Exiles thread - Stoke FA-cup (A)

[RedDwarf 1881]

We've had a number of chances or half-chances and wasted all of them.

Away from home that's nothing new .

[Orient_Man_And_Boy]

Ooohh? Looked like handball by their right back.

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Haven’t actually seen us play since about the 3rd game or the season and only watched half hour of this, but we look quite good. Lots of pressing and hard work too

[Rich Tea Wellin]

Anywhere else on the pitch and that high boot is a free kick.
All over them

[essexfootball]

That's a pen, the one earlier wasn't

[Orient_Man_And_Boy]

How many chances ??!!

[Ronnie Hotdogs]

Nah, Pratleys head was low.

[corkeireorient]

2-0

[Real Al]

My head's low now

[RedDwarf 1881]

Game over .

[Ronnie Hotdogs]

Good to see that masks weren’t necessary for this game, by the way.

[gshaw]

Stoke done their homework, two goals down the same side that's missing a RB.

Still if our strikers have to have an off day I'd rather it be today than in the league.

[RedDwarf 1881]

With any luck we'll have one or two new signings in place for our trap to Oldham next Saturday .

They didn’t target our right hand side at all.

I agree but they've previously had off days in the league

[cymruO]

What is it about playing away and missing sitters? Next Saturday we're away at Oldham - I'm already nervous.

Apart from the two goals I'd make you totally correct

[Stan1972]

End of the day they took there chances we didn’t.
Good to see Smyth get 90 minutes, thought he looked sharp, hope he gets a run of games injury free

Yes, we've been very wasteful away form home and its frustrating because we should be much higher than 10th.

It's the difference between League Two players and Championship players.

Either way, from what I saw, we put up a decent fight against a team 2 divisions higher. Well done lads.

[BoniO]

Very good performance overall except for the strikers. Drinan, in particular had a mare today. Plus we do need a replacement right back asap. Clay out of his depth today. Oh well, time to concentrate on the league.

[EssexO]

Same old story, when will fans and players of this club realise that just creating chances is not good enough? Very weak minded mentality. 3-4 signings needed otherwise the season will be over very quickly. But hey, at least we are top of the xG table

[MrB]

Drianian and Smith must be the only goalscorers that have 12 each but you'd have no actual confidence in them taking a chance

[George M]

They are not necessary for any game.

[Jack]

WE were robbed of a pen or two today. Both shouts were the type of pens that teams get , but the ref didnt want to know. If only Stoke had VAR
