Bayern didn’t do well in science in school. He never quite understood the relationship between evidence and opinion. He could have scored a hat trick and it would mean fuck all because it’s a friendly. That’s how friendlies work. Lucky you were not around, bayern, when Waddo took the team to the Nou Camp and beat Barca 3-2 in a friendly. You have been the only Stokie who took no satisfaction in the result!

Just back First half very impressive, should have been six up at half time Second half not impressive, of the subs I thought Godwin did OK Coates was game. Brown, who played all right miss of the decade, Martin Carruthers reborn. Doughty had his moments but man of the match by a mile was Wilmot As for Crewe Alex ...PA was embarrassing, better PA men at non league grounds. Brilliant reception for Ashton. Brown had a tremendous game with some superb runs and excellent interchange with Powell and Fletcher. His miss of the season as you say, well...ive seen worse.

We look woefully short up front with only Fletcher & Brown, who is a striker/right sided wide man as options.

Wilmot looks quality,
Powell and vrancic look exciting together,
Allen playing in front of back 4, just what we need, do that and don’t go on 1,
Doherty not so sure yet
When fletcher went off, we struggled to hold the ball up,
We have no depth, which is a worry,

Happy for him to continue missing sitters in pre season. In season is where it counts. Let’s hope he gets them out the way now.

For some hes gone from a hat trick hero to a miss of the season.....like i said his running and interchange play was superb.

True mate, 1st half we were very good (albeit against a very poor Crewe side) very impressed with vrancic, Wilmot looked good, brown didn't stop running (we'll ignore the miss, one of the worst you will ever see) Powell looked sharp, doughty was very leggy as you would expect. If I'm basing it on today, Bursik should be number 1. Youngsters got a run out and of course the standard dropped off second half because of this. On the whole a good 90 minutes and most importantly, alot of money raised for young Ashton! Doughty's legginess to one side, how was (a) his pace, and (b) his crossing? He is a winger, after all. Excellent pace Crossing looked fine Tame shooting though Clearly knackered second half but is coming back from an injury Overall good game

Carruthers did that twice mind Brown was good first half as you say linked up really well Not so much second half I think Brown is all right but that miss was astonishing Fortunately it doesn't matter

Doughty was excellent in the first half but was anonymous 2nd half.
Vrancic and Powell were very good in front of Allen.
Smith played well, Fletcher does what he does and Brown worked hard but missed an open goal.
2nd half we were a shambles but as has been said it was all change and the players who came on aren't good enough for a 2nd string league one side.

Fell apart when Joe Allen went off,but don't tell Bayern, 😉 It’s a friendly who gives a shit 😂😂 I do for one. I remember people said it didn't matter when we had a dreadful pre-seasons with Rowett and Jones. It does matter very much and I doubt MON is very happy with the performance in the second half and thinks it doesn't matter.

There’s nothing to be taken from them.

It’s a friendly who gives a shit 😂😂 Bayern didn’t do well in science in school. He never quite understood the relationship between evidence and opinion. Harsh. He's statistically likely to stumble on a correct opinion at some point. He's the answer to the question "if bayernoatcake has an infinite number of opinions on an infinite number of topics forever, how long till he's right?"

Respectfully suggest you're confusing "shithousery" with "mixing it". Powell thrives on being "mixed" - we meed someone to do the mixing on our behalf.

We were excellent 1st half, moved the ball well and looked sharp. We won the game 1st half and understandably took foot off gas in the 2nd.
The midfield 3 that played 1st half won’t start many championship games though as lacked that physicality.
We are short of big, strong ball winner in midfield and another striker. Can’t rely on Fletcher to stay fit, Goodwin is only a kid.
Doughty didnt look fit, clearly needs games.
Paid particular attention to Brown being the 1st time I’ve seen him in there flesh- was actually very good full of running, made good runs and caused problems- missed a sitter mind.
Wilmot was excellent- superb on the ball, calm and assured at the back , read game well well. Looks to be an excellent acquisition.
Feeling positive - but the squad looks thin.

The midfield lacks running power and defensive discipline. We’ve got to get someone in who gives us that to allow the likes of Powell and Vrancic the freedom to go and play.
