That's a great comparison, comical Ali and his all will be fine press conferences, in denial, deluded fools

Fact 1 - Baz has made one decent save so far? I'd say stretching it a bit to say he's been good, we do know he was fucking terrible for two years previously- source - our eyes. Fact 2 - we needed to get a proper goalkeeper in to then displace error prone hologram Baz and make us stronger. The constant managed decline of this football club is painful to watch. Lots have been highlighting this weakness for years now, would have signed Stokes keeper when available at Rotherham

Yeah they're wasting our time. Did we manage to get a little social media boast in again announcing George Long before Fabrizio?

Yeah can't tell me Sports Republic cowboys are taking this seriously

Bazunu often puts himself at a disadvantage with poor positioning giving himself too much to do to make a save

I actually saw Spors in B&Q yesterday trying to decide on a paint colour to choose , he'd sent a few examples to his mate Rasmus and was waiting for a call back

It's a bank Holiday weekend ffs, I'm sure our recruitment team are enjoying a well earned rest

I think we'll lose....but Norwich have lost both their home games so far this season, will be keen to get a positive result in front of their fans.

Amen

Lovely stuff, a classic 1989/90 transfer fee , retro

I'd forgotten Taylor exists, good shout. Might as well use him.

I'm with you, Norwich better get reinforcements in This game does feel utterly pointless doesn't it, I say that as someone going, perhaps the only worth-while benefit is it's another game for Still to try to learn and understand what might work better for him. Give the new lad Mads a game , might need to think about left back with Welington likely to be out for a while

Standard for us as well, not sure why anyone is surprised how easy we are to defend against

We didn't batter Wrexham. Should have been 5-5 , we were all over the place at times and the fact their finishing was bad was a blessing

As a fanbase I think we really have given the Sports Republic clowns an easy ride, they'd have got a lot more abuse at most clubs, however lose to Pompey and I think the gloves will be off and they'll have to develop a thick skin

It's not just one loss, we've been rubbish in every game I've seen Don't blame Still completely though, he's an inexperienced manager who needs to learn the league and get more streetwise

How I'd love another Broja style loan this week, that has to be our best bet for getting genuine quality rather than buying, just can't see it with SR recruitment involved

Why are we always so fucking shit at home to Stoke? Can change managers, players, divisions but we always manage to end up with the same outcome , definitely a bogey team for us

I agree, and if Armstrong is playing give him someone to play alongside, he only worked last time thanks to Adams

Yes , we've had some wise guys on here preaching that our pile of shite squad from last season will still be "good enough for the championship " despite us losing what little quality we had. Damion Downs will be worse than Sekou Mara

Spot on. Chatting to a Stoke fan, they were surprised how POOR we were. No surprise to us as we saw the shite they served up week in week out last season. Will Still has a lot to learn from the likes of Robins

Still plenty of tickets left , like the good old days pay on the day

Club seem to have a tie up with the Harbour hotel and use some of the facilities there assuming that's where you are, definitely a few players live in apartments close by. Club owned a couple they used for newly arrived players so possible Still is staying in the area as well (or sneaking in for breakfast and try to overhear Stoke's tactical plan)
