Stoke City v Blackpool Official Matchday Thread 06.08.22

@seanmcsport


22' Madine not happy with Michael Appleton as he comes off but eventually shakes the manager's hand. Stoke somehow miss about four attempts at goal in the Blackpool box. This is very poor so far (0-0)
 
Quelle surprise, another ** injury, getting sick and tired of this now. Oh well, Yates in the middle,

Terrible defending there, should be 1 down
 
Watching on TTV. Did not like that attitude from Madine, out of order.
 
I think so - not happy was he?
Probably frustration because he knows it's a bad injury.

We aren't playing well at the moment and keep giving the ball away. Look I said half an hour but make that half time and go again second half. I'd take a point now!!

I think he should have played Dougall and Fiorini in the 8 for Carey or Virtue.

Appleton wasn't on the same wavelength. Madine went done second time to get the ref to blow up when SC were attacking.
 
Need more hustle from Carey and Virtue. Neither impress me tbh, they seem to have picked up where they left off last week and pretty anonymous. A bold move would be Carey and Virtue off for Fiorini and Dougall at half time but can’t see it happening.
 
Can't argue with being behind here, the midfield 3 just aren't competing. A good test for Appleton to try and turn this around.
 
Pretty shite so far, on the ball and in defence.

Great chance to score and the ball across just has to hit Yates but a poor ball.

Weak for their goal.
 
I think Madine has a bad injury and could be out for some time, which means we have to get a new striker in. We still also need an experienced midfielder who can take control in the middle of the park. Fiorini isn't that player, he needs to be playing further forward. I hope in the second half we see Virtue and Carey off and Patino and Dougall on, We need to stop ** about with a right back too and get someone in pdq
