Here are a few comments I've compiled from the Stoke Forum throughout the game. Always love reading these: Their energy and movement is ridiculous Our midfield being overrun by Barnsleys pace and energy .. We are giving their midfielders so much room, they are all over us when we have it We don't really have an answer for this high press apart from to go long, just nobody there. Our two CMs are getting the run around, we need to sort that. Feel it's only a matter of time until they get a 2nd,look better than us going forward We are still in this, Barnsley are a very good team, their energy is second to none. They will be top 10 for the rest of the season, a draw would be good now. They are not allowing us to settle on the ball. I’ve seen Barnsley play a few times of late and this is by far the worst they’ve been and they’re still fuckin winning Those Barnsley subs aren't half a pair of big units!!! Cut them some slack, Barnsley not giving them an inch. They’ll have one chance and they need to take it. Barnsley must be ******* pissing themselves laughing that they got money for a new toilet block off the sale of Jacob brown Barnsley have had 5 forward players on the pitch so far with the subs… All 5 have been miles better than either Vokes or Brown and then some look at little old poverty stricken Barnsley - new FOREIGN manager who no one on here has ever heard of - transformation. Looking at 6 wins on the bounce. Time to get real. 2-0 flatters Barnsley, they’ve been every bit as **** as us.
I had a nosey on there last night, a mixed bag of quite respectful comments and sour grapes. We were miles better than them, hence the comfortable 2-0 win.
Understandably disappointed that their expensive squad failed to take advantage of a chance for a play off place. Tbf, nothing could be done about the first goal but they created nothing themselves.
My personal favourite: Over the last 2 years we have given barnsley millions for players whom would not get anywhere near their current squad. Who the f*!k is doing our scouting?
This for me too. And then you look at the millions Chansiri has spunked away down at S6 too. Fupping hilarious.
They aren't fond of Jacob are they, jesus. Somebody said " Brown is fast though" then one person said " My greyhound is fast but can't play football either "
The commentator reminded me last night of the shambles that happened last time we played Stoke at home - basically gift wrapping them four goals. It shows how far we've come.
They don't understand our sentimental attachment to the West Stand bogs. Replacing them would be like replacing your Grandma.
I honestly think that we’ve been found out, other teams know what to expect when they play us, organise themselves accordingly, and still can’t cope. It’s brilliant!
That game when we lost 2-4 was the earliest I've ever left a football match, that traumatized I was I left with 20 minutes to go at 1-4 and made it home for the full time results. The wife nearly fell off the settee she thought we'd got burglars
