Yep and resorting to punting long balls up to a guy that’s not renowned for his heading ability was absolutely crazy Campbell has looked good for stoke in that period of time when he played off Steven Fletcher. No coincidence. Play him off a target man who can lead the line and he’s useful. Stick him upfront by himself and he’s useless. It was absolute madness I was surprised he came out in the same position for the second half

Never seen a player consistently put in less effort than him.

Hes like a school boy striker, just likes it to his feet, doesnt close players or get stuck in, no pace The thing that winds me up the most is he does have pace, LOTS and LOTS of pace, he has shown this a few times and people forget how quick he is. BUT you can tell within the first 10 minutes of a game whether he can be arsed or not.

Any player that spits at another player is just a dickhead plain and simple. Hopefully he’s gone in the summer

Let’s put it another way the opposition had a 34year old striker that never gave up, can anyone remember where he allowed the keeper time on the ball all game,Barnes was a menace all game, unlike Campbell, that’s the difference , Campbell won’t be missed and shouldn’t even play another game. Yes... the thought went through my mind as well. Barnes was all over the place. Pressing, cajoling, being a nuisance and scoring a goal. Chalk and cheese.

Hes absolute shit. Lazy, half arsed and as I have said for months. This club will be in a much better place when he eventually fucks off.

He’s never been a lone striker has he is ridiculous playing him there? He’s not good enough but crazy management to play him there? At his best is wide right in a 433 or as someone has said playing off another big striker?

Campbell's got more talent in his little toe in comparison to Ennis. The biggest cheer(bar the goals) at Preston last week was a sliding tackle from Ennis,minutes after he'd missed a golden chance. Missed 2 more sitters today,will he get jeered off,will he fuck,running around doing nothing in particular makes you a favourite down Stoke a la Andy Cooke. Embarassing. A fuckin blind man can see Campbell needs a partner up front alongside him.

I don't agree with calling out Mmaee like that, he's been an idiot but he's our idiot.

How folk can continue to defend the fraud is beyond me He was even running off before his number went up today🙄summed him perfectly and the cheering that followed said it all Campbell is and has been garbage for us recently. I blame Schumacher for picking him. Campbell is playing like someone who’s contract is up in the summer and is lined up for a move to rangers who is scared to get injured otherwise no club would give him a contract if he got a bad injury (maybe stoke) I don’t agree with cheering your own player of though

Not sure Campbell is getting a fair assessment at the moment. Playing stranded up top doesn't suit him, nor does moving the ball slowly denying him space.
An okay championship player, better than many other forwards we've had since being in the championship and he's going to be gone this summer, probably to a better team than us right now.
We need him onside for 8 more games.

He showed no emotion when Norwich scored, nor when we were going forward, he just didn't seem to fit. I thought when the time was right i'd jokingly ask if he was a scout but he left his seat ten minutes before half time and didn't return. Was he scout? Was he impressed by any player?

He’s a wide player. If you’re going to play him up front then it’s got to be alongside a target man type who will win the ball in the air and allow him to run in behind. He’s been strung up by the manager. To be fair when he first came Schumacher said he had spoken to Campbell who'd said he saw himself as a central striker not a wide man and that is where he wanted to play. The best strikers make their own chances and I can't think of any other central striker who can't win a single header and who is so easily knocked off the ball.

I didn’t jeer Campbell today. It’s clearly not productive and will do no one any good. However his performance was nothing short of pathetic. The lad is an excellent finisher but he can’t hold the ball up, can’t pass, can’t take a man on and (as Everyone is well aware by now) will not even attempt to challenge in the air. He has one skill that every centre forward needs in their toolbox and is lacking everything else.

I would never jeer a player off the pitch, but for his, ours and the clubs sake summer can’t come quick enough. He needs a fresh start, and I need to stop thinking he will come good at some point because it ain’t happening in a Stoke shirt……

What continues to baffle me about Campbell is that whenever he makes an explosive run he’s blowing out of his arse for 5 minutes afterwards. I don’t think he’s ever been able to play full throttle for 90 minutes in all the time he’s been here and I’m not sure why?

Of the three strikers we used today, Campbell was head and shoulders the best.
Ennis looks like he’s been on an intensive course at the Keith Scott school of forward play.

Maybe he owns a footballers knackers yard,he heard about most of our players,so he was eyeing up who he could turn into glue.

For a player who should be putting in effort to attract the attention of other clubs which he wants to go to, hes not doing a great deal. In all fairness he isnt the best in a Scheuey squad, he was far better for a play style like MON where everyone does the running for him and he can cut in and finish.

Brings fuck all to the table.
In fact, worse than fuck all as he is wasting a squad place and wages, that could be spent on someone else who wants to play for the club!
I hope that he never plays for us again. Head has gone and only cares about a move.
