MATCHWATCH : Stoke City (a)

[Westwood52]

Same old,same old.

[Snowflake Royal]

I was just about to post that this is nailed on for a last minute Stoke winner when I saw the goal posts.

Absolute shambles of play in the last 5 / 10 mins. Team has no idea on game management.

[Brogue]

Going to be a long season. Holmes now on as a striker

[windermereROYAL]

So are Luton dark horses this season or are Peterborough shit?

Obviously after one game.

[Zip]

That’s game done. Very disappointing not to have seen it out.

[Simmops]

You can’t keep this reading side down!

Top shelf Pauno

Pauno IN

PAUNO OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

3-0 is a big scoreline though so it is an early indicator.

[Jackson Corner]

Lucky deflection. Stokes first opening day win in 12 years.

[windermereROYAL]

He was always going to score wasn`t he.

[genome]

3-2 down, 5 minutes to go, take off a striker and bring on a defender

Classic Pauno sub

are you now Pauno OUT?

[Snowflake Royal]

Agreed. They must be drinking/smoking something very strong. If they want to go for the culprits they should be targeting the EFL for leaving us in a situation where we can only realistically name 5 subs.

Yes it’s the EFL’s fault we broke the rules.

It's the EFL's fault for creating ridiculous rules and then sitting on the fence and not giving us any proper form of definitive decision/ruling. It's the EFL's fault that the application of the rules and consequential sanctions appears to be so inconsistent.

And our current situation very certainly isn't the manager's fault which was the main point being made.

It's our fault for overspending for nigh on a decade and doing the bare minimum to get wages down.

It's our fault for giving cup and league debuts to players we didn't want as part of our senior squad knowing the financial position we were in and the rules around them.

It's our fault for handing out long contracts to punts we decide we don't want, can't get rid of and refuse to use.

Auto post - Bowen would get pelters for that.

Grow up.

[leon]

I genuinely enjoy the summer because there’s no league football.

[super darren caskey]

Puscas is the Romanian Sam Baldock. Just runs around a bit and not much else. Hoped we would have offloaded him.

Would rather see McNulty

[Brogue]

FT ffs

Maybe, but as has been pointed out by others, effectively forcing clubs to release their most valuable assets for pretty much bugger all, thus significantly worsening their financial situation, demonstrates the stupidity of the current EFL approach to FFP. And can the EFL really be excused for sitting on the fence, not reaching/communicating decisions/punishments and leaving clubs in a dangerous damaging limbo?

[Gunny Fishcake]

At least no false hope this season with a flying start, same old , same old

I think the men’s game is too complicated for you. You should stick to the women’s’ game…
