Elliot Yates

Richard and Royston 🔥 Top gig with the old man @daveyates @richardashcroft @TheRoystonClub

Yeah you either hate football or are just genuinely clueless on this bloke cause just look at him. As a footballer he’s everything we should love and champion about the beautiful game.

@johnsharrock71 @StokieCooper_ Gallagher & Bazunu yes, arguably Lawal. But Vik, Tchamadeu, Baker, Boz, Rigo have never really been injured in their careers and are all out. Their injury records have all been very good, the majority are definitely not injury prone.

@ElliotYates_ @StokieCooper_ We have too many injury prone players. We need robust players.

Why does our fanbase call for a managers head whenever we’re on a poor run Have the last 6 times not taught you anything? Chopping and changing managers DOES NOT WORK He’s given us our best start in a decade, yes we’ve dwindled off but he needs time to keep building

@ZeLuSah @StokieCooper_ It’s more just the frustration from years in the division showing when we don’t have a good spell.

@ElliotYates_ @StokieCooper_ I don’t see why there is a sudden meltdown, it takes a couple of seasons for a proper rebuild and this season looked like we have made massive moves forwards.. next season top 6 is realistic. Just look at Coventry over the years.. took them seasons to progress with MR

@Marksism__ His football IQ is very good imo. He always comes deep to collect the ball from defence and give it to midfield to start attacks. Was only Joe Allen who did that for us before him. So we can start attacks easier. But yeh I certainly wouldn’t put Seko in a fully fit team

@ElliotYates_ I mean Seko is just like Jordan Thompson. Can come in and play the odd game but he’s a recycler of the ball. Just a bench player really. Junho looks better because we’re finally playing him in his best position.

@Marksism__ Great analogy!! Sorba is certainly burning a lot of emission at the moment looks very tired. I’d slightly disagree with that simply because you look at players like Seko, JT, Bae, Wilmot and they’ve all improved under him. Even at Cov with Gyokeres, Hamer etc were all under him

@ElliotYates_ He might have good individual numbers but it’s like drilling for oil. Sure, you get energy but at the same time you’re killing the planet. I have no confidence that Robins can help players adjust their style through coaching given I’ve watched Sorba play the same style all year

@Marksism__ With all of them we were in a flow. Full backs progressed forward, midfield was solid and created chances (Baker, Junho). Sorba was up there for chances created and still is mainly from his start which showed we were dangerous. Injuries to certain players killed that.

@Marksism__ Injuries have completely changed the way we play. Maxi isn’t JT so you lose that overlapping threat from right, you lose midfield balance and creativity with Baker. And Vik injured means the team sits back more to protect Simkin.

@jim_windsor Was beginning to think I was the only one with this view tbh 🤣. I think most fans are pretty smart but just showing frustrations for the years of us being in this division. Which I get, but they’re all emotional reactions not rational responses. Need more rational thinking.

@ElliotYates_ Careful mate you’re not allowed to talk any sense on here.

@Rhigallimorexo Hull have also lost their last 3 games so it’s affecting them. We lose the way we used to play with no RB Maxi short term was ok for AFCON but not sustainable, Bazunu very unlucky. Baker, Tchamadeu, Vik are all catastrophic losses who completely change the way we play and perform

@ElliotYates_ Injuries as us probs more and they’re 5th!

@Rhigallimorexo 4 is enough if they’re really key. Baker won 9/12 with him Cov game injured that started the downfall. JT changes the way we play completely as a natural RB, Vik saves us 10 points a season, now we have a child in goal, even Boz looked like he was finding his feet until injury

@ElliotYates_ I can think of 3 maybe 4 key injuries but like I said our downfall started before 3 of them were injured. I don’t think he will be tbh, I personally think he’s lost the plot. I agree tho I don’t think changing the manager will do anything and I don’t even know who we’d bring in

@Rhigallimorexo A fully us has been brilliant. 9 injuries to so many key players is a killer. He’s not the guy who will get us to the PL but he’s the person who will put in those foundations for the next man to come in. But that type of manager won’t want to come if we don’t give managers time.

@ElliotYates_ I get your point but also think Robin gets so much leeway compared to previous managers. Some of his tatics are beyond questionable. Injuries is an excuse now considering we’ve picked up 17 points from 54 available since that Cov game in November

On this day in 2008 🗓️ Stoke signed Ryan Shawcross! 👉 Cost £1 million 👉 Made 453 appearances 👉 25 goals 👉 1 promotion 👉 Most appearances for Stoke in the Premier League Is he Stoke’s greatest signing of this century?
