Not a great away day experience for me today, my daughter was hit by a flare after they scored and was very lucky that it exploded against the concrete and not her legs as she was wearing shorts. Very very upset and has a massive bruise on her hip 🤬😳 Thanks to the Stokies who came over to see if she was ok Disgraceful that is mate, hope she’s ok

Really good first half, good attacking intent but frustratingly poor end product. Second half a complete car crash, bizarre subs from the manager and ending up with Ben Wilmot at right wing back was borderline criminal. Second half not good enough at all. We haven't put 2 good halves together all season

Money no doubt, and a transfer budget. I think everyone is making their judgement of our new manager far too early. I appreciate what we have seen,so far, is not encouraging but surely he has to try out things while getting the players fitter. Hopefully he's going to get all his injured players back soon. The break for the world cup will be like a preseason so he should be able to improve things. Then in January he can begin to fill the holes in our squad.

That is a very good question. I mentioned the different evaluations of our players last year. Are they a top 6 squad and Clucas one of our best players as bayern has said . Or are they all shit players or just unfit. Which is it? Unfit shite. I would love to hear some other opinions. EspeciallyToxic Avenger's who seems to be a sensible kind of bloke.What does Questionable. March4, bayern, Leesandfordstoupee etc. think of our present squads' individual ability. Not their fitness or performances. Not the balance of the squad. And by the way where is hyaduck?

At least Alex Neil know how most of his squad perform - I an only think of that as the excuse for some of his initial selections today. Now he has no excuse for picking some of those players again. I was most disappointed in the fight we showed (or didn't). Having been told in the press conference that the players had been told that they had to fight to earn the chance to play, I saw no evidence that the message had got through. We still strolled around, stroking the ball five yards expecting to just walk the ball into the area never mind the goal. I saw no urgency in fact I thought it was worse than under MON. I wonder how many of those players are disappointed at the managerial change? There was no passion from Brown. I know he was wide right but he has played there for MON far more effectively. No effort from Campbell whatsoever. Having read that he and Delap looked to be on the same wave length there seemed no connection at all between the two of them (perhaps both disappointed that MON has gone).. Baker never got into a shooting position, Fosu looked nowhere near the passionate player he told us he was. They are professional footballers. I don't give a hoot what they think of the managerial change. Agree but we already know this squad bears very little resemblance to what you would expect from a professional player. In fact I think I would have seen more professionalism from the local team down on the park this morning than I saw in the Stoke team this afternoon. I'm not offering their disappointment as an excuse but we all know that professional footballers can make life very difficult for a manager if enough of them want to.

Crappy away day. Any hopes crushed almost immediately by the clownshow clusterfuck for 1-0.
No real atmosphere even when we clawed our way back in. Never really looked like equalising again.
Pfft. Still I got an M&S veggie samosa on way home.

They deserved to win it to be fair. We rarely threatened despite having a lot of the ball. I've seen more threat from Normacot Brownies than we had in that second half. The good news is I went to Longton Park earlier and two teenagers having a kick about were better strikers than we had and as far as I know both are available. One of them was a girl. But she hit the target far better than Clucas did. Thank God we're not in the prem with that carthorse squad. Just how naive was Baker giving away fouls on special offer at a time where we needed to stand up and win the ball. Seriously with luck we might avoid relegation .

Looks like I should be glad I missed this one. I got home at 1:15 AM and got up at 5:45 to watch that crap? We were 1-0 down by the time I worked out the club stream was blocked because the match was shown on ESPN+. I should gone back to bed then. Slow, pedantic build up, terrible crosses, no movement off the ball. We have spell of tough games coming up. Clucas was better but still poor which encapsulates the entire fiasco of club we have become. AM has got his work cut out with the shower of garbage left by his predecessor.
