For Christ’s sake when you’ve got penalty specialist in the team you have them take it. End of. We’re hell bent on doing everything badly this season …
I didn't realise he was as good as he seems to be, 14 taken and 14 scored.
I have to say this is the first time I've felt like the only thing missing is a forward in our display that I can recall in our performance.
Its been a good performance, what's been missing is that movement and tighter linkup play from a striker (and a goal from the penalty would be good too).

need a winger who can cross smyth ok won pen but he’s never good enough this level sadly far too many others worse
Christ, this is like playing ourselves..... Stoke playing weird cagey tippy-tappy cautious stuff. I'd wager their manager and Cifuentes attended same coaching school....
But, they have seized upon and capitalised from Dunne's gift and we have huffed and puffed and ballsed up our own gilt-edged chance.
Opta stats will favour us but we simply lack the pace, power and incision to score and there's eff all on our bench to turn to.
Still, it's only 0-1 and 45mins to go. Stoke are unambitious and very content to invite us on to them. I do realise they want to draw us in and do us on the break but given we're losing we need to accept their invitation to attack and smash their back door in.........time for manager to tweak our shape and generate some pressure on their goal.
If celar cant hit the target from 6 yards out he sure as #### aint goint to from 12 yards out. awful signing alonbg with madsen, ashby. pleased varane is looking better....but in general we are shocking. best we can hope for is another penalty and a 1-1 draw. but lets face it.....its anothyer loss
Varane is looking like the real deal and not just better tbf
Reads the game well, has a touch of skill about him, can find a pass (when one is open).
I don't get why Sinton and whoever the other guy are saying he needs to pass it forward more, there doesn't appear to be a forward pass option that i've seen and has done well to find passes when he has.
Think the whole team wanted him to take the pen just to get a goal to give him a bit of confidence....team are attacking like never before.
So not too disheartened with that half.
Smyth reminds me of those players in Fifa that don't understand how the game engine works and think they are in a good shooting position but those chances go in like 1 in 100. He should hay laid that off with Saito and probably been able to play a 1-2 instead, but alas it wasn't to be.
