regardless, we fully deserve to be 2-0 down.

Course they didn't.

Can we bring Hutch on?

Think they were for the lino

 

[Skybluecol]

Shite but I'm so sick of the negative day trippers. Booing and moaning when they slow up play.

I'm a STH but the people who attend only the odd game have as much say as we all do, you absolute fuckin prick. Anyone calling any of our supporters day trippers need to have a word with themselves. Personal financial situations could be the cause and you judge this, you can afford to be here often yet those who can't...you're "sick of the negative day trippers" ?? Fuckin massive nobhead

 

[Sick Boy]

Triple sub coming up

 

[pusbccfc]

Love it when Robins loses his head

 

[The Philosopher]

I’m watching from my place in in the Costa Blanca, Spain.

Ifollow wouldn’t work until I switched on the VPN. Tried various countries - nothing worked. Turned back off / nothing then VPN ON, selected “Madrid, Spain”. Works. Bizarre.

Anyway.

Formation all wrong.

Dabo and McNally and Eccles not on it.

Sheaf? Brilliant of late and now got the new contract curse.

Godden isn’t suited to this formation. Just doesn’t work.

Subs?

I can only suggest getting BNC for Dabo, Howley for Godden and pack the midfield.

 

[SIR ERNIE]

0-2 flatters us regardless of whether it was offside or not.

 

[PVA]

Are facts funny @Grendel and @Sick Boy ?

 

[PVA]

We desperately need to upgrade both wing backs in the summer

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Should have stayed at home when I saw Grendel forecasting victory

 

[SkyblueDad]

Regardless of their second goal we are lucky to be only two down our normally tight defence have been woeful defending, passing and bringing the ball out, McNally & Doyle both look naive and McFadz looks looks 36, obviously need an early goal second half I reckon Stoke defence would struggle under pressure.

 

[sometimesDanielle]

Oggy says Dabo messed up the offside. I believe him.

 

[Cov98]

Surely regretting giving Fadz that deal, he’s been very poor for weeks

Not like we have anyone else really. The rest of our defence are loan players.

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

Oggy says Dabo messed up the offside. I believe him.

He must have been 10 yards out of position to have done that?

 

[PVA]

Oggy says Dabo messed up the offside. I believe him.

To be fair there weren't many protests. Just looked really weird in real time

 

[pusbccfc]

Another decision to Stoke
