Stoke City fullback Moritz Bauer has seemingly fallen out of favour with manager Gary Rowett of late.
Having started the season at right-back in our opening two games of the 2018/19 Championship campaign, the 26-year-old has found game time limited since then featuring as only a substitute in the league, although he did take in this weeks midweek clash with Sunderland in the EFL Trophy.

With defensive issues given our start to the year so far following on from relegation last term, it’s understandable as to why Rowett had made changes, but it seems a number of fans don’t believe he’s called this one right as Bauer has quickly established himself as a fan favourite following his arrival from Rubin last January.

Whilst the reactions are by no means 100% in his favour, he does have his critics, it appears the vast majority of those who took the time to respond to his initial post that indicated his current frustration are rooting for him.
