higher Dreaded penalties on the horizon.

We look extremely ragged when they break. So I don't fancy it going to pens. I think there's a goal in this still,one way or another.

They've thrown that away with poor game management.

Snowflake Royal Hoping for both teams to come down with an unpleasant but ultimately harmless stomach bug for a week and the whole thing to be called off this year.

What's up sweet cheeks, surprised no one wants your shower to win?

WestYorksRoyal Surely you can coach the defensive side, when his left foot is that good? Up there with Harte's.

Looks like we don’t think so.

He may not be a great defender, but that really is a hell of a set piece taker.

oxf*rd me, took a while for that to go in!

That break from them was never offside either.

Tuma been to the Shane Long School of diving.

Not even remotely a foul, the keeper ran into him and dropped it.

Orion1871 Definitely a pen. Sunderland player shoves our lad in the back with his forearm.

And goes into his leg with his leg.

No attempt to play the ball, just the man and Clarke is just shielding.

Looked a pen.

Then off the line


Stone cold pen in fact

Well, bit disjointed in attack and relying on set pieces. Akande's lacked a little on final ball. Clarke obviously out of position. Sunderland making the defence look slow and poorly positioned all too often. CBC made some important saves. Both their goals wonders strikes we just didn't close well e...

morganb Not an ex-player but ex-staff:

Stoke City’s Head of Recruitment, Jared Dublin, will be leaving his position with the Club.

Only went there in August didn't he?

Yep. Not gone great it seems

Snowflake Royal Where was our left flank when they attacked then, two spare.

Scrambling it away, living life dangerously.


Great run from Clarke then though.

We’re getting ripped apart down our left flank. Similar to the first team.

It's odd, because they're both defenders. But they have so much space.

Safe to say their RB looks tasty. Number 7 ok too.

He's soft as,but wand of a leftfoot that Carson. Good head across Stickland.

Kelly (and Norwood for good measure) were both decent players but it’s about integrating them into the right system which is where they both struggled to an extent. Wouldn’t call them one dimensional as such but certainly wouldn’t describe them as all rounder players Partnering Norwood with William...

Yeah, if this drags on recruitment will be affected. Plus, after the false promises of last season I can see our best players wanting to bail. I don’t think there’ll be any announcement until mid July now, but at least the new season doesn’t start until 10/11 August. On what basis do you make the j...
