But he doesn't compete. I get the feeling sometimes he expects to be given so much protection that he doesn't think he needs to bother doing anything but try to catch the ball. I think given the standard of officiating that's on display all the time at this level and again tonight, he's quite lucky that the ref hasn't given that foul as a 2nd Stoke goal so he has to try and compete more. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Redcar Rioja 5,872 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 63% possession but only 6 shots to Stoke's 5. We are not making it count where it matters. Link to post Share on other sites

Think he’s one of those that is capable of making worldie saves but then make individual errors like fapping at crosses etc. Hopefully he wins us more points then costs us over the season. All you can really ask of a keeper at end of the day. Link to post Share on other sites

Tbf Stoke are just sitting 10 men behind the ball so it’s hard to create real clear-cut chances. Link to post Share on other sites

It's like watching Joe Lumley when the ball is crossed. He's just flapping all oover. No presence or bravery. Link to post Share on other sites

Foxtrot Oscar Colin 607 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 We played some decent stuff at times there created a few chances but then suicidal defending costs us. Yes it was a foul but us losing possession past half way line should never end up with us with a 1 v 2 at the back one pass later! Where the *** was Bola he had no reason to be so far up the pitch there the break wasn't even on his side. Absolutely shocking discipline. A positive note mcgree much better in the 10 and watmore causing problems with his running and ball carrying is leading the line well so far. We're the better side just need to make it count second half. Comon Boro Link to post Share on other sites

TeaCider24 12,403 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 (edited) Been impressed by McGree tonight, might be the position that's the problem with him. Or it's just that Stoke are the worst team we've played. Link to post Share on other sites
