Does anyone actually give a fuck?

We need the confidence back. We need to get back to winning ways. While this game might not mean much, we need these players to believe.

That’s what we had at the start of the season and it gives them that extra belief and that’s what we are missing

I didn't come all this way (50 miles) to see us lose.
I'm going to riot if we don't go through.

Il be watching from the comfort of my sofa for once , il look out for you during the riots

I reckon it’s a fair lineup, it’s not like we’ve thrown a team of kids out there, these are deemed as championship players. If they want to offer something to the team they need to be able to handle these type of games or they are no use to us.
Our centre backs cost £8-9m
Rudoni cost £5m
Wright cost £9m
The rest all loans, frees or came through academy

So not a strong one then ?

 

[David O'Day]

Alot of changes though , stoke comms suggest theyve gone really strong

yep, 9 of their team started last league match it seems

 

[covcity4life]

Come next Sat there will be probably be about 8/9 changes .

Yeah. So it's good rotation

 

[Nick]

Be interesting to see Simms up front with the 2 new lads.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Does anyone actually give a fuck?

Of course, why wouldn't you?

 

[stupot07]

So what we have made a stack of changes and are away from home in a match we are not bothered about the result

Whilst, I'm not fussed on the result, the run of form we have been on, I'd have liked to have seen a reaction and a performance. Other than Andrews the team is an experienced championship side. Even the loanees have played a number of games in this league.

 

[Evo1883]

We are a tough watch atm

Come on , weve seen tough watches , this is just a bit disjointed

 

[Johhny Blue]

Great to see both Stoke fans made it to the game

 

[stupot07]

it's most of our back up players vs a team with 9 league starters

what do you expect?

Better than this.

Exactly, it’s prob only kitching is first choice, rudoni comes out when Asante’s back, torp for Eccles and the rest are back up players, we’ve got 10 back up players starting against a strong Stoke team

 

[PVA]

Hes done ok , well would indicate a very low bar

For a young lad I think he's done well, don't think he's misplaced a pass

Rudoni is never going to be benched. Wright starts, can see Sakamoto being benched.

 

[Saddlebrains]

Of course, why wouldn't you?

I mean it would be nice to win and be in the hat for the 4th round of course

However if we lose il just be like oh well, and carry on with figuring out what date I need to order my sky blue pyro for (spoiler alert, Pompey H 21 April)

 

[David O'Day]

Better than this.

well you are mad then

 

[Evo1883]

All a bit sammy clingan though it feels

 

[Bad Boy]

Does anyone actually give a fuck?

Yes I fucking do and anyone that is ok watching their club get beat and not giving a fuck about it, well..........

 

[fernandopartridge]

For a young lad I think he's done well, don't think he's misplaced a pass

It's all safe passing though, nothing particularly brave. If Jamie Allen did it you'd be complaining

 

[Saddlebrains]

Alright calm down its hardly White Hart Lane 97 is it

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Difference is Jamie Allen is a 30 year old seasoned pro, Andrew’s is an inexperienced Academy player

 

[clint van damme]

'Right then Mr pitch invader, what's your name?'
'Evo, Evo1883, can I go home now?!'

 

[PVA]

It's all safe passing though, nothing particularly brave. If Jamie Allen did it you'd be complaining

Because Jamie Allen isn't going to get any better, Kai Andrews is.

And I said he's doing well for a young lad.

 

[covcity4life]

The usual drama queens out in force.

 

[fernandopartridge]

Difference is Jamie Allen is a 30 year old seasoned pro, Andrew’s is an inexperienced Academy player

No difference at all, if that's all a player is willing to try

 

[quinn1971]

Rudoni is never going to be benched. Wright starts, can see Sakamoto being benched.

Not sure, Simms starts for me, rudoni nowhere near his best, when they’re all fit should go back the team we had when rudoni was injured

 

[Ccfcisparks]

No difference at all, if that's all a player is willing to try

Well yes there quite clearly is a difference

 

[Hincha]

We’re struggling to build up but it’s no surprise as Wilson, Lati, and Bidwell aren’t good enough on the ball

Also never going control the midfield with Andrews in the 8 which is putting more pressure on the defence

New lads look lively enough

People need to remember it doesn’t matter

 

[Ccfcisparks]

Not sure, Simms starts for me, rudoni nowhere near his best, when they’re all fit should go back the team we had when rudoni was injured

Lampard has shown he drops Simms when both available

 

[Sky Blue Pete]

We don't seem to have the nous/desire/ability to get to the ball and defend!
If they could finish, they'd have a load of goals today!

Wonder what the problem is?

 

[Bad Boy]

Alright calm down its hardly White Hart Lane 97 is it

No it's not WHL in 97

 

[quinn1971]

Lampard has shown he drops Simms when both available

How long does he give wright though, we need goals if we’re gonna carry on defending like we are

 

[Nick]

Wright backing off from their smallest player who's under pressure?

 

[Skybluedownunder]

Rudoni having a season like Cole Palmer… one season wonder!

Are wolfenden, Thomas & kitching really good enough ? They get away with it when we’re scoring 3 or 4,Think we need some help in there,
