is bauer playing at left back then ? He was until Porter went off injured, now left wing back. Forrester, Taylor and Wimmer three centre backs.......

There’s just zero creativity in this side when Verlinden doesn’t play.
It’s the most workmanlike team. Some decent footballers in there too but absolutely no attacking spark.

That's a great save from the keeper in fairness, strong hand.....

Wimmer looks like he would rather be anywhere other than on that pitch. We really are stuck with him, he looks out of his depth in an U23 game.

They've just dominated possession from the off but the teams are a complete mismatch..... They are but we don’t have anyone out there that is anything but workmanlike. The only bit of pace is Coates and he’s been pegged back. There’s actually a lot of players I like in this side including the two strikers but it’s such a badly balanced side. No wingers and no one centrally who can create. Just a shame really because in Coates, Forrester, C.Taylor, Sparrow, Porter, Varian and Norton we have some decent footballers. But they need a bit of something different around them. Just something to work on really for the coaches/recruitment.

Not much to get enthused about there.
Our number 2 seems like a decent player.

Just going through the motions and in some respects I guess most of us would. He's never going to break into the first team and he's not going to get a loan move based on these games, it's just about keeping his fitness ticking over. It's just a depressing scenario for all concerned.....

He just couldn’t give a shit could he? 28 years old, and less than 200 senior games. At what point will this waster keep prioritising his bloated salary over his career as a professional footballer?

No Verlinden (don’t tell Bayern), he wasn’t on the bench Saturday either and with Matondo and Clarke coming in surely gotta have a loan away lined up then? My guess is Powell is injured and he's gonna be on the bench/in the squad tomorrow. You still don't get it, do you? O'Neill will NEVER play Verlinden. He'd rather play Vokes in midfield or something than Thibo.

It's not his problem tbh. He can't force another team to buy him and pay him his wages. In his mind, he probably thinks he's worth the salary and Stoke have not used him properly.

I get it crystal clear and have been saying it for months now but I do think he'll be in the squad tomorrow because Powell is injured and a loan isn't the reason he's not playing today.

You are quite right, it’s not his problem. But he will be a long time retired, and he’s heading for a healthy bank balance but precious few achievements or memories from the game. If he doesn’t care about that then I pity him to be honest.

If O'Neill brings a new player into the 20 instead of Powell it will more likely be Tymon, whose isolation is over.
