I was disappointed with him on the whole last night, but I actually really like him. He looks so dangerous in those positions, if he could just be a bit more consistent with his finishing, he’d score a load in this league. He’ll still score 15 as it is though, which is a contribution not to be sniffed at in recent times.

Seems a likeable person, which will go a long way
Liked the way he cut through the melee with the ball and headed for the spot after the decision, but let Vrancic take it (agh)

He's definitely no Peter Thorne. He's a different type of player to Thorney, who was an all-round excellent centre forward. Surridge is a goal poacher and he'll get 20 goals this season if he gets enough games under his belt. He has that knack of being in the right place at the right time and had it not been for a Tomaszewski type performance from their 'keeper last night he'd have scored 4 goals. The missed header from Clucas was a far worse miss than any Surridge missed.
OS.

OS. the replay of Clucas' header showed he tried to glance the ball rather than head it full on - in other words he chickened out.

I dunno, there were two shocking misses from surridge and when being a goal poacher is all you have in your game, it's not a good look missing easy chances like that. It should have been an easy night but it turned out to be pretty stressful. Not sure about him and I think very soon it will be Sima and Campbell up front, which should destroy every defence in this league easily 😉

Did he have a shot? I remember him latching onto a ball and it ultimately coming to nothing just before the Smith red card. That’s about it.

We’ll have to wait and see whether they look like a pairing when Ty gets back and Sima is settled in. Neither are likely to start at the weekend, that’s how far away that partnership is from even being considered.

Oh mate don't bring stats in to it! I did it to debunk his "saying Tyrese is injured is an excuse for our bad form" theory. Stats for goals/assists and points per game with and without Campbell were clear as day. Literally obvious for anyone else to see it. Nope, diverted/ignored them 😂 Surridge's poor control and passing cost us threatening possessions last night and wouldn't count towards xG. But his constant change of pace and general movement in the box was great. I'm convinced he opened up chances that way. Far better than average in getting to the right place but with glaring weaknesses, perfect pub argument fodder this lad. Responded to the wrong post?

If he’d had a shot but looked weak as piss and like a dog chasing a ballon I take it you’d have been happier?

If you play brown and Surridge together there is no one who can hold up the ball, pass, take a man on, in Campbell and sima you would have at least one who can do that whilst the other can run in behind and score goals, possibly both could do either from the glimpse we got of sima last night. He looked like he could control a football, unlike brown or surridge

He’ll score a few goals but his all round game leaves a lot to be desired. Good forwards are quick and strong a tier below quick or strong. SS doesn’t look either, he’s reasonably accurate. I think he’ll need more than that.

Surridge doesn’t do much apart from score goals. If he isn’t scoring gilt edged chances then he isn’t going to be starting many games. Goals are irrelevant. You should know that by now.

Goal percentages
41,1% Peter Thorne at Stoke C FC
24,8 % Sam Surridge, his career so far
But with Vrançic, Powell and Sima Surridge's numbers might increase. The right players around a forward can do wonders!
Just ask Zlatan.

I think it'll be same again but with Sima thrown in earlier in the proceedings

He was pretty poor today, but him and Sima were ineffective as a result of poor service in the main.

Once Campbell is back it’s hard to see him getting much game time. He offers absolutely nothing outside of the box and his finishing the last couple of games has probably cost us two maybe three points.

Post by stokecitydom on Sept 18, 2021 17:14:17 GMT
He has to score with that chance he had today. It was a terrible effort.
He’s got a great habit of being in the right place, but if he’s not scoring, then he offers very little to the team, as his general play has been poor.

He’s missed two absolute sitters from 5 yards out in the last two games. He is definitely an improvement on what we had but not a chance he’ll get us twenty goals. He gets in good positions and sniffs a chance out but means nothing without converting them.

5 million in Jacob Brown and Surridge, neither of them can play football.
I started off positive about him because he scored a couple but just can't believe how shit he is at just playing football.
And when he's missing easy chances he looks like a total imposter

Surridge needs a spell in the reserves.
He is miles off good enough.
Another John Tudor.

His all round game doesn’t look great- so he needs to make up for that with his finishing… which is isn’t doing.
Better than what we had but jury very much still out.
He and Sima were both dross today.
