Season has been a write off if we lose this tie. Big second half for Hughes coming up.

0 shots on or off target coming up to half time against a Wolves 2nd team, what the fuck?! It's OK, we beat Watford the other night.

No big surprise...... The manager simply can't get the best out of our current squad. Big questions need to be asked about hughes The other question to be asked is, is our squad really as good as some people make it out to be? We've got some big names, not many big players.

Everyone moans their bag off when we have the old guard playing; everyone moans their bag off when we have too much flair.
Yep. Stoke fans.
No excuses for Hughes, but no excuses for yourselves arguing we should have an all out attacking side week in week out.

Big questions need to be asked about hughes Big questions should be asked of that bunch of shithouses on the pitch more like!!!!! If you have the ability but don't put the effort in that's just unforgivable in my eyes.

That's what happens when your squad is imbalanced, has gaps in it, & contains some players past their sell-by, and some who just don't care enough.

Nothing to do with Hughes the problem is simple its arrogance from players who think they are better than they are!

Ngoy time please, swap for Crouch, at least he will put a shift in.

Thing is if fans regularly question Hughes teams and tactics then you can bet the players feel the same.....

Players are strolling through this like it's going to be an easy game. Consequently we have struggled to raise any kind of tempo. We can't afford to have our flair players thinking this will be a simple victory, the movement and options available on the pitch are poor. That's not he managers fault, that's the players not working hard enough.

Well the "big names" that people were crying out for after we beat Watford have done nothing to prove Hughes was wrong for benching them. Sounds like a complete shit show so far. Big second half needed.

Some players out there today showing exactly why theyve been dropped and rightly so get them off and ship them out

This is what happens when your transfer policy is buying players on a decline from bigger things, sign enough of them and you end up with a bucket of shit.
Take a look at the teamsheet.
Said it loads of times SIGN PLAYERS ON THE UP

Flair players work for the big clubs when there's a global prestige to the badge and millions of cameras around. When they're at little old stoke, however, I'm afraid it's as if they're embarrassed to be playing for us at times.
Shaqiri, Bojan and Imbula need to go.

Just when you thought you had the answer the team finds a way of fucking everything up in a completely different setup, Starting to think me blaming Hughes all season was a mistake and it was the team all along. These performances are unforgivable

That's not he managers fault, that's the players not working hard enough. I agree it isn't the mangers fault for the players not working hard enough but in any business if a manager can't motivate his men and get them producing what they should they go down the road and someone comes in who can

I think we have lulled them into a false sense of security. Watch us come out all guns blazing second half.
Or maybe a water pistol?
