Fabulous result!! Well done City.

Now back to the league.

Liquid Gold · 2026-01-10T16:57:57+0000

Ah well. We don’t need any more fixture congestion

Tommo1993 · 2026-01-10T16:57:57+0000

Moving swiftly on not pleased to lose, pleased to be out of it though.

Osullivan18 · 2026-01-10T16:57:59+0000

Don't care too much, but the last minute and half the ball was in play what 5-10 seconds?

Chris1987 · 2026-01-10T16:58:10+0000

Esse should be starting the next game.

David O'Day · 2026-01-10T16:58:14+0000

You can make a case for Saka, Esse,Simms and EMC being the front 3 next week

SIR ERNIE · 2026-01-10T16:58:15+0000

Take that

decent second half performance

Surely I can’t be the only one concerned by our sudden inability to score?

Esoterica · 2026-01-10T16:58:28+0000

I wish we could have a combination of both managers, Mank Lampins or Fark Rompard would be next level.

Should've been at least another 3 minutes on the end of that.

Wouldn’t of mattered

fernandopartridge · 2026-01-10T16:58:33+0000

Lads it was the same low intensity ponderous shite we've seen a lot recently.

stevefloyd · 2026-01-10T16:58:38+0000

Right over to you now Doug get the yank gone and bring a quality striker in

SeshMouseSkyBlue · 2026-01-10T16:58:43+0000

Esse looks better on the wing!

quinn1971 · 2026-01-10T16:58:55+0000

Someone needs to tell haji there’s 20 games left, can you turn up please…

Chris1987 · 2026-01-10T16:59:07+0000

All 8,000 Stoke fans who bothered to turn up acting like they've won the cup.

Evo1883 · 2026-01-10T16:59:08+0000

We dont need the extra matches , look how damaging a cup run was for our league form 2 seasons ago

Glad its gone

Oh bloody hell. After us losing, they are the last band I want to hear play

Yep for me felt like a friendly.

Woolfenden for a player that calls himself cultured is a very safe and slow passer, awful

Said all along I wasn’t keen on us signing him and I wanted someone better. He doesn’t appear to be a player that’s better than what we had, I wanted an upgrade.

Would have much prefer Ronnie Edwards for a similar fee

Would have liked a bit more from the new players, but hey ho. Full focus on Leicester. Rudoni still living off reputation.

SBT · 2026-01-10T16:59:47+0000

Matt Grimes not playing any football today is as good as a win imo

mark82 · 2026-01-10T16:59:48+0000

Oh well. Not really that bothered. Made 8 changes, beaten by a wonder goal. Few positives to take from that in that our backups competed with an almost full strength Stoke side. Yang & Esse look decent additions. If Hadji takes the easiest chance of the match we go on to win.

TomRad85 · 2026-01-10T16:59:51+0000

Some proper mentalists on here. The big one is next week, 2 important home games coming up! Esse looked class and I think will start more often than not.

Matt smith · 2026-01-10T16:59:52+0000

We did enough there to win that

probably a blessing

20 game shootout

David O'Day · 2026-01-10T16:59:52+0000

Or if you have to start Wright then Esse as the 10 as he will play closer to the striker?

fernandopartridge · 2026-01-10T16:59:59+0000

Rudoni and Wright were fucking terrible.

Rudi was probably one of our better players, we created absolutely nothing once he went off

they were both good?

Hard to take any positives from the game at all if it finishes like this, you are deluding yourself if you think otherwise

Apart from the two new guys looking decent, apart from Andrews getting good minutes and looking decent, apart from resting a few first teamers a bit, apart from not having to play more games than we need to to win the league, apart from picking up no more injuries, apart from having Allen back in the squad, apart from the cup serving as 1 match of Thomas's ban.

Other than that, you're spot on.

Those 4 being our front 3 ?

duffer · 2026-01-10T17:00:37+0000

The new lads looked ok, Andrews looks like he might be a very decent player, but a single moment apart, it feels like we're carrying Wright with Rudoni not much better.

Top notch goal from them in fairness...

They’re both bug problems for us at the moment. Supposedly our best players who have dropped off a cliff.

curly_tom · 2026-01-10T17:00:45+0000

Im actually really disappointed. I hate fielding weakened teams in the cup. It pisses me off. I like a cup run and it feels like we didn’t try. Deserved to lose but the fault lies with Lampard for not trying. A win would have been better for the general mood. What’s that now, 2 wins in 8? Poor show

Nick · 2026-01-10T17:00:47+0000

My worry was that we looked worse with saka and emc coming on. Not as direct
