Very difficult for 3 players to come into the side for a match against a top team and be fully at it. Smith hasn't played for weeks so almost an impossible task for him tonight. I'm not necessarily defending them but it was a big (and bad) call to start these players due to there lack of game time thus far. In all fairness I thought Vokes put a shift in.

Yep useless as Edwards has been, throwing the equally useless but not even match fit Smith in against that forward line was suicidal.

Vokes was absolutely pitiful tonight, didnt win one header. No left side threat whatsoever until McLean came in.
In fact dogshit formation and tactics, delap should be no where near that team on Saturday

After 55 years of attending Stoke games I'm prtty sure that Smith & Ward are probably the worst full back pairing I've ever seen.
We have had worse individuals at full back but I struggle to recall a worse pair playing together.
As for Vokes he is a poor man's Jon Parkin without the footballing ability/attitude, i.e a lazy, useless fat bastard

Liam Lindsay makes Ibrahima Sonko look like Franz Beckenbauer.
The single shittest centre back I’ve seen for a good while.

Good servant, but utter, utter crap as a coach and now caretaker. |

He’s bloody awful isn’t he He was one of the ones when we signed that despite knowing fuck all about him I thought could be useful because he was meant to play the ball well. I have no idea what Barnsley fans think good football is but he can’t kick a ball. I said a month ago he should never play for us again and I stand by that. Go into the 23s and 18s before he plays. He’s absolutely wank. |

Your in charge of recruitment at Stoke. You have two choices:
1. A young, athletic centre back who is good on the ball. He played very well against you twice last season and although relegated was his sides stand out performer. He also had a good pedigree being involved in an excellent youth set up.
Or
2. A young centre back who is anything but athletic and who's distribution is utterly fucking dross. He has no pedigree at all, in fact in his younger days was playing the equivalent of the PDSL veterans league. A quick check would also have seen many say he wasnt the better of the Two centre half's in his former clubs promotion season.

It really is amazing how people see things so differently. I thought Vokes was abysmal and their centre half didn't give him anything and totally nullified him. Not helped by the fact his strike partner was once again blowing out of his backside after 30 minutes or so. And from the other excuses for footballers, Smith and Ward are the worst pair of full backs I can recall seeing for a long time, not playing for weeks isn't an excuse. For me, only Badou looked to be giving it his all. Overpaid, over rated garbage virtually the lot of them. They should be embarrassed to pick up their pay packets. |

Only a complete mental case could think that the FBs that Jones signed are half as good as the pair he released.
Smith is bloody awful and Ward is simply past his sell by date.

I'm absolutely convinced that under the right manager Wimmer could be much better than the current lot. Bauer is certainly better than Smith too. We need a good steady manager who is capable of getting the best out of the squad we have including the crap signings made by Jones the clueless bastard |

He cant run , he cant jump but he put a shift in , question is who thought he was a 10m footballer. Looks like a Sunday League player at this level . |

Bart is worse than Lindsay.
Playing Vokes feels like we are going back to the old eras of football and is actually funny to watch.
Ward is retired.
Smith is not interested in rolling his sleeves up.
McClean is pointlessly pointless.
Campbell is a League One player.
Allen, who’s Allen?
Clucas is our best player !!!
Ahhhhhhhhh it burns

Would love to know if he genuinely was a Jones signing or if the transfer team foisted him on us. |
