And the only other signing so far has got Rasmus' fingerprints all over it and Spors probably had little to do with it.

Stoke did a number on us. They were well organised and attacked at pace. We were disjointed and pedestrian.

I think the point is that we haven't been able to replace the dead wood, hence they are still first choice (and being made captain).

Did you miss that 5-0 defeat at Sunderland this time 2 years ago then?

Credit to Robins. He knows how to set a team up and get them playing to win games in this league. Schooled WS today. Where's the urgency and the physicality we were promised? Not one of our strikers comes out of the first 3 games with any credit so far. Very concerning if we're pinning our hopes on DD because he was dreadful again today. Flynn had an absolute shocker. Gave the ball away so needlessly for their first goal, missed an absolute sitter, and then in injury time when we're trying to get the ball in the box he's playing lazy backward passes on the halfway line with no Stoke players near him. Could Baz have done better with the second goal? Difficult to see from the angle I saw but it was a very tight angle and nowhere near the corner of the goal. Robinson looks like the only attacking player to pose any real threat at the moment. Everyone else is just fucking garbage. We've got a lot of work to do this week to bring in the players WS wants and needs so he can play his preferred formation.

All just far too pedestrian. Looks like too many players are still playing Russball.

Oh my fucking god.

It was Downes, not Downs.

Downes HAS to score that. What the fuck!

Absolutely this. Sticking with a back 3 at home against ten men is unforgivable.

Diving Mubama.

So fucking sloppy from Downes to give that away in midfield.

Fuck. Downes put us bang in trouble there.

I hope you're not suggesting that should have been a penalty.

In one sense it does. But 2 of our shots off target hit the post and were both closer to scoring than anything Stoke have managed so far, despite their overall dominance.

Fucking hell this ref! That's so obviously a corner FFS

I already did 😉

Get Arma off at HT. Once again he's been completely ineffective and the ball keeps coming straight back at us.

Off the post twice!

5-0 now!

Sheff Utd losing at home to Millwall.

Cov 4-0 QPR!

How the fuck is that not a deliberate foul on JRob!?

Still got no control of the game in midfield. Trying to play through Stoke but they're not leaving the space we need for that. They're finding it much easier to get into attacking positions than we are.

WBA 1-0 Pompey
