Matchday Thread Stoke City v PNE - 02/01/23 - KO:15:00 - Championship

[Ron Burgundy]

Our midfield looked like they had it in them and then have just gone to pieces.

Whiteman has been poor for a while for me but Woodburn’s pussy footing about just puts us on the back foot from the start.

 

[PNEMark]

I absolutely adore this ‘attacking brand that gets people off their seat’ 😍

So good!

‘Attack with 6 defend with 4’ 😍

 

[Randall Flagg]

Browne is a catastrophe at RWB. Fucking hell.

 

[JAYMAC]

Do they get paid for this ?

 

[Finney Fan]

How have we collected a squad of players who are incapable of basic stuff like keeping the ball in play, clearing crosses or passing to a team mate?

 

[Baldygit]

Freddie Woodman Suprtstar!

Just earned himself a contract extention

 

[Durutti]

After the WBA nightmare I would call that a decent half.

Diaby needs to be phased into this side. He's like Parkin, he's such a big old bag of meat that he needs to be playing to get his fitness up.

 

[ches]

Dire game. First goal wins this.

 

[lagerlout]

Why are we getting free kicks that are perfect for Johnson's left foot only for Browne to take them??

Browne is the Captain - so he can pull rank on anyone … if HE wants to take a free kick - HE takes it !
It doesn’t matter what is ‘ best for the team ‘ … he is doing RL a favour by turning out at RWB .. so taking free kicks is his reward.
Selfish t**t !

 

[Naughton's moustache]

Definition of stupidity .. try to take Diaby on for pace ..

What was Woodman doing there palming away a ball that was going wide

For me Diaby has easily looked the safest of the back 3

 

[Muzza]

Hughes should've crunched that lad but pulls out and we almost concede. Bambo is also entertainment itself, not for the right reasons but he's the only reason I'm enjoying the game today.

Maybe he had his yellow card in his mind.

 

[Tommmm12345]

Freddie Woodman Suprtstar!

That's why he won best player for Swansea few seasons ago I think 4 or 5 good saves v WBA few today as well.

 

[MBcha]

Shit.

Better than West Brom.

...But still shit.

 

[Mickypne]

OK start and when Riis went off its west brom all.over imo , only difference is Stoke ain't a good side. 2 poor sides and if 1 is to score , it's Stoke, we're no threat at all going forward

 

[Durutti]

Browne is a catastrophe at RWB. Fucking hell.

He really costs us in midfield though. There is never argument to play Browne in the middle ahead of McCann.

 

[StickyBrick]

He might be … but he is not the strong runner that Riis is … and he has no chance of withstanding a physical challenge - which Emil can do.

I don't disagree, but the previous comment was about pressing

 

[Gee-Pee-Jay]

🥱😴 we’re not losing so that a positive 👍🏻

 

[Lee Trundle]

Hughes has been complete shit, looks very rusty.

Bambo and Lindsay are doing well.

Woodburn is an attack killer. Weak, poor touch, slow, doesn’t make smart runs. I’d take him off at half time

 

[Wisemen say]

Going forward we are pretty hopeless, we have no creativity at all, defending for the last 15 minutes was comical at best,good job Stoke also don't seem to have a forward who can finish.
That said it is better than the West Brom display, so I presume RL will claim that as progress..👍🤔

 

[raefil]

These stats are horrendous
