I believe stokes is better defensively than haynes,doesnt mean he is good enough though,the fact stokes was pulled off suggests mowbray knew he needed the better attacking full back on to try and get the 3 points.Stokes distribution is painful at times ...FactSo - are you saying every time Mowbray takes a player off that player in mowbrays opinion is woeful?
If stokes starts next game do you think he believed Haynes was even more woeful?
Do you think Mowbray has been wrong to believe stokes is superior to Haynes defensively?
No they singled him as the weakness and ruined us first half down the left,murphy wasnt blame free though i admit

Grendel , you are a person who claimed reda was pretty average every week and persistently singled him out,we have conceded 4 goals in the 2 games without him ,excuse me if i take your very high opinion of stokes with a pinch of saltThe fact is Haynes lived down to expectations with another dire performance.

LolOdd. I am merely saying that the manager sees stokes as capable and more capable than Haynes.
Johnson is average but average is bettor than Phillips who was he defender targeted today,
Oh and we have conceded goals when Saint Reda was in the team. Stokes needs a Facebook or Twitter account as that surpasses football ability with the clueless masses round here.
Stokes is already on twitter
The fact is Haynes lived down to expectations with another dire performance.
He needs to up it then - he doesn't have the kudos of Johnson, edjuingele or baker who all created hero status through social media and not by on pitch delivery
Stokes has performed above expectation - but he's one poor game away from dogs abuse by the baying masses on here purely as he's from a non league background.
He gives 110% , i will give him thatMore bollox. Everybody I know has great regard for Stokes. Not our best left back ever but honest and gives 100% of his best ability in every game. I believe appreciated by the majority of fans.
Think he did miss Reda who hails him out on the odd occasion & usually puts a crunching tackle or 2 in on the wideman.
But I really felt for Stokes today with the performance of the man in front of him in that first half.
I geneuinely can't get my head around Murphy was very very odd to see a pro completely lose his head like that just wandered around, wasn't thinking, interested, even his corners were like a stroppy child kicking a ball he didn't want to kick.
The point is his energy and industry help fleck and vincelot. Without him they are over run.
Armstrong ends up wandering deep in the middle and looks lost.
When people give ratings they should look at both halves and judge accordingly.
We just will have to go with Murphy as he always seems to be capable of destroying teams at the end.
He created the goals for Armstrong but if jOB hadn't played we'd have lost.
Kent still annoyed me, yes he runs at players but doesn't actually do anything with it. Weak shots or passes.

Armstrong was woeful in the first half - the Mowbray interview suggests he was told to start playing like a centre forward.
A splendid summary. Will be interesting to see who misses out for Cole, as Mowbray said on the radio he will be playing.
No, he said he would be involved. Didn't say he would start, and I don'think he will.
