Can someone send me a link to the game, cos I'm obviously watching a completely different one to everyone else. So many saying take Pearce off, but he's been the best of our 3 CB's out there. Without him, it could've been more than 2-0
Who cares if bad ref decisions still gotta defend better than that. They are coping better with conditions. Don't see what Davis offers. More goals in this game.
People with short memories booing the ref, clearly forgetting his remarkable decision not to award a penalty and send Pearce off then?
Isn’t this a “double jeopardy” case where it would only have been a booking? I thought if a penalty is given, you only got a red if it was dangerous play? If the ref gave a pen there, Pearce would only get a yellow for being last man, surely?
McGeady should be subbed for his 'effort' on blocking that second goal alone. It looked like a hungover Sunday league player who'd done enough running for the day.
Pearce was clearly fouled before he dragged the bloke down for the "penalty". Huge shove in the back. CAFC Twitter already said replays proved the ref got it right.

Pearce's legs were clipped form behind.
My angle from the East Stand looked like he was shoved.
Started well & actually had a couple of shots but then reverted to type. Defenders all over the place & midfield gone missing. Cullen & Davis too similar & to defensive....no forward momentum to their play at all.
Need to get players who run with the ball and attack their players, otherwise this game is lost.

I didn't see a penalty. Thought the ref got it spot on. Pearce was knocked off balance, then their player ran in front of him as he was falling
Doughty has been blowing out of his arse most of the game. Can’t have Hemed, I don’t know what he offers (will probably have a stormer in the 2nd half).
We look so weak at the back, it’s like they’ve never played together.
Defenders all over the place again, not doing the basics, but the ball is coming at them over and over again. No attacking shape or ideas, play breaks down when it reaches the wing-backs every time. Other than the first 5 minutes, it's basically been Stoke away, at home.
Questions already being asked about ESI and the transfer window. Smith needs to show he has got enough to make a positive difference to what we already had - big 45 mins for him
46' An early effort for Smith as the ball drops to him on the edge of the box. His volley deflects towards goal for the keeper to collect.
