On the face of it SR are doing exactly what I’ve been predicting they’ll do - reduce overall squad quality by selling AA and brining this guy Larin in. If true it would be to form and the likely outcome is not particularly pleasing. However, there may be more complexity at play - perhaps AA wanted out and/or didn’t see eye to eye with Eckhert…perhaps Larin could be a good alternative to Stewart…perhaps we keep Archer who is given a more wing based role per Fellows? And perhaps this guy brings a new approach that we need. He’s certainly more experienced relative to other younger players which is something we’ve been missing. His video clips show he knows where to be in the box to score goals. Let’s hope he comes good.

Bye Joe. Thanks for all the…errr…strolls.

It’s extremely disappointing that SR have allowed this striker in/out situation to progress right to the end of the window. But then that’s what we’ve seen time and time again…depletion of squad quality. Why the hell would any of our best players want to stay in the summer if they get better offers?

A really convincing win. Get a top striker and we’ll be uncatchable. 😜 Tonda giving the Ref some right stick…rightly so. Three decent pen claims and you’d expect at least one to be given.

Welington is so fucking much better than Manning. 110%

Good God - this Ref is shite

Very good team performance today. Ih fuck - Manning on. Why?!?

Cheerio, cheerio, cheerio! 🤣

Yep Baz lets that in

Ref is determined to hand Stoke a lifeline.

Cynical foul by Stoke player and no card - dick of a Ref

Peretz gets card for time wasting - fucking clown of a Ref

Starting to look a bit leggy in midfield - need Charles on.

Ref ignored a tug on Scienza which then turned the ball over. Eckhert making changes too early?

We need another goal. Now please.

Yes!!! Thank you!!!

Need another goal. Now please.

Ref is an absolute arsehole.

Yeah, they’ve been scoring for fun right? 🥴🙄

I just hope the instruction from Tonda is keep the pressure high away from our goal! Stoke are not good enough to create their own chances and so we must not give them easy ones.

We would score more goals if some of our players were a little less selfish in attack. The pass from Fellows to Azaz who scored was an excellent example of what needs to be done more.

Ref is utterly shite

Ref absolutely bottling a pen there.

Absolutely this. Lose both and we’ll be screwed for the rest of the season…possibly. Got to say, the goals have not exactly been flying in for either of them - especially Archer. IF Spors is able to find better players as loans that could be to our advantage, but I don’t trust that process in the slightest.

Nope - sorry not having it. He’s slower than AA, has seemingly zero positional sense, can’t tackle, doesn’t find a decent pass and usually shoots straight at the keeper. I’m trying to think of one attribute.
