Edwards 2nd half was dreadful too mate He was repeatedly rinsed by El Ghazi including for the goal having given the ball away very easily in the first place. Doesn't change how poor Diouf was. I was just pointing out Diouf wasn't alone in his poohness. Edwards picked up a bad knock in the first half - around 35 minutes ish and he visibly couldn't move properly for a good 5-10 minutes to half time. If Bauer was on the bench I dare say he wouldn't have been on the pitch for their lad to rinse him because before his knock he hardly had a kick.

So a team of: Jack Batth Etebo Vokes And then pick the rest out of the crowd until the end of the season. I’m all for it. But Butland couldn't catch cold Batth is even worse than Shawcross No-one knows what Etebo is good at And Vokes is worse than Kyle Lightborne

Was really struggling like you say.

Some mitigation that it was only the second time he'd been on the pitch in nearly 6 months. But, yes, it was a classically bad Diouf performance. Our options up front are genuinely embarrassing. 33m worth

If Bauer was on the bench I dare say he wouldn't have been on the pitch for their lad to rinse him because before his knock he hardly had a kick. I clocked him limping for a bit first half but he seemed to run it off. If that's the case Jones had an even bigger mare than I thought. With this in mind can anyone explain why we had 2 centre halves on the bench? Neither of which can double up in any other position. Am I reading too much in to this but does Williams contract state he has to be in the squad if fit and would it be too much of a kick in the bollocks for the club captain to leave him out totally? Surely the best option would have been Bauer instead of one of them? A far more flexible (in every respect) player to have on the bench. (unless of course he was injured?).

Diouf’s worst enemy is time to think. When he has to just react he’s a half-decent player, when he had the ball on his own for about 10secs on the edge of their box you just knew where it would end up 😆

If anyone saw any positives from Diouf today then they are truly desparate. Constantly out of position, persistently offside, shoots when he should pass, passes when he should shoot - but can't pass or shoot anyway. Total waste of a sub today.

At least we now know that he has to be allowed to move on in the summer , i couldnt believe how bad he was today , he even pipped Ince for worst player .

Apparently people will allow a manager who has won one game over two months time to find himself until next season, but they won't allow a player who has seen little game time over a similar period time to get back in shape and to find his place in a system he's never played before...

80 minutes of staggering ineptitude. Was he really any worse than what Afobe or McLean have been offering lately? Yes. Comfortably the worse front man performance I’ve had the misfortune to witness all season. Utterly dreadful.

He was very, very pooh but I bet young Tom Edwards was glad he was on the pitch today. Edwards 2nd half was dreadful too mate That lad on the left skinned him for pace a few times but he gets no help at all from Ince.

He’s played in a 433 before. Anticipation, basic control and staying onside should be fairly universal for a bloke on 30-odd grand a week.

Has had years find himself ,never played in there before ?,he is meant be a striker for f sake ,he is by far the worst striker I have seen down stoke in a long time and I mean a long time ,he could manage be offside in his own half .

And probably rightly after such an abject performance, technically poor, completely off the pace and seemed disinterested. We don’t have other managers to choose from, we have other strikers, who although in the main are shite, are less shite than Diouf

As dire as Diouf was today I really do have to question the managers judgement for bringing him on so early on with little recent training under his belt nor full match playing opportunities. Diouf was clearly out of his depth today, looked unfit, disinterested & couldn't even make successful passes to red & white shirted team mates.. Are we really that depleted or lacking in depth that Diouf was the answer to Vokes going off injured today..?
If Jones did honestly see Diouf as the best addition to our forward line today I'm deeply concerned by his judgement & decision making. & likewise if he threw him on today knowing he was unfit & likely be off the pace & thought he'd show him up in view of his press comments this week, this is equally as concerning & could of proven costly.
I know it's been mentioned before but the lack of reserve matches these days has got to hinder players coming back in to the fold. The difference between the training ground to u23 or reserve matches is huge. As is the step up from u23/Reserve to first team action.. Diouf was on a hiding to nothing today & I really can't work out why Jones put him in such a precarious position that evidently backfired.
