Well that's what unlimited spending courtesy of a gambling tycoon gets you in contrast to 3 consecutive transfer windows on the cheap.

Agreed, as has Hamer. Who looks more Northern Premier than Premier League standard today. Both our best players have been abysmal.

The thing is we've not played particularly well for weeks, just played against some very poor teams so it was inevitable that we'd come a cropper against a decent side in form

That's where we really miss the dirty work Jamie Allen does off the ball.

BNC and JWE just a waste of squad place. Stop developing players who won’t make it at this level.

Unbeleivably the results have all gone our way today. Which also means we failed to improve on everyone!
If you are an optimist you would say it has given us a wake up call. We are still in with every chance of the playoff's. Not if we play this way again though!

On paper, today is the most difficult game until Middlesbrough. Average wage of the Stoke side is 12k a week

33 quid and they serve that up , away from the idea that our front 2 have been the problem today , our midfield man hamer has been appalling today , Sheaf got a bit better second half , but midfield was a huge issue today , offered no protection to a back 3 that were also truly fucking awful .

Let's be honest with Allen, O'Hare and Palmer all out we have to go with a system that has always failed against sides good on the ball. That or use Howley who just isn't ready for this standard of football yet.

Wages have nothing to do with the fact our players can't pass the ball between themselves, switch off at the first opportunity, and flap a match in such an embarrassing manner.

They're professional footballers.

Agreed. It's actually been a game that shows what Allen brings to the team - at least he might have given us a bit of energy today.

We would almost certainly have gone for a box today, injuries permitting. Even then though that doesn't excuse so many players letting themselves down.
