So is ange1 no longer a member of the matchday commentary team? If that is the case I, for one, find that disappointing. I like her analysis and post match interviews.. plus she is a proper Stoke fan. I thought Andy Griffin was fine although I'm guessing he wont be found drinking in Ricardo's after the match New guy needs to bed in ( hopefully anyway as his description of the game wasn't the best )

Too Much chit chat and not enough attention to the actual match like which end the ball is and who scored

Finished work last night to catch the last 5 minutes plus the 7 minutes of stoppage time.... My first thought was that I'd picked up the wrong station, or radio Stoke were allowing an Albion commentator to do the show.... He sounded like he almost wanted West Brom to grab a late goal!!!

He didn't come over as a football supporter, & certainly not a Stoke supporter. He doesn't realise that he is there to describe what's going on. To paint a picture, as Nigel did. He needs to pronounce 'Boothen' correctly, as well. Too much emphasis on the 'th'. Not impressed. Some have said that he should be given time, but if he's a Pro he should slide into Nigel's seat seamlessly, so to speak. He wandered off too much.

I was a big supporter of Nige but he had a dignified exit. This new guy was OK on saturday I think if he had someone else with him he would have come over as a better presenter, peoples views might have been due to Cranson being dire. The general chit chat might have been he hadnt got the wealth of knowledge Nige has got. Possibly Radio Stoke should have had a handover period of say 2 or 3 matches with Nige helping him settle in.

Very poor for me, nobody needs reminding of the score every 5 minutes, banging on about inane ramblings and very little actual commentary. Needs to pronounce Boothen End correctly and how many games did Griff play at Rt back compared to his position of Lft back as he kept on calling him. I don’t recollect Griff ever playing right back especially in his breakthrough season. I know it’s early days but please, please commentate on the game. I have no interest in your goalkeeping mate. And what on earth happened to the stockings?

Don’t like to jump on them too early but so far the coverage has been very lacklustre.

As the saying goes ‘my memory ain’t what it used to be’ He was always LB though as a kid under Macari Yeah he replaced Nigel Worthington at left back as a teenager until he was sold to Newcastle then came back and dislodged Carl Hoefkins at right back with Carl Dickinson playing left back and latterly Danny Higginbotham

Turned him off.
Been prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt but: no idea what's happening on the pitch, inane drivel, thinks sucking up to Stoke legends makes him a Stokie and the final straw the biggest cheer all commentary was for their second.
Piss off back to Sarf Lanahn

It could be some nerves still. Willing to give him time but it does need to improve. He commentates like he’s on a tv match. Needs to remember he’s on the radio. Should be telling the story of the game.

Pretty average at best so far. At least on two occasions he said we beat Rotherham in the cup on Tuesday. It’s not hard to get the basics right. As for the interviews with the manager I hope Radio Stoke find someone (anyone) else.
