@Dave50525946 @Bunnyduckmag @PotterTom__ I hope they get moves to a higher level but in a daft football world I wouldn’t be surprised if a wolves/Burnley offered the best financials to club/player. Hopefully they both go the World Cup and do well along with Junho and we get max value for all

@gazproc_6 @Bunnyduckmag @PotterTom__ I don’t see either leaving for a club in the same division

If we offered 12mil for one of Sorba or Vik. Who would you rather sell?

@Bunnyduckmag @PotterTom__ I think they both go in the summer and can see them both ending up at Wolves

@PotterTom__ Vik. Can get a decent keeper for far less than we could replace Sorbas goals and assists

@northstokie infrastructure of the boardroom or lack of is ridiculous, we’ve spent over a billion pound since Rudge left and we still haven’t realised we haven’t got an experienced brain contributing

@gazproc_6 He's too arrogant. I think I'm right in thinking we don't have an actual CEO which in this day and age for a multi million company is completely mental

I doubt Pep could get a tune out of our squad which even with injured players back is severely lacking in key areas - our big signings in January both look woeful, one of which we may well be forced to pay £4.5m for. If it was Ricky Martin at the helm he'd have been long gone...

@northstokie I’m not sure getting rid of Walters is the answer as Coates is incapable of spending his money wisely and hiring the right man to run the club. Our best hope is Walters realises he’s failing to deliver and brings in experience around him

@gazproc_6 Can't see Coates being brave enough to get rid of Walters, so on we go....

@Dave50525946 @Bunnyduckmag My biggest concern is what business we do in the summer, anybody who’s watched enough of us, knows how unsuccessful our recruitment has been the last 4 windows and the Jan window leaves zero encouragement it’s improving

@Bunnyduckmag Same. Whoever left us in this position with that keeper and that absolutely woeful centre forward should be sacked before they arrive at work on Monday

A team without identity or styleof play. Currently losing easily to a team in turmoil. Forget the ref, this has been utter shite so far after 10 minutes. Started thinking the manager doesn't know what he's doing when he moves Sorba into a defensive position with a rb on the bench

@jtwknowles @Dave50525946 The more I watch it back I think, would Vik of got something on it? I think so. Watching it live I thought fair play thats the guy that scored a few screamers already this year

@Dave50525946 I'm definitely not saying I wanted/expected applause. I must have had a great angle for it - one of those I gasped at! I think even if Simkin got a touch to it, it would have still gone in. Remarkable movement on the ball.

Do you remember back in the day home supporters would occasionally applaud a great goal from the opposition? This was one deserving of that - incredible hit. Another great connection a few minutes later from the lad too 😂

@Dave50525946 @caribbeanpotter Tv replays don’t do it justice in my opinion. From sitting in the boothen looking straight on I don’t hold it against Simkin and I’m one of his biggest critics/petrified of his every next move

@caribbeanpotter What was their goal like? Should he have saved it? Looks like it’s gone straight through him again ?

We found a way to win & played okay both halves. 2 rarities: a Milly right footer & a Gally goal. Rigo MoM for me, starting to look the part. Defensively still dodgy, but nothing the return of Lawal, Wilmot & Vik (& a new LB) shouldn't fix. Much better than many recent games.

@JonnyPotter87 The touches for all 3 goals have been millimetre perfect and the utilisation of both feet

Zinedine Zidane and Dennis Bergkamp would be proud of that.

That’s one of the best individual goals that I’ve ever seen. Federico Valverde is a genius! 🤯

@northstokie Cruciate for us out for over a year, Achilles rupture for Sheff U been out for 18 months. Massive shame for the big man but a risk we can’t afford sadly

@gazproc_6 He's coming off the back of a bad one for sure, was pretty reliable for us from memory although didn't he do good ACL too? Maybe not, then 😁

Was thinking about CBs for next season - I wonder if Souttar is an option for us? Him next to Williams (who I think we'll try to get permanently) would be a cracking pairing in front of a fit again Vik

@PulisvsBojan My biggest concern moving forward. 4 windows under the current leadership, apart from the goalkeeper I’m not sure one position in the team is better than what we already had. We’ve spent good money on players who can’t even hold down a starting place

Absolutely terrified about next season already. Tasking the lads who spunked £5m on the Dutch Rikki Dadason with another full rebuild has the whiff of a generational balls-up about it.

@Dave50525946 @PotterTom__ Hackney should of been in the prem this year. He’s more than ready however even without him all of their midfield have legs and desire to twice a week for 90 mins. If the pre requisite of signings this summer isn’t running power and durability then we really are clueless

@PotterTom__ He’s everything Junho isn’t!

Hayden Hackney is some player.

@stokie_stace I say the club but to bring it to life, 13 years on and over a billion spent on players wages/fees. We haven’t replaced John Rudge. We haven’t hired anyone to sit around the board table who can actually contribute based on experience

@stokie_stace The strategy to push on after reaching ‘relative’ high points stunk. The club believes their own bullshit thinking they’re mint, complacency kicks in and the transfers emphasise those mentalities and behaviours

2 questions as a Stoke fan that I'll always wonder but never get the answers to; 1. What happened the night of the semi final at Anfield - things were never the same since 2. What happened this season after Cov (H) in the league - we've been shit since and it isn't just injuries

@northstokie I’m convinced Robins is just as fuming as us and that contract renewal was hush money to get him stick with the ‘long term’ plan rather than signing players who can contribute in Jan.

I want him to stay as manager and genuinely think he's one of the best at this level. There should definitely be some serious questions heading Walters' way though given his record since coming in

@Dave50525946 @BBCStokeSport Why are we the worst team in the league defending corners? Why are we spending money on players that aren’t starting?

@BBCStokeSport I might be wrong but we’ve picked up 20 points from 23 games. Is there any reason why you aren’t asking some proper questions post match? What is the point of your coverage?

Stoke have the joint fewest goals conceded in the league but the joint highest conceded from set pieces. A 3rd of our goals are conceded from set pieces. We have Seko marking the top scorer in the league …. Is this being scrutinised the same as the in possession coach was

@caribbeanpotter @WillM_94 Why swap Wilmot and Maxi around when today is all about defending crosses as they flood the box

@WillM_94 In a world where we had last summer to bring in cover for Junior and January to get a starter whilst Junior took 2 months to recover from injury, and we did neither.

In what world would you play Maxi at RB against these….

@Bunnyduckmag @northstokie @caribbeanpotter He’s a head the ball/ block the shot CB. I’m baffled he’s put Wilmot back to CB and Maxi to RB when today was always going to be about defending crosses 🤯

@northstokie @caribbeanpotter In fairness, he's not a right back.

Maxi picking up where he left off midweek. Looks so unbelievably slow of mind and foot
