Who gave it away there?

Knight

I’m going to be a Negative Nelly here. This isn’t very good and I can see things getting a lot worse.

Hope I’m wrong.

absolutely crap. I feel like the Middlesbrough win has made us look better than we are because this is shambolic.

Better? We were crap defensively against Boro. They should have been out of sight

Bollocks is it understandable. 

Agree to disagree 

[Jackson Lamb]

Why does Mehmeti stutter his run up. That should be 2-1 there.

Benson & Hedges.

PATHETIC WEAK AS PISS PERFORMANCE BOYS AGAINST MEN , Leeds will be laughing their bollox off 

[roddy-d]

What aloud of rubbish 

[Winterstoke toad]

God help us Saturday

Another 4-0 incoming.

Thing is we equally look like scoring, Stoke not looking that convincing at the back, this could equally be 4-4  as well as 4-0

[One Team]

What a start! Truly awful that second goal. 

Saturday looks like a blip and one off then!

Stoke second: https://streamin.one/v/be24f23f

This is essentially torture porn. 

[temp]

Reality is back, shit defence, no threat, weak in midfield apart from that top two could be on the cards the boss says so.

[underhanded]

Awful defending but does Max actually manage to save that but it canons in off whoever is sliding to try block the shot? Sort of looked like that which is pretty unfortunate

What’s on the other channels ?

Training cones, because they get dribbled around less 

[MelksRed]

Why didn't Sykes go for it?

[winsaw]

We look totally light weight at the back , two back and getting beat by one one that easy is not good,

Disappointed with Max position as well

That is abysmal. McNally looks a terrible buy 

That was Knight's fault. His passing really isn't great at the best of times but that was shocking.

[sh1t_ref_again]

Weak slow passing has cost us for both goals and poor finishing stopped us getting back 

[MarcusX]

3 minutes ago, And Its Smith said:

2-0.  Very flat from City.  Understandable after the last week. They will be drained after that and Saturday for sure.  

I’m sure everyone will understand, remember what happened and things that were said just a week ago and be reasoned with their thoughts

Decent response, bit of pressure with some decent crosses into the box.

No there not mate...hopeless punts and hoping someone gets on the end. 

Awful tactics we're playing. 

Go wide...and punt it up in the air into the box. 

Terrible.

It's like watching league 2 tactics.

So easy to defend against.

high spot was reached thanks to poor boro finishing

[Mike Hunt-Hertz]

This team is the mirror image of the management and ownership...soft as shite.

[HOZDA]

Play anything like this Vs Leeds and it will be a torrid day. 

As weak and open as we look, we also look like we can get back into the game Can't keeping riding our luck with the opposition missing chances!

That’s the first time I’ve heard a commentator say “playing silly beggars”  

But wholly accurate for what we're trying to do

I don't blame you, I'm thinking of bed early.

Not his fault that, sold a hospital pass

Very slow to get back in the box though, the player involved in the challenge with him was the goal scorer and a second Stoke player made it into the box while McNally was jogging back 

[ExiledAjax]

We are getting chances.

[ChippenhamRed]

Win one, lose one, draw one. From now until eternity. It’s so dull.

[Kodjias Wrist]

Is it stoke playing well and figuring us out or are we just shite? Can we give any credit to stoke? 

[MelksRed]

And back we go.....from the 6yard box to half way in 6 passes.

We’ve created three clear chances. The defending is terrible but don’t make stuff up.

[Buster]

Shit relegation coming 

[sh1t_ref_again]

Can still see us getting back into this game

Clinical with their chances, so yes have to give them credit even with our help

[054123]

What a waste of 12 months.

As somebody once said most beautifully on here ‘Steve Lansdown continually ***** his pants but gets a round of applause because he always pays for a new pair’.

[winsaw]

Why do we keep putting the ball into the box in the air when we have a striker who wants it at his feet, making it so easy for there keeper,

Really poor tactics 

[Jackson Lamb]

That was handball I thought

Amazing isn’t it.  Football being put into context lasted one game!

Looked like Stoke could have had a pen there.

This is torrid mate. Leeds are a different class. We ain’t ever going anywhere not even the yo you club. Championship is our level that’s it. 

[Limey]

No Sinclair , fally, yu or George.? Why did we sign these players? Saving them so we can get thumped by Leeds on Saturday?

[Henry]

Who’s on co comms?

[harvey54]

Wish we hadn't won at Boro now and we'd be in a relegation fight where this owner and his son deserve to be. Shambles of a club 

[2015]

Honestly I don't actually think we are playing that badly..

[Jackson Lamb]

I think we got away with that big time

But according to Ian Gay the fact they only had 2 shots on target shows they didn't trouble us at all despite their high number of shots.

[Super]

We have looked OK going forward

[CityCiderEd]

Our passing is absolutely shocking. Nearly all our problems come from misplaced passes.

[spudski]

No we haven't. We punted the ball into the box, with no real accuracy. 

Hence why the end products were so lame. 

Might as well keep punting it in the box if you think they are clear chances mate.

[fly in the air]

can't wait to get dickie and Atkinson back then get rid of zac

[cidercity1987]

Why isn't that a corner? The ref did not blew his whistle before the ball went out

Disaster at the back. That’s the game right there so far.
