The vitriol and the bollocks spoken by many Stoke fans was embarrassing
Believe me there was a hell of a lot of Stoke fans ( loosely ) who were desperate for us to lose today
You know who you are

In what sense? I was spitting feathers tbh but what I was moaning about stands, we need some steel in midfield, a right back and a new front 3! Winning doesn't change any of that.

I was unaware of this today :/
But you're right, it really is embarrassing.
How people can sit there wanting our new manager to fail is kind of sad and we can do without that kind of support.
To all of you loyal supporters, let's behind our new man and our players and enjoy the season ahead.

To be losing at HT and win the game is fair enough

I agree about the front three, also we need a midfield player who doesn't treat the ball like a hot potato, but I thought Cameron did ok at right back |

I didn't hear anything of the sort myself but I did hear a lot of fans desperate for us to lose under Pulis for the best part of a decade.

The first half was dross - the poor performance was nowt to do with the manager it was the lack of tempo and continual mistakes.
The second half was better when the gaffer got them in but I wouldn't have been surprised if Hughes booed them off at HT.
I don't get the "time to gel" these players have been playing together for 3-4 years it's only about passing instead of booting it. And first half most of our lads couldn't pass it 4 yards - basics!
Desperate for some pace in the side; 3 new quality signings and we could be top half on 2nd half performance- 1st half religation fodder.

Why wait till half time? There were some wankers behind me in the Novus who booed Hughes when he came out and started shouting for Pulis.

A few moans about the game but not wanting to win? Nah. As much as people don't like hughes it makes no sense at all to want him to fail. For the good of the club is what is important and one bloke is not the club! |

I would have understood after the 1st half performance. But there were a section of fans who liked Pulis and wanted him to stay so you will get a bit of that but if they see an improvement that will fade away - if not then you can expect this for sometime. |

I think I will be giving up going at some stage because of this (i.e. those few morons left who supposedly follow Stoke - no other word is more applicable)
and those who booed (and there were a few) - should be put in a sack with a few bricks - sealed in there and chucked in the canal
as far as I am concerned -thats all I can say really
I mean - first half time in the first home match of the new season ?
and The shine has now very definitely worn off being in the premier league for me these-days
Perhaps such people with that mentality really will be happier back in the hovels they must surely come from, when we are finally relegated

To be fair there were a few last season hoping for a loss to speed up the departure of Mr Pulis so I wouldn't be surprised if the same was applied to hughes by a few. Dunna understand it myself but there you go.  |

We are 3 forwards, a fit Wilson Palacios (or a new signing) and a right back away from being a very decent side. Someone asked me what the positives were at half time and my response was "I quite like the Championship". |

Hmmmmmmmmm H It's not just 'at the match' though is it? I don't know how anyone can get their fanny in a twist about any anti manager sentiment yesterday (I heard none) after the bollocks they aimed at the previous incumbent for 10 years. I saw some disappointment at half time but it was hardly Bescotesque, 'you don't know what you're doing' fuckwittery was it? |

The vitriol and the bollocks spoken by many Stoke fans was embarrassing Believe me there was a hell of a lot of Stoke fans ( loosely ) who were desperate for us to lose today You know who you are I have to be honest Fish I was one of those who was moaning my bag off at half time, mainly about Mr Shawcross unusually inept first half performance and how the team haven't got a clue which formation or system that they were trying to play for the first 45 minutes, any decent team of a better calibre than championship Palace would have had that game done and dusted by half time and put a woeful Stoke to the sword with the game out of sight, now although I was moaning I certainly don't want to see Stoke lose or Hughes to Fail in fact it is the exact opposite as why I was moaning, I want to enjoy my Saturday afternoon feeling elated that we are winning and being successful, unfortunately though judging by the first half performance I have to admit as that looked highly unlikely whilst chatting(moaning) at the half time break. I personally hear more bollox from the deluded fuckwits that think we have suddenly turned in to Brazil since the change of playing style and some of the threads and comments on here highlight the embarrassing deluded fuckwittery of the Oatcake massive...... |

He won't have anywhere near the crap that Pulis got when he came back. But in spite of it Pulis delivered promotion, FA Cup Dinal, Europe etc. I think there is some underlying nervousness. We are all worried that the change won't work; imagine if our Prem experience was five years of largely rustrating football and then a nose dive back to nowhere as soon as we try to change.
I won't boo him, he wouldn't hear me from here anyway. He is going to succeed anyway, teething problems are a necessary part of success.

I didn't hear any out and out vitriol but there was a lot of frowning going on.
The common feeling was that we're too slow to play pass and move (at the moment without better, quicker signings), Ryan was having an absolute shocker and Crouchy should have scored the second of his headers.
...
I think the biggest measure of our shortcomings yesterday was our inability to 'pass it about' or control the game once we had taken the lead. The composure of the first 10/15 minutes when we knocked it about (arguably, a bit too much) was suddenly nowhere to be seen when we needed it most.
I was no lover of Pulisball but Hughes might feel more inclined to play the second half way until we get the much needed better players.

I saw and heard a few clap and cheer when Palace fans chanted "Hughes Out".
Sad individuals as were those booing at half time.
We started the game well and lost the plot when they scored, looking like they were caught between two schools. They needed backing at that point, not booing.
We are going through a transitional period and it will take a bit of time. Second half we were much better and although without pace, played at a much higher tempo and much further up the pitch.

There was a definite edge to a small number of fans at the game yesterday. It started to show more after Palace's goal. One or two trying to start the boo's off (before the half booing)
I loved TP (still do), and i wish him well in whatever he does in the future, but some people need to man the fuck up. He's gone!! We've got a new man in charge, with new ideas, who needs the support of the fans. If you came to the match yesterday, and even the slightest part of you wanted us to lose, so you could tell the rest of us to "be careful what you wish for" then you need to have a word with yourself.
Hughes may fail, who knows? but seriously what good are you doing for your football club, by not giving him a chance?

The composure of the first 10/15 minutes when we knocked it about (arguably, a bit too much) was suddenly nowhere to be seen when we needed it most. That's not the way I saw it. I was quite encouraged that after we took the lead we did not sit back and we looked like we were still going for the third goal. And we certainly didn't retreat to edge of our penalty area for the last 15 minutes like we would have done in the past. |

Fair comment, Chester - I, too, liked the fact we didn't park the bus and continued to press for a third.
It's just that on a few occasions we dwelt on the ball, lost possession and didn't use the available space to retain the ball - moving the ball about then would have been of more value than the passing for passing's sake in the first 10/15...

The problem is that we are left with a Tony Pulis squad. You cannot turn a sow,s ear into a silk purse overnight.It will take time. Mark Hughes has to be given the backing of the board, to get the right players in. Like it or like it not, there was a lot of waste under Pulis!
