Sometimes I fucking hate Stoke fans I enjoy your positivity on this board but after today I think people have a right to voice they're concerns, and unfortunately your comment above is as poor as what we have to suffer off the likes of carp/benji etc...

People embarrassing themselves and Stoke City supporters tonight. Can't handle a poor display or defeat. Pretty pathetic. Pity you never had the same attitude with your mate in charge

Leicester's defence has been so bad this season Ranieri has bought them pizza whenever they've kept a clean sheet. I didn't see many singing his praises when he and Wes Morgan let Walters in to score in the reverse fixture? The Leicester defence that has only conceded 1 less than us and is the 7th best in the league. Would you say that is BAD?

We could've won 3-0 today and fans would beg for his return.

Wollschied has turned out to be a good centre half after a dodgy start but I'm still of the the opinion that Huth should have been kept and his performance today proved he's still a top level centre half.We've moved on now though but I thought it was great to hear our fans singing massive German youth again before the game kicked off,showed how much proper fans thought of his time at the Brit.

Hughes has done excellently but this was a big mistake in most people's eyes as he would have been a natural stopper, in Shawcross' absence, which is so essential in this high tempo league. Whilst I could understand Hughes' thinking to change our style which perhaps Robert was less suited, I never felt that he was that bad on the ball anyway, whilst we would have retained the venomous threat at set pieces that we have lost in both penalty areas.
This is not being wise after the event as it was pretty obvious beforehand that he should have been retained, particularly when we have the doubtful (in many respects) replacements in the form of the sicknote that is Muniesa, the ponderous Wilson, and the hit and miss Cameron? Wollscheid on the other hand has been a big success.

I don't think we miss Huth defensively at all. We miss him offensively with set pieces, that's the only way in which we've not replaced him. Though sating that we are so crap at set pieces now that we could be sat here saying the same if he was still here.

To be fair we should have been honoured to be on the same pitch today with a top of the league side crammed full of top top players managed by a triffic manager. Today was definitely a bonus game so no harm done.

Personally I think letting Steino go to Chelsea was a disaster too. He'd have bagged a few today.
Same with Fuller.
And Etherington when he was on form.
Sheron might have done well too.
Cranson and Overson wouldn't have stood for this crap either!
The 'Shouldn't have sol Huth' brigade need to start banging another drum!

You have to ask though that if the captains back hadn't gone into a spasm and Wilson didn't need to get on the pitch..
Would this thread have even existed ?
I suppose as things panned out it was the perfect scenario for the "we should never have sold Huth " brigade to come out of their 4 month hibernation.

Yeah we have had a nightmare with the whole Huth thing, to pretend anything else is delusional, guess we will need to wait for the autobiographies for the real story.

Quite possibly the biggest footballing mistake this club has ever made was getting rid of Robert Huth. Dangerous during set pieces and an even better CB. And to add, we still, after 20 odd games have not scored from a fucking corner, THE ONLY FUCKING TEAM IN THE PREM! Letting a player go who would have spent the majority of the last two years on the bench as a squad player is possibly the biggest footballing mistake this club has ever made????!!! How I wish it was so!!!

Huth is a physical presence and he can help with offence, but he was never good on the ball and was always torn apart by small nippy wingers. He would have been useful today though with the Shawcross injury.

I'm gutted we lost Huth but Wolly looks the real deal and he's much younger. If Huth wnted first time football he's been such a great servant to us that he deserved his chance imo.

Was talking to someone in a boozer yesterday and the subject of Huth came up. The guy I was talking to had a family connection in the heart of the club. Apparently there was an "incident" precipitating Huth's departure from the club. This was as much as he knew.

Why cant people simply accept that the manager simply didn't want two absolute stoppers at the heart of his defence? That means huth was going to be on the bench playing back up to Ryan, but huth wanted to play. So well respected was huth around the club, that we let him leave for regular football. Why do people have to make up bullshit stories. He's a super player but he's gone and we've improved in the process.

What a big mistake getting rid of Huth was. There is no one to organise the back four when Ryan is off the pitch. Wolly only ever looks reasonably safe when Ryan is on but always worries me. I still don't understand why we bought him after his performance on his loan. Wilson is way out of his depth now so we should get him off the wages. Munie is very injury prone so cannot be relied on. We need another top quality centre back in this window even if Ryan's injury is short term. If it's long term without one we will end up in the lower half of the Prem after so much promise. Some will say Wolly has some really good games but if you are looking to improve the quality of team up front we need to secure the back first. If you feel this strongly about us letting Huth leave, and clearly you do,why wait til now to express your concerns ? Why not after the Man City or Man Utd games ?Or even last weekend? Or after any of the many clean sheets ? If you read my original post I was bemoaning the loss of a solid defender who could lead if Ryan was not playing. Wolly performs well along side Ryan as Ryan reads his game and covers if there is a problem. Without Ryan beside him, his frailty and faults shine through. Huth has gone, I understand that. I was merely trying to say that despite all Sparky's wonderful work, another quality center back who can lead seems to be a bit of a blind spot to him. Wolly is not the answer, Wilson is out of his depth and Muni is injury prone. The reason I have not posted before on this subject, is because I have to be really upset or really happy to post. Then I sit back and wait for the girls to start throwing their handbags around and getting upset instead of having an adult, grown up conversation. Anyone would think that most of you are a bunch of teenage, spotty herbert's with to many hormones as they have not managed to get their leg over yet! It would be nice if someone started a board just for the adults to chat on!

Also throw in the fact that we have a much better defensive record since Huths departure and things aren't as bad as they're made out to be. Having Robert Huth on our books still wouldn't make any difference whatsoever to our inconsistencies and people are purposely blind to the facts so it gives them a stick to beat Hughes and the club with every time we get a negative result. Embarrassing.

Dead right, step forward Mark Hughes !

It's obvious huthy still wants to be here, he tried to bend that freekick around the perimeter of the berlin wall on purpose.
He felt sorry for us.
Great defender sadly missed.
