Just catching up.  Oh dear.

C'mon Charlton i fancied a point.

Can only assume we trained and prepped to play McGeady but then he fell ill? Desperately needs a HT shake up amd lucky if we are only one down.

Sarr for Davies at half time for me. 

Agree, need to change shape and that’s the obvious way to do it. Would then suit Doughty for Purrington on 60 mins as well

SSN: Charlton had no chances except for the corner that Pearce headed over, Taylor not in it as he has no service

Stand out player is either Pratley or Pearce. Both have tried to be stokes 12th man

There has not been one enjoyable moment all half. What is this?

It’s certainly up there with Middlesbrough away.

Stoke deserve credit, they've given us nothing. One of those games where we are gonna need someone to create a moment and we're not looking likely as of right now.

I don't get our attacking shape. Every player who receives the ball past halfway line is massively isolated and quickly loses it.

Corner, Stoke City. Conceded by Adam Matthews.

I hate saying this, I really do, but Pearce is just not good enough for this level.

Especially in a back 4 with a full back next to him that’s not fast. 

We’re trying to play out from the back and asking him to play like Naby and be a semi playmaker, but he just doesn’t have the passing ability. 

It’s not even like we look significantly more solid with him in the team, we concede just as many soft goals.

Do we really need three defensive midfielders in the same 11?

No. And I said before the game that the line up was too defensive. I dont know how managers get coaching badges......perhaps they give them out in party bags.

45' Deep cross from Matthews, but Butland makes the claim. #scfc 1 #cafc 0
