I've thought about giving Leris a try up top, let's face it he's shit everywhere else. I am really unsure about Leris. He has scored a couple of decent goals and athletically (speed, power, work rate, etc.) he is great. However, technically and on the ball he is really erratic. I am not sure that he is a winger. For me he looks more a wing back than anyone to play along the front line.

Weve had some shit in our time but claiming Powell is the "best" we've had since relegation is laughable. He was exactly the onset of this absolute shite mentality, rock up, walk around the pitch, play when you want or if you can be arsed.

Maybe some think it's harsh but it's the utter bollocks that football is turning into, we need good committed players and play football that Stoke fans enjoy watching, which is high tempo 100% effort with a bit of flair, also we bed to give our young players a decent chance. Ahh. I see a problem with “The Good, Committed players” bit and the High Tempo, Flair, Effort and Young Players but also. We have literally not see any of that Ona consistent basis for many years. We just don’t do any of those things well. Depends how you look at it, I'd say brown was a perfect stoke player yet he divided the fan base and look at where he's gone now compared to us. I'd also say leris was a stoke ish kind of player but think he's absolute terrible myself.

A highly damaging damaging defeat which effectively ends the season. We'd need to win a few games on the bounce again now, just to catch Blackburn. He talked and talked about being a top half team and then sends that out. Where was the aggression and desire? What the fuck have they been doing the last two weeks? That performance today was absolute embarrassing.

When during his career was Johnson ever dynamic? The blokes a bang average mid table plodder. We're complaining we don't score or create nothing then start him at attacking mid and start gayle who couldn't score in a month of Sundays. The writing was on the wall today after the first two minutes, just long ball over the top and turn out defence around cause they can't run for shit. We were told Alex was this master tactician who changes things mid game etc and I've barely even seen him change mid season let alone mid game. That Blackburn side today have lost a lot of big players and played us off the park today, absolute shocking. Being pissed on at home by the likes of Preston and Blackburn, absolute disgraceful.

Had a look on the Leeds forum and to say they are arrogant and deluded is an understatement. Really hope they don't go up this season. I'd say they're the best team in league. What it does say though is that if we were more consistent snd ruthless we're also up there with the best.

It's been a farce for years look at all the shit Watford have got away with down the years with udinese. I've said myself it's something stoke should do, Bonham to a random club for 20 million I hear you say? 🤔😉

Stay off the crack, if that's a penalty then the games dead. The bloke literally ran into his hand Agreed, no penalty. However, if the VAR panel and the referee, after watching it, deemed that a deliberate foul was committed by Lewis striking an opponent in the face, then surely Lewis should have been shown a red card for violent conduct. Two wrong decisions in my opinion. I just think they evened it out after dropping a bollock not giving the maguire pen but they shouldn't be doing that with var.

Jesus christ that's never a pen and they didn't give the stone wall pen. Long live var If Lewis had made that challenge 20 yards out it would have been a free kick, therefore it's a penalty. Stay off the crack, if that's a penalty then the games dead. The bloke literally ran into his hand

The qualifiers especially euros should all be midweek as its not far travel and the players play abroad in the CL etc anyway.

Fair play to them that attend but it's just not for me. Far too slow and the quality just isn't the same. My opinions of course.

Back in the day there was no such thing as the pointless international break. Player were expected to be released by their clubs & international matches were usually squeezed into mid-week. It was no different then as now with players being withdrawn due to mysterious "injury" on run up to the game. Exactly how it should be, especially in the euros when players don't have to travel that far.

Alot of making it in football is about luck and who you know. I could go around all the local non league teams and pick out 1-2 players who would walk into a lower league side, but they just haven't had the chance for whatever reason.

Looking at his stats his scoring average before we signed him was a goal every 2.3 games. For us it’s been a goal every 14 games. We seem to be a graveyard for many decent strikers I'm not saying his movement is great but what are people expecting when we have Daniel fucking Johnson in the attacking midfielder role? The bloke can barely create anything let alone even score. For a club with ambition of play offs at least he should be a squad player, he doesn't create enough.

Respect to Pochettino, he’s got Chelsea playing for each other again. I've said for a couple of seasons now if there's a team to challenge man City its them. The squad they have is quality, just short of a top quality striker as me personally I don't rate Jackson.

Johnson just runs. Ince for us for a time was a good player. Ince has also had the better career. Ince is a coward, never wants the ball and hides on the pitch, Johnson always wants the ball and never hides, he's also had a decent international career. There is absolutely no comparison between the two. There's a reason why Johnsons spent majority of his career plodding about at bang average mid table fodder Preston, it sums the bloke up. He's absolute shit and we should be wanting better if we have any ambition to reach the play offs. I'm not a Ince fan either but at least he can say he's played in the prem.

Gavin Ward was the ref. Haven’t we had previous with him? Not sure. He was just an average GK for me but others may have a different opinion. Only thing I remember him doing was decking a Bristol rovers fan then we ended up on the pitch, I was only young at the time and remember it

Talking of pitches and changing the subject slightly; It is always said the playing today is like playing on a snooker table. However when the cameras zoom in you can see that the grass is quite long and could be described by golfers as "semi rough". In my days of local football I don't recall the pitches like this. Often they were mud baths with no grass at all. The top pitches are part grass part plastic so they have to have some kind of length to them

What's happening at crewe? First match I've watched them in years and its a big game the place is absolute empty. Always remember them.having more fans than that Who are they playing Saw some fans in Nantwich earlier but couldn't work out who they were Derby and they've filled the ground for them. Actually think they outnumber the crewe fans. Its on itvx if anyone wants it on
