Match Thread Stoke away 10th August 12:30 - Opening day! (3 Viewers)

[HadjiChippo]

Haji and Thomas-Asante, such quality from the bench, could be a game changer

 

---

[fatso]

We're definitely not crying out for Palmer

Well it would appear MR doesn't agree with you.

 

[Johnnythespider]

Three subs on the hour, I'm feeling quite giddy

 

[StrettoBoy]

Good substitutions and at the right time.

 

[stupot07]

Allen stays on

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

Simms, Haji and BTA all on the field - this could be fireworks!!

 

[MalcSB]

Again nothing from the referee.

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Give him a yellow ffs ref!!

 

[Nick]

How didn't he book him?

 

[LastGarrison]

Gooch is sweating

Get some talcum powder on it

 

[SkyblueTexan]

I think BTA will score.

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

Simms, Haji and BTA all on the field - this could be fireworks!!

Oh didn’t see Simms go off

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Simms, Haji and BTA all on the field - this could be fireworks!!

Simms has gone off

 

[MalcSB]

I do hope the club put in a negative report about this twat of a referee.

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

Well it would appear MR doesn't agree with you.

He's still on the bench isn't he?

 

[OldBedrocker]

I'd have left Torp on.

100%

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Allen stays on

That's a shocker

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

Allen stays on

but possibly pushed further forward with Eccles holding - more natural positions so hopefully better

 

[mark82]

That's a foul anywhere else on the pitch.

 

[Evo1883]

Well it's been a bit better second half upto now , strong changes too bloody hell

 

[OldBedrocker]

Allen stays on

Joke he’s been the weak link

 

[Ccfcisparks]

How is that not a penalty

 

[mark82]

That's a clear foul.

 

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

I do hope the club put in a negative report about this twat of a referee.

…and some on this thread too, can we put in negative reports about them too?

 

[Johnnythespider]

I do hope the club put in a negative report about this twat of a referee.

Do the powers that be taken any notice of that ?

 

[Nick]

Allen is doing well going forward.

Mve fouled in the box

 

[procdoc]

That's a shocker

He’s had a good second half

 

[SeaSeeEffCee]

Can see this finishing 0-0

 

[RegTheDonk]

.Jake Bidwell

 

[Nick]

Bidwell

Nobody else gambled and got in the box

 

[MalcSB]

Do the powers that be taken any notice of that ?

Presumably not else Ward wouldn’t still be officiating.

 

[Nick]

How has he given them the throw??

 

[SkyBlue_Bear83]

I'd have left Simms on tbh, him and Haji have the better knowledge of each others game from last season.

 

[jim20]

That’s the problem with this league, refs so poor that you get some teams like stoke here and Preston who stop you playing by continually fouling

 

[SkyblueTexan]

Get Thompson off!
