Stoke blasted for ‘showboating’

After Saturday’s dismal performance against Tamworth, Johan Boskamp has blasted his players for their ‘showboating’ during the game where Stoke managed 65% of the possession and still managed to come away with a goalless draw.

To be fair to Tamworth, their game plan was to play ten in the penalty area, kick the ball into touch at every opportunity and hope for some luck at the other end. It very nearly paid off.

After a tough Christmas fixture list, the players were hoping for three days off, but the Bos has insisted that they report for training instead ahead of this weekend’s game against Watford and the replay with Tamworth next week.
