Match Thread Stoke City v. Sheffield United - 8th October 2022

[SB_90]

poor performance, as asaba was saying it confusing tactics we were playing it short to the front 3 when we had 40 yr jags they could have all easily outpaced & then brought on sharp stopped playing it short. but the issue cant be all on players. its new partnerships & new system. half that team is from reserves

we got to get a grip on injuries because it derailed last season & likely will derail this season. you cant be playing with players in your 2nd/3rd string if your wanting top 2. if it gets any worse we will be seeing the literal phrase of men v boys wouldnt surprise me if Egan struggled through as we had nobody else to replace him

You don’t have the amount of injuries he’s had regularly at different clubs without that being a consistent issue that will continue

I like hecky, but the injury thing does seem to be a recurring theme with him. Too much so to just be "bad luck"....

The only player to blame for Jags goal is Egan - he doesn't even try to jump to challenge him for the header - he just stayed flatfooted on the deck + tried to nudge him sideways , giving Jags a totally free header - I don't know what's wrong with Egan , is it the talk of a big transfer ?

Egan has seemed bit off in few games and he just got that hit moment before Jags goal.

Berge's injury nowt to do with Hecky, he was pulled down and injured by an opponent. He's out until December now but not the managers fault.

True, I meant more the amount of injuries rather than specific ones
