Our crossing has been truly woeful

I'm not sure on Bidwell last few games, usually a steady Eddie but some of the basic stuff he's struggling with.

Billing would be a monster of a player at this level, scores a lot of goals for his position as well, I doubt this a lot, he's got enough quality to stay into he prem.

Maybe the last few games have damaged me, but they had several chances at the end that could have gone anywhere.

We really do look quite frail at the moment, it's a good job we've had so much if the ball tonight as you just feel like we can concede off every attack.

Bassettes movement is the obvious strength I'm seeing, creates options for others and his acceleration is great, nice to see we have different attacking options that offer different things.

I see those shooting drills have been going well ,😁

Who said Eccles is allowed to shoot!?

Happy for the point after that showing, but not losing that game has the potential of papering over the cracks, we need to stop buying forwards now and get some fighters in the middle that can pass a simple ball.

We need shooting practice badly, another thing to add to the list from this viewing.

Problem is we don't have one other than just bring on more attacking players and hope we get a moment but without any particular plan to get them the ball in dangerous areas. Our glaring issues are at the back, but in this game it's been a massive highlight on how bad our middle of the park is...

Midfield today is killing us.

I cannot believe we're tipped by some as autos, miles off it. It's a sh*tting the bed comment from me, but we've been made to look incredibly average by stoke and this Bristol team, and nearly let slip a home win to a newly promoted team who were average at best. Second best to the ball, not...

This, football is a working class sport, cost of living is rough for people, then the expectation of kids wanting full kits, tickets to games or season ticket prices, food at the match, travel to get there, yada yada...list goes on, it's a decision that's made much easier due to how much cheaper...

Alot of people have us for autos this season, yes it's the first game, but I think they were only looking at our attacking options.

I repeat

Thomas' passing forward needs some work

We really struggled with the press, everyone looking nervous, our press has been half hearted and easily played around, kinda felt like i was watching England again during the KO stages 🤣

Midfield non existent. Stoke seem to be able to pick it up, turn and drive at us every time putting us on the back foot. Obvious scapegoat but Allen looked to get out muscled, he's also marking an absolute unit for corners which is a worry nobody has picked that up.

His decision, his career, don't actually care, he was always going somewhere else, just be thankful it's not Leicester.
