Re: Stoke City v Leeds Utd Match Thread - Gruev starts as Farke makes three changes
Lessons to learn:
- Summerville must start
- Piroe must stay on if we need a goal
- Sitting back doesn't work
- No Bamfraud on the pitch, unless we're comfortably ahead

Very little change in the Ipswich starting lineup from game to game. Some say they’ll fade but I don’t think they will. They win tight games too.
Think that’s the first top 6 side Stoke have beaten. Us

Well, Meslier plays as a third CB, we pass the ball to him more times than to our forwards. Why not give it to Mes?Boo Radley wrote: ↑Wed Oct 25, 2023 9:28 pm …… and Summerville didn’t put his hand up for the first five takers. Piroe being off the pitch took the obvious choice. Personally, I’d have given it to Meslier before Bamford.

I was going to mention that on Summerville. Apparently he went 9th because he had an injury - but still took a class penalty.Boo Radley wrote: ↑Wed Oct 25, 2023 9:28 pm …… and Summerville didn’t put his hand up for the first five takers.

The trouble with Bamford is his temperament
Not enough fire in his belly and, as I've always said, he thinks too slowly in front of goal
He is not a natural striker and tends to overthink it

I don't know why we struggle on corners so much. Teams always crowd Meslier. We can't deal withy it. Opposition players are so much quicker in the box than any of ours. It's been that way for a few years. I don't get how we always look so susceptible.1964white wrote: ↑Wed Oct 25, 2023 9:29 pm Have to agree with you there, Geronimo.
I said to my Mrs after the penalty miss, Stoke's tails will go up now & score an untidy goal to win it.
As soon as that corner was awarded, I knew that was the moment that things would get worse.
We deserved the defeat, hopefully we'll learn lessons from what was a disgraceful display.
We'll beat the terriers on Saturday.

Taking off Piroe when we brought on Jimmy and DJ was a major f**k up on Farke's part
Re: Stoke City v Leeds Utd Match Thread - Gruev starts as Farke makes three changes
Stoke beat Sunderland who were 6th at the time, now slipped down to 10th position.

Agreed, which is exactly why he shouldn't be taking penalty kicks.whiteinfrance wrote: ↑Wed Oct 25, 2023 9:35 pm The trouble with Bamford is his temperament

In Farke we trust...

Bamford taking a penalty. Almost like a cruel experiment. Like the golfer who shakes over a 3 foot putt. It’s a mental battle he can’t seem to win.

It's like a curse our inability to defend corners
Has been for many a year
Maybe Revie's fault ?

Farke post match said according to stats we deserved to win or draw. Did he watch the 1st half? We could have been 2 down.
