Trying to inject some Xmas jollity into proceedings. I’ll start off with Junho’s free kick second half. Centre of the goal, a little to the right maybe. Gooch in acres of space in the right, Junho proceeds to roll the ball directly out for a goal kick, with Gooch still stood in the position he was in before the kick was taken. At that point I don’t no whether the crowd knew whether to boo or laugh…

Vidigals airshot volley. It was actually a very presentable chance

I liked Vidigal's air shot best.
It's like they'd been watching video re-runs of 'Best of the Leek & District League' highlights reel as part of the match build-up.

For pro footballers to be doing what not even 13 year old grass roots kids do is shocking. I was right in front of it and left just slowly shaking my head side to side wondering whether to laugh or scream abuse. I did neither, just open mouthed head shaking slowly side to side. Tarra Alex, time to go son. |

My mate nailed his season ticket to a tree after yesterday he went back last nite and someone had nicked the nail.

Simkin wasting time at the end of the game.
I'm not having a go at the lad because I assume he was being told to do this but wtaf!

The follow up from the penalty for me. Mmaee was Charlie Adam esque in his sluggishness. |

Two players going for the same header There was 2/3 comedic moments at the back once we went to a back 3. Bannan outpacing and outmuscling Laurent was my favourite. An 86 year old midget vs a man mountain. |

How the fuck could little legs Bannan get to the ball before Mmae.. even allowing for the encroachment Is this kinda thing ever spoke about in training? Where was the Stoke follow uo? |

Pretty sure Wesley gets beat in the air by a player about a foot smaller than him for their goal.

The throw in we had early on near their corner flag.
Gooch threw it Mmaee who gave it back to Gooch, Gooch then passed to Pearson who twatted it back to the goalkeeper.

Bannon outpacing Laurent and the two CBs going for the same ball on multiple occasions.
Jeez.

We’ve somehow assembled what must be the slowest team in the league by quite some distance.
Was pace not on Jared’s tick list?

Rose coming on and then nearly putting the ball in his own net

I also thought Rose’ first touch was a corker. A wild swing at the ball and almost slashed it into his own net.
He’s a ball playing centre back you know?

We are never ever first to the second ball. Along with our useless crossing and set pieces this has been an affliction for seasons now

Bringing on a 3rd centre half in the 80th minute when it's 0-0 against the worst team I've seen for years.

An 86 year old midget vs a man mountain. Bannan showed everything that our midfield lacks, even at his age. Guts, determination, pace, reaction time. It’s embarrassing. Laurent is a huge wet lettuce. |

Every single throw in.
Just jog to the ball quickly and throw it to the first person who moves.
It’s a simple thing to speed up a match and get the crowd to believe you are interested in pushing on.

I disagree with that. For all that Barcelona were beautiful on the ball in the club’s prime, they were also a beast at pressing off the ball. That stuff doesn’t just simply happen, it needs working on. It would be the first thing I would train these useless gits on. |
