Gooch subbed on to participate in the dunking all over Boro, coming on in the 63rd up 3-0. Ends 5-0. Got to play against Aidan Morris for probably the first time, who subbed on in the 78th.
Gooch subbed on in the 67th minute at LWB in a 2-0 loss, despite going up a man in the first half. Had a shot and watched a potential assist from his cross get put over the top. Stoke also had a late penalty saved, hurting the comeback effort.
Wound up playing 85 minutes including a yellow card. Stoke manage a stoppage time winner for 1-0 over Sunderland for a big three points over better opposition.
Gooch starts again while Stoke suffer through an injury crisis. Got an early yellow. Looks like it will be a disappointing scoreless draw with last place Plymouth barring a stoppage time winner. Shots 17-2 in favor of Stoke, but they have to go in to count.
Gooch subs on against his longtime club Sunderland in the FA Cup. On in the 60th ... and they let Sunderland equalize in the 64th.
Goes to extra time, and Stoke come away with a 2-1 after a great solo effort by Ennis. Gooch had to do a lot of running as did most of Stoke, but they come away with one that may be just a little bit sweeter for Gooch, who as it turns out, was not Sunderland til he died.
