Yes and I look forward to the day we play with a man in the cage, lumping the ball forward totally missing out the 4 midfielders rayt up to a big brute of a center forward.....bang goal! In all fairness there are some good points but, I much prefer what we have to what we had! A cage, 6 centre halves, giants, and big lumps up front. Workhorses! Dreamy football. Hey them were the days...if only we could go back!

Light the blue touch paper and retire. Spidey where have you been? He has been busy posting under his regular username. Spiderman only comes out for special occasions. Well he's best go spin his web elsewhere.

No not bored
But disappointed as certain shortcomings, yes
For example our failure to address our criminal inability to score from dead ball situations just makes my blood boil
A corner for us has now been reduced to a scoring chance for the opposition team from the inevitable ensuing counter attack
These issues need to be taken care of without any further delay; there is no reason whatsoever not to

I'm just getting bored with trolls, attention-seekers and people posting absolute bollocks about lack of fight. I agree, admin need to sort it out Nothing more than a wind up merchant and ruins the board

He's a good manager but it's true, he doesn't have a plan B when losing or teams park the bus, but could be worse, could be Villa, Sunderland, Newcastle or West Brazil. Be grateful for where we are

With the Hughes style of football? All the tippy tappy sideways and backwards passing not much fight in the team when we go a goal down and not much idea against side who want to defend an play direct football. God forbid I wouldn't want Pulis back in nay shape or form or nay other manager with a similar philosophy about how football should be played. We have no idea how to score from set pieces, we have quality wingers who rarely cross the ball and strikers who don't score but get picked week in week out. We have journeymen players that are picked ahead of up and coming youngsters when we play cup games against lower league teams yet still we struggle and just about manage to scrape past them. Perhaps all the talk of Hughes deserving a bigger job has clouded his judgement somewhat. Bet you were one of them that wanted pulis out And NO

I'd rather shit in my hands and clap than go back to that boring sunday league standard football. I really don't look forward to the day everyone plays the same way, or "the right way" as its been called.

I don't get the 'no plan b' argument.
This season we've tried in various games 4-1-4-1, 4-2-3-1, 4-4-2, and the false nine. We've tried things like Shaqiri in the hole, moving Arnie up front partway through games, switching from the false nine to having a proper striker during games.
It hasn't always worked but that doesn't mean we haven't tried different things.

Talking to a West Brom fan today Id not seen at work for a while about the six points they got off us this season Im telling you - he said three shots on target in the last two home games (sound familiar ?) young talented prospects leaving the club in droves becasue they now know - they'll never, ever, get a game (sound familiar ?) A star striker worn down young -highly rated but - demotivated - disenfranchaised by the manager -- price dropping throuh the floor day by day because he never plays ( sound familiar ?) - WELL from the baggies fan - I was expecting some flak - he was near suicidal, I can tell youdreaming of being able to watch a team like ours with Bojan, Affellay, Arnie, Shakiri et al So - the OP is talking some shyte I can tell you OHHHHHH its spiderman - explains a lot - (once a tool - always - a tool ! ) My Mates a baggies fan and all he has done is take the fucking piss all day every day...perspective overall fans

Is this his reaction to our game at Leicester? Edit - Bit random, but is it just me who thinks Pulis looks like a younger Len Goodman!?!?!

We are on a journey, on occasion it will be bumpy, slow and at other times we will fly along. When we reach our destination it will be well worth it. I back Hughes all the way, I trust his judgement based on the last two and a half seasons; it will take a lot to change my mind. At present I am enjoying supporting Stoke as much if not more than ever. Given that I have been supporting for almost 60 years that is a big claim but I think it is justified. Only a matter of time before we make a breakthrough, until then I am going to enjoy the journey. Hope you all do the same.

Set up to play tip tap crap tomorrow night and we will suffer for it.
Tomorrow is all about a TP band of aggressive football with the opposition penalty area bombarded by long balls. We have to aim to get the ball into their area 100 times tomorrow. Compare that with the first leg where I don't think we touched the ball in their penalty area more than 5 times (if that).
LMH's football is better in the vast majority of games, but tomorrow calls for something different.
PS Is it true that the last 8 shots on target against Mignolet have been goals?

One question. Why can't we play like we did against Citeh? If we could reproduce that sort of form tomorrow night, we would win!
