[Snowflake Royal]

Olise and Baldock on for Puscas and Eteves

[Ascotexgunner]

Broken foot. Months. Shame we couldn't bring Miazga back.

So the club saying it’s tissue damage and Liam having an outside chance of playing today is wide of the mark then

I’m not aware he has a broken foot.

Get Reading said his foot was broken last week.

[NewCorkSeth]

I have an irrational reaction every time Baldock is brought on. I like him well enough and have thought he has had some decent periods but he only seems to be brought on when we are trailing and not creating and honestly. What is he going to do? He never does anything as a sub other than run around with good intent and industry. But he won't score or assist. He just doesn't do that.

[Zip]

This is awful. Baldock really is shit.

[Simon's Church]

The worrying thing is Ejaria will be back soon and slow down our attacking play

+1 with that. Should have kept Puscas on. We know he can come to life given the chances.

[tidus_mi2]

We just look desperate now.

[Snowflake Royal]

That was a good run and cut back by Baldock, shit cross later. Then another good run and pass to Olise

[Sutekh]

Have Stoke actually created anything that wasn’t teed up for them by **** defending?

[Hound]

Nope

[Zip]

That was a good run and cut back by Baldock, shit cross later. Then another good run and pass to Olise

His first involvement was to fall over. He then sent a cross straight to the keeper and then laid a ball off to a Stoke player in a dangerous position.

They hit the post, although that might’ve been from poor defending as well, I can’t remember.

[Snowflake Royal]

I've lost count of how many times we've given it away poorly in our defensive third today. Got to be at least 6 or 7 times.

Esteves for the goal
Cabral for the goal
RInomhota
Yiadom
Baldock

[CountryRoyal]

We’re missing our best players and it really shows. Very little quality one display.

[Notts Royal]

There’s no shape to the side at all now - both Olise and Baldock playing wide right. Stoke very comfortable but if you gift them 2 goals of course they are going to defend this out

Yeah, I mean if you're just going to ignore anything good he does then yeah he's totally shit.

[Zip]

2-0 down and Rinomhota running through needing Richards to make a run and he remains static.

Yep a terrible attempt to play out from the back

[alfie9]

This club is abusive

That's 5.
