This is so poor. Could easily be 2-3 nil down. No midfield at all without Sheaf. Allen having a mare. Neither winger offering anything. We're so open, too open.

I don't think ref has actually been all that bad but once he gives that foul by Thompson on Tats it has to be a yellow.

Perhaps I suggest the crowning of EMC being better than Wright was slightly premature

Always concerning when the linesman flags for a throw in rather than an offside.

we need to realise they are playing the same way Preston and Sheff Utd do, strong and bullying us off the ball - we always struggle against this kind of tactic and maybe need to find a way to play against big lumpy teams

maybe play them at their own game and get stuck in a bit more, although Allen and Torp are pretty lightweight

It is baffling Eccles isn't playing. All these new coaches, surely one of them should have had a word! Torp is getting bullied, as is Allen.

Eccles must have a knock, don't know how/why he's not starting otherwise

He booked Binks for less in the second minute, it's absolutely diabolical.

Robins’s tactics, allow them the space and contain them, then go for it second half

Makes me realise how poor Everton must be. We looked like world beaters against them

He has been Terrible… player goes straight through one of ours a minute before binks got booked for a slight pull… players going through back of rudoni and we get nothing, then the guy blatantly pulls Saka back, much worse than binks, and again just gets a warning.He has no consistency at all

A genuinley poor half by city , stoke niggly pulling players constantly going unpunished .. my only hope is stoke have gave it all first half and will tire ..midfield been very poor and Simms is so isolated

Stoke have clocked that the ref is giving them everything and falling down every chance they get now
