And would Campbell do it in similar circumstances not a chance. I’ll give you an example of the bullshit spouted about him. Someone smarter than me will be able to find the thread where I posted it from last season. I specifically watched Campbell in a home game last season after being sick and tired of the usual criticisms. In the 1st half of the particular game I counted 22 runs that he’d made down the sides, across the line or in behind. He received 1 over hit pass that ran through to the keeper. A few minutes later an aimless ball got pumped in towards the right corner flag and he was on shoulder of left sided defender. Ball didn’t run out of play yet Campbell got jeered for not chasing and being lazy 🤷♂️ The lad can’t win no matter what he does. Many years ago, the same was true of Bjarni Gudjohnsson Numerous cases yesterday in the away stand where he was abused for absolutely no reason. There was one where the ball bounced between Campbell and a midfield player, it wasn’t particularly close to Campbell, but he didn’t win it, which resulted in a couple of people calling him a lazy so & so. Another where he didn’t win a header despite having his shirt nearly ripped off from the centre half. It’s pretty embarrassing to have to listen to. Yes he has his faults, but some of the supporters are a joke. He seems a popular member of the squad, but it is time for him to move on & hopefully he has a decent career.

Can anyone ever say that he'd run and challenge like Ennis did yesterday to block that clearance not a chance he's powderpuff and just doesn't care enough. He only ran to make that challenge because he was frustrated with himself for missing an absolute sitter to wrap up the game. Don’t think that’s true at all. He messed up that chance yes but that challenge he made is part of his game. He’s the player who would have been the ideal brown replacement.

i can see him popping off up to Rangers Been in the Scottish media for weeks that he's heading there Fair play. Great move for him. They’re a massive club and from social media he’s still big mates with Butland, Matondo and Sterling

His time at Stoke is done it’s turned sour now. He’s frustrating to watch but I don’t agree with the abuse he gets. Ideally he would have gone in the transfer window but for whatever circumstances the club not wanting it with the relegation battle or him wanting a bigger chunk being a free agent at the end of the season. I wouldn’t be surprised to see a finger on the lips celebration if he was to score for us again.

i can see him popping off up to Rangers Been in the Scottish media for weeks that he's heading there I think he might do alright up there. They're a genuinely big club with huge support so the surroundings will match where his ego believes he should be. He'll get to play in Europe, maybe even the Champions League if Rangers win the title. Again fitting his ego. And the week to week opposition in the Scottish League are generally of a lower standard than he's used to in The Championship so I think he'll start to get some goals and some confidence if he stays fit. I think a number of things have worked against him at Stoke. Some his own fault, some a bit of bad timing and circumstances. That bad injury he got right as he was getting into top form really set him back and I have a feeling it's taken a little something away from him permanently too. The atmosphere has been poor here generally around the club, both in the dressing room and in the stands and we've rarely had a decent functioning attacking unit which really hasn't helped him. Despite having the demeanor of an arrogant man I think his playing confidence has suffered at times and it didn't help that the one time he got himself into a good run of form he got a bad injury and lost all of his momentum. However all that said, he really doesn't work hard enough and hasn't really put the graft in needed to get through the setbacks and succeed at a personal level even if the club around him is failing. And you have to say, over the last couple of years his performances, goal output and assist count have been very poor and more often than not he's deserved to be out of the side. His next move is crucial. If he doesn't succeed and become a regular player there then he'll never make it and will drift into the lower leagues and out of the game by his early 30s.

He’d do well in a team playing 532, especially if that team’s other striker did the heavy lifting out of possession and the 10 in midfield could play decent balls through. Every player at this level has huge faults. The trick is to build a team that balances those faults out.

No I think he’s shown where he’s at. Even the Campbell Club have stopped defending him now. I’ve not stopped defending him. He will rightly leave for pastures new in the summer and I’m disappointed he hasn’t fulfilled his obvious potential here. Was a real threat again yesterday and as he was v Leeds. The criticism, some of it justified, is never anything than way way over the top. He gets blamed for his own shortcomings and those of everyone else. I agree. I think some of the criticism/abuse is way OTT, and cheering when a player is substituted is not in the new SJW spirit of unity. I'm no football coach but I don't think central striker is the right position for him, partly because he's not the best in the air or with his back to goal- he's much better wider, which makes the best use of his pace. Yesterday he twice broke down the left and put an excellent ball across but we couldn't get anyone on the end of it. He also put on the afterburners to create a good chance for himself but unfortunately the final shot was a bit weak, but I'm not sure that any of our other strikers would have got into that position. I sometimes think that part of the problem is that his body posture and running style make it look like he's putting in less effort than he actually is. Nick Powell was like that as well. I was pleased to see him come out to join in the celebrations after the final whistle, where it was noticeable that he was getting hugs from his teammates. Personally, I hope he stays in the summer, but if he doesn't, I wish him well at Rangers or wherever it turns out to be.

Both Stoke and Campbell need to part ways. I’m most pissed off that he’s leaving for nothing. Not sure whether it’s our fault or his but it’s poor. He didn’t play for a whole season effectively but these things get forgotten. We’ve seen the best of him even if he tears it up elsewhere.

I could criticise any player you want and find something to praise them for if correct to do so. Ty showed his pace more than once yesterday over both short and long distances. He did at Leeds in midweek, he did v Leicester where he had our only 2 chances and he’s shown it countless times over the years. He might not use it enough for your liking but he is undoubtedly quick and the quickest at the club by a distance. The fact you can’t even acknowledge suggests it’s because you simply refuse to see what’s right in front of your eyes. As for trawling your posting history…no thanks. I’ll take your word for it.

The problem is, 85% of the fan base have already made their mind up about Campbell so nothing he does will ever be good enough.
He did okay yesterday but he isn't a central striker and especially not a lone one.
Cheering a substitute off (in a derogatory way) is unacceptable, he's really going to want to give his all next game now isn't he?
He's leaving at the end of the season, that won't change. Him playing for a move is the best thing that can happen now and he plays his bollocks off for the rest of the season, but cheering his substitution isn't going to encourage that.

The abuse he gets is really depressing disappointing but not surprising from some our lot. Yesterday people made their mind up before he kicked a ball. Very sad. He was absolutely fine yesterday and played well. All forwards miss chances, though the chance he had was not a sitter by any imagination. Imagine if he missed the one that fell to Ennis. He’s still one of our better players and I’m glad the manager recognises this. And credit to him for showing willing despite all the dogs abuse he gets.
