How many times has he been sucked inside and lost his man that then leads to a goal or clear cut chance?! Seems like at least 3 per game!

Nick · Mar 9, 2015

Is that because the left midfielder is miles away so he runs with his man and leaves one free?

skybluesam66 · Mar 9, 2015

so on saturday the first 2 maybe down his side
The 3rd was AWFUL goalkeeping

he was standing on his left post - offering the whole of the net to the Vale player

matesx · Mar 9, 2015

I was at the opposaite end of the ground and could see he was going to score

lewys33 · Mar 9, 2015

I think Stokes has been chucked in the deep end. He has little to no cover in front of him, and ultimately has been a decent defender.

True, several times on Saturday he was left exposed in a two-on-one situation with no cover and when one of the two was Marshall he had no chance. My own feeling is that he could be a good prospect, just needs a better midfield in front of him but that applies to the whole defensive set-up.

Not sure why there's so much anger towards Stokes. I think he looks pretty decent, better than any other left-back at the Club. Circumstances aren't perfect for him admittedly, but taking that into account I think he's doing well. As others have said he has no protection in front of him.

covcity4life · Mar 9, 2015

unlcuky stokes, you aint one of ours like jordan clarke,burge and haynes.

they are amazing but you just suck

SkyBlueScottie · Mar 9, 2015

I thought he looked as though he was in a struggle on Saturday, which then had a knock on effect to the rest of his game, however he didnt have much protection at any point of the game.

steveecov · Mar 9, 2015

What a poor shower some are. Like back at school....Let's pick on the new boy.

SkyBlueScottie · Mar 9, 2015

We must have somebody to blame, Pressley has gone, therefore a new scapegoat is required!! Lets all shout and scream, point fingers. It makes us feel better.

Scream,. and shout, and let it all out!

Unfortunately, a lot does not stay on here; it transfers itself vocally pitch-side.

If Stokes is the best left back we have than fuck me , a dead corpse could defend better than the useless twat, Shocking at Barnsley and shocking saturday. We cannot afford to carry someone who the opposition is licking their lips at every week.

KG7 · Mar 9, 2015

Whenever I've seen Stokes he's looked pretty solid.

Didn't see him at Barnsley, but away at Sheffield, home against MK and at home on Saturday he looked reasonable.

He may have been at fault for one of the goals but all of our players have a mistake in them and that doesn't make them a bad player.

no_loyalty · Mar 10, 2015

Whatever happened to our first choice left back Danny Pugh?

He is certainly a lot better than fans favourite Haynes.

He wasn't shocking at Barnsley. He is much better defensively than Haynes. Doesn't get forward as much which is maybe why people are getting at him.

I think ultimately people don't like to be wrong. There were so many slagging him off prior to even seeing him play because of where he has come from that he would have to be world class for people to accept they were wrong in their initial uninformed judgement.

So you're just going to ignore the other games he played well in then? And he wasn't shocking at Barnsley either. If it wasn't for the fact that he's come from Forest Green hw wouldn't be getting anywhere near this level of abuse. Pathetic.

He wasn't even our worst defender. Martin was embarrassingly bad.

No what is pathetic is his defending, his attributes that offer nothing, and the way he was easily ripped vs both Barnsley, MK and Port Vale, absolute shocking defender and certainly no league one standard.

Hes a liability and will be seen as the weak link by every opposition manager, Vale saw it on Saturday when they switched Marshall to attack him.

I don't care where he has came from, he is certainly not good enough and was a panick signing by Waggott and his little mate Hockaday.

Evo1883 · Mar 10, 2015

Fitness is his biggest problem atm ,looks fucked after 55 mins each time ive seen him

TM said he leaned heavily on hockaday and macfarlane for his first game, he has now seen everyone play be it first team,academy or u21 development team.

if he thinks stokes aint up to it i am sure haynes will start tonight. so chill with the still man

Gaz71 · Mar 10, 2015

After tonight's game my opinion on Stokes has gone down again, he does the basics very badly and at best just lumps balls forward, his throw-ins put us under pressure and his crosses on the overlap either go out or too long and put us on the back foot. Haynes all day for me!

He was better today imo, I was very critical of him after Port Vale but he did ok today I thought.

CCFCKirky · Mar 10, 2015

I thought he was much improved and did ok

Great_Expectations · Mar 10, 2015

He started nervously and was skinned too easily within the first five minutes but improved as the game went on.

If he was 'targeted' today as the 'obvious' weakness in the team, it wasn't evident so either a) he wasn't targeted as a weak link or b) he was defensively solid.

Sky Blue Pete · Mar 10, 2015

It's not stokes fault that he is the best we can afford. Pressley obrien and Webster should hang their heads in shame for Ryan Haynes disappearance from the first team

PVA · Mar 11, 2015

First time I've seen him play, thought he was awful. Constantly gave the ball away.

Haynes much better imo.

ccfctommy · Mar 11, 2015

Thought he did okay today.

lewys33 · Mar 11, 2015

I thought he had a bad/average game last night. The Coventry effect is kicking in.

LB87ccfc · Mar 11, 2015

Another dreadful performance, anyone who says he is decent has clearly never played football at a decent level or is used to watching shit.
