Live he looked well off - I don’t the assistant was in line but all our players were in their half - it’s been a dreadful performance

He may as well bring Cuffey and Esbrand on and just tell them to run and run - get McNally off as well

Shite but I'm so sick of the negative day trippers. Booing and moaning when they slow up play.

There's playing to the whistle and there is holding a line.

Referee and officials having an absolute shocker. You hear clubs like Blackpool moaning about the Vik decision last season but we've had absolutely nothing at home this season.

Panicking every time we pass a ball. Same everytime. No wonder they aren't completing a pass.

Every bloody legends day we play crap. Its almost as if the pomp and ceremony of the occasion is too much for the players to go out and do their stuff.

That's one of the worst 45 minutes I've seen us play this season. We look petrified. We can't keep the ball for more than 10 seconds. The one time we did, we had no idea what to do with it. It was also about the only time Sheaf, Eccles, and Godden have been involved. We've created no good chances, and when we get forward on the right it seems to be very predictable. Impotent.

Too many players hiding, and the ones that aren't cannot string a pass together. The positive is that the second half surely can't be any worse. Triple sub and play a more attacking formation. We can't come out carrying on like this surely?

Boos at half time. Just terrible and so disappointing.

Every one of them bar Wilson and Doyle should be ashamed of their displays

Nothing like a cov meltdown like this.

Stoke paid more on wages this season than we have in the last 9 years combined.

That first half performance was totally unacceptable, regardless of whether we're trying to get promoted or clinging in to relegation. Absolutely no quality, no desire, so slippy in possession.

McNally in particular is putting in one of the worst performances ever in a Cov shirt, but it's poor all over the shop.

Even against Norwich we sorted ourselves out after 20-25 minutes. We have been awful from start to finish.

The question for Robins is why

Given how quickly the ball has travelled, he must be the fastest man alive to be that far ahead and not be offside

Agreed but doyle's been just as poor as the rest of the outfield players, bar one surging run.

A red? If that was a red, we'd have played against 8 men every week

Very disappointed in us as fans. Everyone around me shouting at the players from the 5th minute onwards. Players look terrified to do anything. I know we’ve played shit but the fans have been worse. Hostile / angry atmosphere

Such a bizarre performance. Everyone looks nervous as hell on the ball. Stoke first to everything. Need to change formation as I cannot see anything but a thrashing as it stands. 14 shots to 2 is an embarrassment!

So frustrating. Stoke have looked very good to be fair, pressed well, left no outlets, but we’ve been a shambles so far. No composure. Need to come out all firing second half

Probably because their wage budget is 6x the size of ours?

Mad behaviour, half the east stand went mental because Dabo didn't instantly take a throw in even though there was nothing on for him

Unfortunately that gives no clue to whether it was offside or not, every single one of our players were stationary so even a 10 meter sprint a player would look like Usain bolt on a still like that.

Right from the kick off we started badly and out of sorts. That set a tone. One player miss passes then another, and before you know it the team are not finding any passes. Hamer, Sheaf and Eccles all asleep in midfield. In fact we look like we have all been on the booze during these stupid international breaks. What they were doing in defence when Stoke ran at us in atrocious.
We need to get our heads together, start passing around and run at this poor Stoke defence.

I'll take 2-2 now.
