Stoke City FC v Brighton and Hove Albion ****Official Match Thread****

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

And why no El Abd? I would have thought it was gis sort of game.

Manager's obviously decided to throw in as many reserves as he thinks he can get away with (Brezovan, Elphick, Batti)

 

[footychick]

What a load of rubbish! Hope the 2nd half is better.

 

[jimhigham]

Just hoping this doesn't hit league form like after the first round with Woking. If Bournemouth don't manage a win today and we win midweek we can really nail our advantage.

 

[Stevie Boy]

Why is Noone not on the bench? Is he injured?

I think he may be cup tied

 

[Rookie]

3-0 half time , Stoke identified our weakest link and exploited it to the full.

No Stoke are playing exactly the way people thought they would. Long throw and use their wings. better teams than us struggle with it.

 

[chez]

f*** sake. Explain how the f*** Brez was at fault for number 3?

Bad positioning IMO

 

[tonymgc]

This is depressing 3 rudimentry errors too. We're better than this, Still 45 mins to go c'mon lads

charlton 0 exeter 0 ht. Exeter a good outfit away from home, be nice if they got something from the game

 

[Mr Burns]

Shocking, isn't it, how some people just seem to have it in for a player and let that cloud their judgement of his performances in games?

Go f*** yourself. Why is it ***** like you automatically think someones got it in for a player because they negative things to say. I said it a million times I hope Barnes turns out to be class. If you're only comments, as they are is I have an agenda or have it in for Barnes, then get over it, you silly little twat.

Exactly, don't think we've looked out of place except for set pieces where Stoke have taken the piss. Just a bit odd as it's the one thing everyone knew Stoke would throw at us. They're not all that compared to us elsewhere at all.

 

[Forster's Armband]

We seem to back to our old don't give a shit about the cup type form. I am not saying Brez is shit but he has been shit today. We are a different team without Ankergran's distribution. Just hope this does not end up 6 or 7-0.

Don't think it will as long as we don't concede 5 or 6! Get one back, lose 3-1 and move on.

 

[GT49er]

Oh dear, what an awful first half! We looked out-classed and out-muscled and out-passed - Radio 5 commentary not in sinc. with live streaming (running about a minute or two earlier). Midfield not working well, and not much room for manoevre with the subjects.

Radio 5 did mention Batti once, after about half an hour, so he must be out there. What does he look like?

 

[Diatribe]

better teams than us have problems with stoke's set pieces and balls in the box guys...

meow.

Bad positioning IMO

Really? From a flicked on corner. MOre than a bit harsh. First goal defo down to him. Second was like a bullet, maybe should have done better but you see goals like that in every division all the time. Third goal, impossible to pin on the keeper.

Don't think there was a need to go mental like that mate.

Correct! Batti has never really made an impact in L1 so it's clear to see that Gus ain't too bothered about this game but I'm sure Plymouth will be a different story.

 

[Mr Burns]

meow.

That sums you up don't it, you thick shit stirring CU NT

 

[fleet]

How wonderful Crawley have got off their coach
