Need a big reaction in the second half then, something we've shown some capability to do. Got some firepower on the bench with Joao, Long and Azeez as well so it's not as if we are lacking goals on the bench either.

Ince to make subs at 85mins when we're 3-0 down.

They've had 12 efforts after 53 minutes... no surprise we have the worst away defence in the league.

FFS Ince I was joking.

Sounds like we've been nowhere near at it today, seems like a write off at this point.

Reading have let in 26 (incl. today) on the road so have the worst goals conceded record away from home - however both Rotherham and Huddersfield have worse overall records on their travels. What makes this worse is that Stoke have the worst home record in the division bar Wigan.

Dismal stuff. We have played teams in dire form in successive weeks and will pick up one point.

Terrible, I thought we’d get something here.

Oh well, Birmingham, Wigan and Bristol City all losing at home.

And Watford just equalised v Rotherham.

In a bit of a sticky spell ourselves to be fair, Watford and Sunderland will be tough games but after that, Rotherham (H), Cardiff (A) and Blackpool (H) so those are the games where we need to target a couple of wins for sure.

Yeah, when you're 2-0 down and beign battered, take off one of your best midfielders and bring on an old defender.

But wait until there's only 23mins left.

Tbf, it's very rare you'd make an unforced sub before 60 - 65 minutes and Stoke scored their second before then.

This is definitely one of the worst performances of the season. It's worrying how distracted we seem to be by (I assume) the Utd game. Shows a lack of character.

I'd say being utterly outplayed and 2-0 down is being forced.

It's certainly not very rare to make subs at half time when you're losing and being outplayed.
