He ran from midfield, a midfielder should of been tracking him

Sky Sports + seems decent but the picture is breaking up a bit.
What did Wright do when he came on to justify this?Yeah, you're right. Based on the 62 mins EMC was on the field in this one, single game, we have to accept for the rest of the season, he can only play from the bench.
Eccles was giving up on chases too easily, made some rash decisions on the ball also. He didn’t do much right in his spell either.wasn’t great when he came on though, and was weak for their goal
what we need is another midfielder, we’ve said this since the end of last season, in fact since we lost Gus, and yet we still haven’t solved the problem
Stoke looked average.Rudoni does look very decent but the team need to avoid trying to put every forward move through him...will get sussed out really quickly by opposing teams.
Midfield needs adding to.Thought Stoke looked pretty good tbh.
As others have mentioned Robins made the changes at the wrong time (unusual tbh),also noticed that Mark Delaney was in the technical area for the period of the game in the 2nd half that we were on top.
Not time to start panicking but I'm sure we're all a bit deflated.
Stoke were as bad as us. Two poor teams. First half they were better. Second we were better. Ref told them to stop time wasting 3 times even before they scored.We didn't really lay a glove on them. The first half we were totally overrun. We were a little better in the second half, but the performance overall was poor. Concerns over midfield still not addressed and backline looked suspect. Need to address it in this window. Stoke deserved the win on the balance of play.
"I miss Adi, he normally tells me what to do"What has robins said ?
Think stoke were better than we were .. we looked like everything good we did In the pre season matches went out the windowStoke were as bad as us. Two poor teams. First half they were better. Second we were better. Ref told them to stop time wasting 3 times even before they scored.
Performance was as badJust landed. Absolutely minging result ffs

First half. They were poor second.Think stoke were better than we were .. we looked like everything good we did In the pre season matches went out the window
Stoke look quicker to every ball so far, and that little bit stronger - hopefully they’ll get tired soon
Good save Ollie by the way
Really I thought Stoke were shit just won the game in midfieldRudoni does look very decent but the team need to avoid trying to put every forward move through him...will get sussed out really quickly by opposing teams.

They were that poor they had more shots than us 2nd half too and scored .. we had a decent 20 all game , that's itFirst half. They were poor second.
Agreed, most disappointing part of it for me.We looked like everything good we did In the pre season matches went out the window
There should have been 2 defenders on the edge of the box instead of one, it would have been far more difficult to make that run inHe ran from midfield, a midfielder should of been tracking him
Indeed but they were set up better than us today for sureStoke looked average.
How was Allen? Personally can't believe we've spent all that money assembling this squad to start Jamie Allen.Performance was as bad

Torp should have played more central instead of Allen and it was a lot like games last season to many passes backwards, and the most disappointing thing for me was both wings too slow and no penetration.Really poor performance, no positives. Felt just like a continuation of the same limp play from the end of last season.
Torp needs to start playing at a higher intensity. No doubt Allen will get the criticism but Torp was as bad as it gets today.
The subs were unnecessary and took any momentum we had.
The officials were just odd .. really inconsistent all gameI will say though that the decision to book Binks after 2 minutes was ridiculous and really didn’t help. Referee was dreadful.
I can’t really explain our performance, the pre-season games looked cohesive, players looked sharp and confident. Then we turn in a very similar performance to the QPR game.Indeed but they were set up better than us today for sure
Every nudge on them was a freekick but nothing the other way around. How their player wasn't booked before Binks was a jokeThe officials were just odd .. really inconsistent all game
They were all shite but he was worst of the the lot by a long wayWasn't great but really it's hard to single him out , we were shite all over really
Particularly after waving play on when they smashed us in a far worse foul 30 seconds earlierI will say though that the decision to book Binks after 2 minutes was ridiculous and really didn’t help. Referee was dreadful.
