He’s been told to play high, he was out of position but Roberts should never have tried to win a ball he had no chance of winning. Any competent CB would have known that if they didn’t get to the ball first then a simple lay off would mean they are through on goal, which is exactly what happened.

We concede embarassing goals every week. We are in deep shit and no one seems to be realising it or even arsed.
Everytime stoke clear it aimlessly it nearly turns into a chance for them. Like at what point do we go lets keep it tight here lads n not all walk off up field.

Exactly this and then Sanderson just continues to jog away from the player with the ball for some strange reason.

Absolutely shocking and woeful performance so far……but hey we are progressing!!
If this form comtinues for the next 12 games we are in big trouble.
9 points from 39 and averaging two conceded goals per game.
The state of the back line there.
Just let it drop and have ago son.
Take some responsibility Sanderson ffs your the skipper!
The players' defensive position are baffling...the set piece deliveries are also abominable...
One of the worst halves I've seen us play in a decade which is saying something.
Can't wait until we bring on Juke and Burke who will accomplish nothing.
A lot dis ruddy but imagine how he feels with sanderson in front of him..
CastleBlueTaylorJay84Stoke who have been under a new manager for less than a week look absolutely comfortable compared to us.
Flat performance, absolute mess so far today.
A new manager has came in and played to their strengths?
It will never catch on.
Sadly we decided to employee somebody's mate as manager, never a good policy.
HT: poor, just very poor. defensively we've been a shamble, sloppy passing and no signs of the club coming back in the game. no sign of fight.

What a poor poor half of football.
Slow and laboured. Defensively a shambles and absolutely nothing going forward. We’re not even pressing.
