Spent to much time in the Wrights Pie shop judging by the size of him.

Takes an age to even throw the ball down the line

I lost count the amount of times Ince made a run or called for the ball. Edwards then proceeding to pass it backwards.

I thought his form at the back end of the season was very good under Jones, then he started this season quite average and has got worse.
Can have no complaints if he spends a while out of the side.

Just following the standard career trajectory of most every player that has emerged (escaped) from the youth set up for the past 30 years or so !

He seemed reluctant to pass it back early in the game but that's where his teammates were pointing.
Is it possible he's instructed to keep it simple unless a high percentage ball is on, or is that too fanciful?

It was a waste of a sub.
The issues stemmed from zero movement in front of him.

It was a waste of a sub. The issues stemmed from zero movement in front of him. There were a few occasions when Ince made a decent run and Edwards still passed back. For me, his defending is better than it was last season and early this season - but he seems to have forgotten how to thread a decent forward pass. His best moment today came with a good cross into the box in the first 10 minutes and it was downhill from then on - one of his cross field balls to the other wing was about 5 yards behind the player he aimed at.

The front 4 needed subbing ideally. Subbing Edwards changed absolutely nothing.

He will spend his career in the lower leagues once he leaves us.
Nowt wrong with a career at that level, but that's where his future lies.

Whether it changed anything or not it was the correct decision at the time because he was woeful.He could have played forward on numerous occasions but chose to play back and across time after time much to the manager/crowds frustration

It hindered what the manager could do later which was the. compounded by one of the most ridiculous subs I’ve seen by a Stoke manager in bringing Hogan on up front on his own. 2 wasted subs in a game that needed changing, of course that matters.

Disappointing from Tom.....
After the way he was finishing last season before his injury, I thought he'd grab the bull by the horns this season, and although his confidence may have been shot a little when Jones brought Smith in, he still hasn't proved any point when he's had the chance!!!
He somehow seems to have regressed!!!
