Baka as usual looked lost and offered nothing. He seems to run away from the ball than towards it for some reason.

Results have gone our way today so a decent point. We played well in patches today, but need to be clinical in front of goal.

Scrapping out some points. We never looked a massive threat but at least we look tight.

Yep, hasn’t got a football brain unfortunately. His movement is so poor for a professional footballer, always seems to run into the wrong space.

That's a decent point, defended well against a good side who will get in the play offs. Thought Baka and Biamou did ok when they came on. We should be combining two strikers with a supply line in Giles though.

I actually think Robins was quite cute bringing them both on and Keeping All
en and O'Hare on even if getting a bit leggy.

It gave them two strikers to think about and something a bit different.

I think a like for like for Godden and even Giles for McCallum giving an attacking option - would have opened it up more for Stoke to come onto us the last 10 minutes.

Desperately need better attacking midfield options. Our back five and holding midfield options aren't bad but O'Hare, Allen and Shipley etc are absolutely miles off. O'Hare gets worse every game I watch.

I’m a bit surprised he came on. Thought his complete lack of any impact in his last few appearances coupled with the culpability for the goal in the last game may have done for him with MR.

Would have took a point before the game. A team with even a tiny bit more quality would’ve beaten them 2/3-0, but that’s where we are at with these players. On to a winnable game at Preston.

I've said this about bakayoko before but he does a lot of running puts in a shift but its never any where near the ball he needs to go

Well in that case give him a new contract then! We all know Biamou is the better of the 2, albeit both aren’t up to the level. Don’t mind Biamou being on the bench for us as a cheap option but Baka has to go.

Enjoyable game. We played some lovely stuff. Stoke not so much, but they were still effective and threatening.

Amazed it finished goalless, I don't think we defended all that well at times and some of the lads that played really well would then go and do something wild a minute later.

Allen has done well again today against a big physical team.

We are missing Kelly aka the human shield.

The problem is he is what we have in our squad. We have very little budget compared to other teams at this level. We have to stick with him and try and improve him.

We are handicapped because some of our squad are League 1. But that is what two successive promotions bring on a limited budget.

Lot of calm confidence on here for a team that can’t score. Unless we are going for 25 0-0’s which might just do it

Baka Allen Biamou Shipley will probably be moved on in the summer. For now we must use them and credit to them for helping CCFC to stay up hopefully

Disagree. I think behind a fully fit Godden COH and Allen are fine, particularly in the box formation.

It would be great if COH adds a clinical goal scoring side to his game and maybe he will. But don’t underestimate the other work he does. His chasing down/tackling and sheer effort is rare in an AM and I fancy frees Hamer up a bit. He’s a manager’s dream.

Why because we can't put in a decent performance that results in goals? Guess spending money each game owning 2 of the 3 kits and having the crest tattoo on my left isn't enough for you.

They brought on a 13 million pound player.
Some of our support just aren't bright enough to realise the budgetary constraints Robins is working under.

I wouldnt move Allen on. I think he is a decent player. Good fitness levels, good touch. Think he will be an asset long term.

Exactly. They also had McLean and Fletcher, who although they weren't great, were bought for zillions compared to the market in which we operate.

Doesn’t matter how much money you’ve spent and how many shit tattoos you’ve got. If you decide to stop bothering supporting the team then you’re no longer a supporter. Same bullshit the trust wronguns pulled out every time people pointed out they’d given up on the club.

I pointed out something he did that biamou didn't not offering him a contract. If you are happy to slag someone off its only fair to point out good points too

I’m a Robins fan, nowhere near the idiotic taxi brigade that’s desperate to pounce on every mistake.

But everyone has weaknesses and substitutions are absolutely one of MR’s. Often too late and/or the wrong ones.

Must be why we are getting beaten every game....
