Hopefully we can pay him up? Like one or two others last year. He was woeful today! It will be a miracle to change this squad to top 6 over the summer! |

How much longer do we have to suffer that waste of space Morgan Fox. I’d assumed he was out of contact and on his way also? I thought he was ok when we first signed him. How wrong was I? |

The only reason Fox has been played on the left of a back three is because he is left footed. That’s a terrible reason. We wouldn’t put Smith on the right of a back three because he is right footed. Fox is passable in a flat back four when he has some pace around and in front of him. His game dropped when Vokes left/Fletcher’s body collapsed as his balls from deep in the half used to be quite effective. They aren’t now. He’s also not a centre back. |

Sadly won’t be signing a left back then I’d assume. |

I though some of the players were reluctant to pass it to him |

It’s his first “big crowd” and his first professional game (in a new position). He will have preseason to work on that, and to add some muscle hopefully, and will likely get a better chance in the early cup games before probably going out on loan. |

He’s a young lad finding his way, but on todays showing he’s going to have to improve massively. Their number 18 absolutely roasted him. |

From the post match interview he basically saying the players decided not to try and he wasn't happy about that, as far as I heard. He should've tried more young Stoke players in order to develop their skillset in such a meaningless game ( season wise ). Whatever went on it was a missed opportunity, that's for sure If we'd done that and lost plenty would have moaned. Gave one his debut today and these games seems meaningless to many until we lose. He gave Bursik a couple of games and plenty were calling for that and nice to see another young lad playing. Well that reply certainly took it's time in coming  |

How many of today’s starters will still be at the club by the end of the summer transfer window?
It’s not only the out of contract ones but will some be pushing for a transfer.

If Fox was on a Glacier Mint, he’d fuckin stumble and fall off 🤣 Remember chatting to a Wednesday fan a while back He still bemoaned us for taking Glenn Whelan off them all those years back, he loved him He rated Fletcher aswell and would rather they still had him I then brought Morgan Fox up to which he immediately apologised…… A very strange signing from MON |

Maybe he's one that we can keep about to sit on the bench running his contract down if we have another injury Crisis if we don't sign another centre half/left back option, behind Souttar, Jagielka, Wilmot, Forrester, Taylor and potentially Okagbue if he is as highly rated as MON suggested when he was training with the first team! |

footballleagueworld.co.uk/defender-set-to-stoke-city-exit-as-potters-reportedly-make-contract-decision/Stoke City right-back Tommy Smith will be allowed to leave the club this summer, journalist Alan Nixon has reported, via Patreon.
According to this latest update from Nixon, Stoke have elected not to extend Smith’s deal with the club, and he will therefore now be released this summer.
It is thought that the Potters are keen to clear their wage bill and freshen up their squad, following their underwhelming 14th place finish in the Championship this season.
For his part, Smith is said to be keen to remain in the Championship, even now that his time with Stoke is coming to an end.

Was dreadful, he’s a young lad so people rightly don’t want to put the boot in (especially as everyone was shite today) but if today was a benchmark he’s a long way to go. I though some of the players were reluctant to pass it to him Agree , obviously when a young player gets put in everyone ( coaches and fans at least ) hope they do well ..( both for the future , but also on a very human level )unfortunately it looked like a big step up on the day for him. last game there’s always a risk that those players who are suppose to be supporting him are already on the beach , or else have contract concerns of their own to worry about , rather than helping someone at the very start of their Stoke career .. , doesn’t help either if the opposition are whilst not at full pace were still at 3/4 pace when your team isn’t even awake and so it was yesterday .certainly.in the first half at least and by the 2nd half when the team had at least organised itself slightly better defensively ( or the manager had done it for them ) the day then became about running down the clock without inducing a full scale fan revolt ..so there was little room to help a young passenger shine or enjoy his day. Hopefully though he’ll of gained something ( including pride and enjoyment ) from the experience , even if it was only that even at 3/4 pace championship football is a mile away from development football ..hopefully whilst he was selected in the hope that he’d have a great game , it was also acknowledged by the manager that he may struggle & wouldn’t get the help he deserved or needed and so was encouraged at half time to just enjoy the moment.. head up lad and here’s to better days |
