Match Thread Stoke away 10th August 12:30 - Opening day! (2 Viewers)

[2024/25 League 1 Champs?]

I would’ve taken Allen off for BTA rather than Simms, but other than that I’m not sure you can blame Robins - Eccles could’ve started but to be honest hasn’t been great since he’s been on, I think the problem is we don’t have a midfielder capable of running the game, putting a foot on the ball, slowing it down when needed, upping the pace when needed, Sheaf being injured is a blow and we STILL haven’t realised we need another option

Allen isn’t the answer, he’ll be this year’s Liam Kelly / Matt Godden if he continues to start

Palmer was fouled then?

 

[procdoc]

We were on top then Robins made 3 changes utter madness for me.

But every poster on here was crying out for subs

 

[mark82]

Take your time lads.

 

[pusbccfc]

Awful awful refereeing.

 

[SIR ERNIE]

If stoke are poor what are we ? we have been awful

As I said, Stoke are a poor Championship team, they're the sort of team you'd expect us to be beating if we are serious top 6 contenders.

We had a clear penalty not given, so things could've been different. We've played well second half.

It was definitely a foul of sort, given outside the box?

 

[CovInEssex]

Stoke are fucking shit as well, they've got loads of injuries ffs

 

[Nick]

Was anybody actually offside?

 

[mark82]

Palmer was fouled then?

Yeah, but we've not been getting them.

 

[OldBedrocker]

WANK

 

[ptr]

Didn’t think I’d be saying this but subs way too early. Weakened the team when we were on top.

Awful performance, no creativity, no pace , lack of imagination, lose to Oxford next week and Robins is under pressure.

 

[Sick Boy]

Very poor start.

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

Very disappointing
Need two midfielders
Sheaf back and a n other

 

[Garlana86]

Alot of people have us for autos this season, yes it's the first game, but I think they were only looking at our attacking options.

 

[mark82]

Piss poor. Get your cheque book out Doug.

 

[HadjiChippo]

expected much, much more from us

 

[procdoc]

Dreadful

 

[wingy]

Fuck off goalie!!

Fucking shit all round. Be nice to test the keeper now and then. Reminded me of the start of last season.

 

[Covcraig@bury]

Very very poor mid table at best if that’s what we have got to offer

 

[procdoc]

Midfield not good enough and Bobby Thomas has no composure at all. We need an experienced centre half sharpish

They're overestimating us, unfortunately. Play-offs are more achievable.

 

[Sky Blue Goblin]

Taking simms off was madness he was the only one holding up the play and allowing our midfield to play in. Why not take Allen off and go 4-4-2

No he is not

Very boring and poor.

 

[Great_Expectations]

Poor start and a shite performance.

But it’s game one, fine to be pissed off but don’t lose the plot.

So much time to go, and I expect a few more incomings too.

 

[hill83]

Football is back then

 

[SkyblueTexan]

This was on MR. Poor lineup to start the game. EMC can only play from the bench. Wright to start the next match. Allen and Torp need to be dropped. Sheaf/Eccles and Palmer or Lati must start. We need another CM for sure.

 

[Ashdown]

Absolutely the manager stopped our momentum straight off there.

 

[Mr Panda]

Midfield needs sorting ASAP
Thomas needs a good night sleep before game day

 

[Skyblue in Baku]

Ah well, back to the drawing board.............
