Worried

[kevkj]

Am i the only one worried that our midfield has no zip,pace or finesse under presure.
Yes they can spray a ball left or right and keep the ball as should any professional player.
On top of that we are weak and lack physicality.
Most games are won by a strong midfield or a clinical finisher in the championship.

[wakefieldstokie]

Yes we’re all satisfied. 😉😀

[thehartshillbadger]

There is clearly a fitness problem still, the main thing that concerns me is our awful injury record. There must be something seriously wrong in the way we train or the programs players are given

[moon]

I’m more worried about the options up front and cover in defence.

Bring in one more striker, wide forward, and a CB, and I think we are pretty well set for the season.

[kevkj]

Do you really think a Stansfield or Cannon will.xhange much i dont personally.
Both weak like the rest of our lot.

[retrostoke]

We have just taken two high quality footballers on loan. Not everything comes together in August. It’s a long season

It seems pre season has broken most of them if that’s the case

We got well and truly physically owned by Watford at the weekend but I wouldn't say that was a regular feature at all. Our midfield is generally physically competitive with most other championship midfields and has the imposing figure of Lawal to come into it. I'd imagine we're able to put out a more powerful midfield than most of our peers. What exactly is it you want to watch a team of all in wrestlers??

We’re the footballing version of a dodgy car lot. Maybe we need an Arthur Daley type to galvanise the club

Don’t be daft, don’t you realise that you need to enter full on knicker wetting mode by the end of July at the latest?

[willieeetmiout]

Worried? Worried that our squad this is worse than the one that nearly got relegated last year. Nah

[milton58]

Got nowt to worry about... another unnecessary thread

[GeneralFaye]

Not in the slightest

[frasier37]

I feel nothing

[greyface]

😂
Worried.
We lost a game.
We have lost more than I can count in the last 7 years.
We will lose more through the season.
So will everyone else.
So what?

[Timmy]

Nothing worries me with stoke anymore, just pure disappointment 😂

[GrahamHyde]

We've been shite for 7 years now.

You become numb to it.

We're genuine relegation contenders.

[premieraj]

Worried I’ve been worried since the late 60s no matter what league we’ve been in it’s a Stoke thing? Just go with it won’t change or just go and play golf 😃.

[thehartshillbadger]

In a league table of worrying things I’d put football somewhere between forgetting to brush my teeth and farting on my lady’s thigh in bed at 3am whilst she’s fast asleep

Me too. I was fucking wank. I did score a net zero on a par 3 though. Literally the only thing I did. And I've got to play my daughter's boyfriend next Friday and not look a complete tit.

You want worries? That's worrying.
