    Are we unable to track runners? What the fuck.

    Not his fault but Eccles is not a 10. Really limits us offensively, on and off the ball.

    JDS at fault and then not tracking runners. Poor defensive goal. I guess if we’re going to play ‘with confidence’ it’s going to happen. Playing with more tempo now - we’ll be fine.

    I really, really, really want Simms to have a good game.

    Absolutely gutted to be missing this. Partner has booked a weekend away and despite my genuine attempts to get out of it (which did not go down well) I won’t be attending. So if anyone can recommend a pub in Chester which will be showing the game I’d be very grateful!

    Haji shite

    It’s fair to quote his positive stats and acknowledging he can be a game winner, while also being massively frustrated when he performs nowhere near the level he should. In fact, that’s what makes it even more frustrating and prompts such strong reactions. He needs to do more - because we know...

    Robin’s Take On The Game

    He is Stokes manager now, naturally his comments are going to be subjective to his own team. His team also lost the game fairly late one. And it’s against his former Boss, who he likely holds resentment for. So he’s going to be emotive due to the loss, plus the factors above. If we lost to...

    Dasilva Redemption

    Always been technically great. Back end of last season and from the start of this, he’s utilised this more as an attacking outlet. And now, it’s fair to say, he’s very much mitigating his defensive frailties too. Massive redemption arc and he’s deserves big credit for going from being strongly...

    Simms has to start next game. Whether that’s Wright LW or benched I don’t mind. But another anonymous performance today.

    Appreciate it. Sorry for another question; busy to the point it’s a ballache to get served?!

    Anything on the away fan pubs? Ended up in a pub with decent beer, but full of home fans.

    Posted about it before but their RB (Tchamadeu) had EMC in his pocket last year. He struggles against strong pacey FB’s. So we definitely need him on his game today.

    Mentioned it earlier in the thread, but definitely looking forward to an away day. Found a craft beer pub which is open near the station so heading there before a more game day pub. Where are people heading / what are the away pubs today?

    Re Wrexham, we also shouldn’t downplay the fact there was clearly an illness going round the camp, so I suspect a few weren’t 100%. That will make a difference, especially at our level. Cliche, but small margins and all that. Definitely a tough game ahead today, I’d take a draw but the...

    Also, other than the jubilation of that Thomas goal, my other memory of the home game last year was their RB (Tchamadeu) absolutely having EMC’s number. When against a physical and pacey FB EMC can struggle, so I really hope he’s up for it on Saturday as we saw how important his role is to the...
