On balance yes. Allen didn’t have a bad game. Torp was ponderous and largely anonymous.

Thought he played in midfield last season on occasion. Not saying he's great, but Allen is not much better and possibly worse.You lost the discussion when you say Lati should play in midfield

I think I had 12 instead of 11 in my lineup (my bad)...the slashes were for alternate options....in any case every extra player helps especially if the ref favours the other teamNot sure we can get away with playing 14 players at the same time

Allen is a water carrier that will not take us to top 2
Eccles is also not a top 2 midfielder
Torp is not a top 2 midfielder
Palmer is not a top 2 midfielder
Lati standing in is not a top 2 midfielder
If we are serious about challenging right at the top of the league we need far more quility in the middle of the park.
The lack of creativity and incisive passing was the biggest worry for me today.We are not a top 2 contender. Quite where this came from I don't know. We maybe have a bit more quality than last year but with no more strengthening we will finish 8-12th
2021When did we last win our first game of the season?
Sorry I forgot it's not permitted to criticise the world's greatest left back
The goalkeeper was hung out to dry, not his fault.It was a combination of poor positional play by Allen, Bidwell, Binks and Dovin. Ali played a part in the Stoke goal.
He was so inconsistent it was embarrassing. He made a better ball boy then a ref..Ref has had a shocker today
He's already said he's going to watch it backYou know I think the whole team was drinking the same Kool Aid as the pundits and thinking they could just show up and get the 3 points. Really hope this is the rocket up the arse they need to wake up and work hard for every point.
MR better watch his back as well or Dr. Roberts/DK may start lining up candidates for the lead coaching job or who knows Delaney/Dempster may get another promotion (not that I want that).
What else did he say?He's already said he's going to watch it back
If he watches it backwards we'll start 1-0 down and end up 0-0, he'll think we've equalised and play the same 11 next FridayHe's already said he's going to watch it back
It was a good atmosphere. We were quite high up the back and there was constant singing.How were the SBA today? Don't think anyone mentioned the crowd.
His passing was poor too.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.
I agree that top 2 is a stretch but I think we really should be looking to finish better that 8-12th, we finished 9th last year after tailing off quite badly once we got to Wembley, apart from the defence we've strengthened quite well I think.We are not a top 2 contender.

That’s not the whole interview is it?Video - Victor Torp and Mark Robins reflect on Coventry City's defeat against Stoke City 🎙️
Watch on Youtube....www.skybluestalk.co.uk
Has to be top 6 as far as I am concerned.I agree that top 2 is a stretch but I think we really should be looking to finish better that 8-12th, we finished 9th last year after tailing off quite badly once we got to Wembley, apart from the defence we've strengthened quite well I think.
That's all I saw.That’s not the whole interview is it?
We're not much better in the 2 nd hardly created anything.Just got back. Rubbish first half. Brilliant second until they scored.
Thought Thomas and Allen were disappointing.
Yep. Doesn’t really look like what we spent the summer practicing anyway.The CBS gets a really tough crowd as far as getting away from the area is concerned - I genuinely feel it’s one of the best at this level. Stoke is and always has been awful.
As for the game: first half looked as if Robins dropped a completely new system on them before KO. Torp in particular was totally lost for the duration of his game - wouldn’t be the first time though, would it. There were glimpses of Rudoni and Simms connecting, but Sakamoto and EMC gave him nothing.
Definitely game of two halves but I don’t think anyone would’ve complained at a 0-0.
Not too downbeat. Credit is valuable but doesn’t last forever, would expect to see a nasty fire under MR’s arse if we didn’t finish top 6.
Do we know they haven't stopped anything?
