    Cheers for the advantage there ref
  • We've collapsed. But this ref is appalling

    This is literally the most unenjoyable half of football I can ever remember.

    Horrific on every level.

    Just need a red card now 
    Didn't watch the Southampton 5-1?
    This is worse imo. At least Southampton were good that day.

    How the hell had Leaburn got booked there when Stoke's striker full smashed into Jones deliberately and got nothing

    I don't think NJ should do a post match interview cos he will get a season ban with his opinion of this ref.

    Jones has got his full-time blast at the referee sorted anyway. 
    We'll ignore the disruptive line-up changes and poor handling of players newly entering the squad. 
    We'll ignore the impressive start before the penalty then... The concern here is how the players have reacted to the penalty

    An impressive 10 minutes turning into a 4-0 loss by half-time is not the result of one penalty. Stoke sat back for ten minutes, saw what we could offer, got a penalty and then ripped us apart.

    Shit days happen. Jones has to be the most chronic overthinker in world football

    Totally Jones’ fault. Made too many changes without having long enough for the players to know what they’re doing. Ouma not good enough and jones has thrown him under the bus! Bad day but hopefully we’ll learn. Maybe!!
  • Hopefully people now realise JRC is definitely not our best midfielder 
  • This is back to the worst games of last season. Absolute shite

    Referee has capitulated to the Stroke players / fan protests after that foul he gave on Mesik

    What did he actually give the pen for? No one around me seems to know.

    Ouma and Stoke player hugging and tussling, Ouma ended up dumping the stoke boy to the ground and pen.

    The sort of stuff you see all the time from corners and rarely see given.
    Normally it’s tussling and 50/50 but in my opinion Ouma was all over him, dragged him down. Am I the only one who isn’t shocked it was given?

    The olés have begun
  • Midfield 3 of JRC, Ouma and skipp is absolute suicide.

    Massive wake up call that we have to compete at our very best every game, we can’t just turn up and expect to turn teams over. Midfield is still our biggest issue, not sure we’ve really sorted it.
    A lot of us thought that.  I could not understand why all the focus was on getting a right winger, and we did not even do that.

    I think it was really clever from the Stoke player, he dips his head down on purpose and Ouma should just let go but doesn't

    We signed a youth player from Wimbledon who couldn't even make the bench today, please keep up!!!

    Really does seem like a Millwall game. 

    Gave obviously over, but ref has been a cunt and is still being one. 

    Another pen and/or a red in the second half?
  • For the life of me,I just cannot understand playing a complete new midfield,with players none of whom have started a game this season.Ref could not wait to give that penalty,you see those situations 10 times a game.I know players get tired after playing games quickly but play the best team,and make the changes when they need to be made.How can you leave Coventry out after the way he has been playing.So much wrong with today.

    The Ouma pile on here is a joke.

    it wasn’t a penalty and the clearance was unlucky. 9/10 that passes Grant and is away.

    Why aren’t people slaughtering Bindon for the 3rd goal? 

    Ouma had a tough start at Tottenham and people have made their minds up and want to ruin him.
    Agree. It’s pretty painful to read. Not saying he is playing great but nowhere near as bad as some of these comments.

    There’s a whole number of poor 30 min performances out there. 

    The thing is, he has genuinely been terrible in an awful half, it's not a TC  "fluffed one chance now he's shit" style pile on, he has been shocking from the off and stood out for all the wrong reasons - he's going to bare the brunt of it.

    Not his fault, it's clear he isn't up to speed with the league yet, madness from Jones to start him - even more so alongside a debutant in a "new" midfield.
