They have. You can’t buy child ticket on an adult either.

No, you can only buy for that person's age bracket.

Thanks. I knew they stopped adult accounts buying child tickets but didn’t know if it was the other way round too.

Pre game Robins appears, we all clap out of respect

First half : we dominate the game, and Simms.puts us 1-0 up

Second half we come out, first 10 minutes Stoke pile on the pressure, we catch them on the counter, 2-0 Sakamoto.

18 minutes later Stoke once again trying to get back in the game lose the ball and Wright finds Mason Clarke who nets the 3rd goal.

Final score CCFC 3-0 SCFC

Fans chant Lampards name, and Stoke City and Robins remain piss poor, wide open in the middle of the park, very slow sideways and backwards passing reminiscent of the start of this season at our club.

The end.

I've watched a load of Stoke City games since Robins took charge, Robins looks lost tbh. Without Aidy and Dennis alongside him,
taking the sessions, it's clear a day that there is something lacking.

Stoke are playing exactly how we were earlier this season. They beat Swansea 3-1 and honestly looked awful, Swansea wasted so many chances.

I watched the game against Watford, Watford should have won it 2-0. It was clear to see, Watford at any given moment could have gone 1-0 they were breaking through with ease, Stokes midfield was non existent, they have poor forwards and their defence is always suspect.

1 player that stood out was a Sakamoto regen, the guy was just like QPR's Sakamoto regen, very technical, agile and generally caused problems throughout.

I really do fear for Robins, his coaching staff aren't at the level of Aidy and Dennis, Stokes team are nowhere near the level of our squad and the only player that you could look at and think, he's good enough is their goalkeeper.

Robins will be given a summer transfer window to put things right, he won't and neither will his coaching staff.

the style of play is exactly that of how we were playing, an emphasis of entertaining football that consists of trying to maintain possession without any real tactical approach. It's very much "if we can break through the oppositions midfield, play a side pass and then play a pass back to the defender (Which wasn't entertaining)

Robins will bring in 4 or 5 players, stink the joint out, repeat the words "process, adaptation phase" and other buy me some time words, but the lack of tactical know how from his coaching staff will ultimately see him gone by next February/March.

Robins, bite the bullet pal, give aidy a text sort it out and then give Dennis a call. Get them all back and you will once again be able to showcase your ability as being a fantastic trio.

They won't open block 5 because Stoke have already sold out block 6. Just block 4 and the two sections behind the dugouts to be opened.

I drove up to The Potteries early this morning and had 2 bacon and cheese oatcakes with brown sauce and ate them whilst waiting for the clayheads to report for training at The Michelin at Hanford wearing my City shirt.

So there.

Beat that.

All of that is a fair assessment, but it doesn't change the fact that Saturday is a one off game and anything can happen. With the knowledge he has of our players, perhaps this is the game where he gets the tactics right and maximises the performance from his team?

We should comfortably beat these but we all know Robins could do a number and a 0-1

if we’re up for it, it’s a home win

The interesting thing will be whether we continue to threaten from crosses into the box without Rudoni to either deliver or get on the end of them. His absence will have an impact but if we’re on form we will have too much for them.

Two of the crosses for goals Saturday came from Sakamoto and Bidwell, so I think we should be okay for the Stoke game

Yes agree. It was also interesting to see Burnley struggling with crosses into their box last night. Hopefully we can exploit it when we play them.

Corporate was pretty full that day I think. Unfortunately the balcony and boxes won't be half full for this one.
