Disappointing first half. We were always going to be up against it but giving away two very soft goals in the opening 20mins or so has made it a nigh on impossible task. An equally soft third goal hasn't helped matters either. I hope we don't crumble and get done by a cricket score.

Cant believe that we dont have defenders on the post at corners, defending at set pieces was piss poor.
Gus has a big job on his hands lifting the team, if Stoke score another 2 or 3 the way we respond on Tuesday could make or break the season.
Makes the Plymouth game absolutely massive IMHO

Seriously MB. There is no need for that. Do you want a ban?
I'm a big boy. I can handle a few naughty words slung in my direction.
3rd goal came from Greer's shithouse pass on the halfway line, which led to a blocked shot and the corner.
If only we had a Kish/Navs/Sparrow out there.
Naff all on the bench too. Could be a long 45. Oh well, at least our next games not too far around the corner.

Yeah you could be right. I think he should have been closer to the centre of the goal when the cross came in but then I suppose that would have left us open for a near post goal.

I think all Gus will care about is not getting a dent in confidence. Plymouth now become a huge game, and if we go on to beat them tuesday, I think we'll go on to win the league at a canter. Just have not got to let this result destroy the players belief, although that said he will probably make about 5 or 6 chnages for tuesday

lol. I'm a bit pissed off but sheesh some people are taking this REALLY badly, haha.
I'm afraid I predicted this in the Scores thread (well - at full time not half-time). We've been vulnerable at set pieces all season - eg Hartlepool's goal. That said, Brez really has made this hard for us - he's definitely at fault here. Poor fella.
no fan of batti but with the players out who else was there to pick?

We need to pass much quicker and look to play more balls forward. They're making us look silly, just waiting for a mistrayed pass or interception. Remember, Stoke are used to playing teams who pass better than us and twice as quickly. They will sit back and soak it up all day.

Thought Bridcutt and Calde have been our best.

Yup - great fun. And much more entertaining than the second half promises to be, although I'd love to be wrong. SURELY a flounce or a ban is in the offing...here I mean, not in Stoke...
We're doing what we do in League One the right foot - but it's just not good enough against a Prem side. Can't simply in effect say "we must be better" - because we aren't. Not a fair match up once you've given a Prem side like stoke a two goal lead.
