I tweet about football or education. Stoke City obsessed, maths-loving assistant headteacher of a midlands secondary school.

@Cadwalladered Brilliant - thanks.

@PeteSmith1983 Bae Junho and Smit came on at the same time. One touched the ball twice. One instantly looked our best player. Both 6/10?!? How?

[Chris Hawthorne @ChrisHawth]

@dcooke1989 Ref gave it. Looked at the linesman a couple of times so presumably asked him if he was offside before he said he interfered then. Watch it back - it was silly from Bozenik.

[Chris Hawthorne @ChrisHawth]

@dcooke1989 Bozenik. Stood a yard offside and blocked their defender. Ref explained it to Sorba straight away

[Chris Hawthorne @ChrisHawth]

@dcooke1989 He didn’t give it against Sorba

[Chris Hawthorne @ChrisHawth]

@Rhigallimorexo Absolutely criminal pricing by the way. £25 for a little kid!

[Chris Hawthorne @ChrisHawth]

@bayernoatcake2 Morris was clever and yanked his arm to move him to the other side of him. Watch it again. VAR may intervene but ref wouldn’t have spotted it. Like Robins said, Lawal gets caught under the ball (only happened once) but Junior must stop the cross.

@stokecity @grok has any Championship side ever signed a World Cup winner?

[Chris Hawthorne @ChrisHawth]

Hey @grok who was the most famous person to visit my profile? It doesn't need to be a mutual, don't tag them, just say who it was.

[Chris Hawthorne @ChrisHawth]

@Rhigallimorexo This decision would have been correct if VAR was allowed to be used?!? It was the ref that caused the issue.

Anyone at all selling Derby tickets ?

[Chris Hawthorne @ChrisHawth]

@stokie_stace Easy to point the finger at Junho and Manhoef today (and they weren’t good so won’t suggest they were) but Pearson/Baker couldn’t run. So Bae/Manhoef got sucked in to press their DMs allowing for overloads on the outside. Tactically out done and naive to not address tiredness.

[Chris Hawthorne @ChrisHawth]

@JonnyPotter87 Agreed. But you said 2-3 years.

[Chris Hawthorne @ChrisHawth]

@JonnyPotter87 That pair of full backs cost £20m

[Chris Hawthorne @ChrisHawth]

@JonnyPotter87 Also used as an excuse for championship managers saying that players are tired. But most teams play two games a week. Need to get on with it.

[Chris Hawthorne @ChrisHawth]

@dcooke1989 Aren’t all 3 injured? Agree that Esbrand doesn’t look great though.

[Chris Hawthorne @ChrisHawth]

@JonnyPotter87 There are not two Saturdays in a week. It’s a two game week.

[Chris Hawthorne @ChrisHawth]

@stokieadam Must be 352 with Moran wingback. Utterly bizarre.

[Chris Hawthorne @ChrisHawth]

@scfc_tickets website still not allowing me to pay for any tickets?!? Nothing happening when clicking ‘pay now’
