I went to my first Stoke match in January 1950 and since that time have seen some awful sides,however I find it hard to recall a more gutless side than the current squad.But then when you look at the team it becomes apparent that the squad overall is not very good.How many ot the squad would get into a top six team. Butland
How many would get into a top ten team. Butland and iShaquiri
How many would get into any of the bottom ten teams. Butland Shaquiri and Joe Allen.
I think that this shows how awful our recruitment program has been over the past two and a half years

We have one of the best squads we've ever had. It's being very poorly managed.

Whoever at the club allowed us to go into the season without a recognized right back should have instant dismissal, whatever position they are in at the club.

We don’t have a forward who scores goals,we don’t have cover at full back let our best one go to Burnley,don’t have a midfield player who can get beyond the forwards,don’t have any pace,give players who are not near the first team new contracts.Good squad. |

We don’t have an especially strong squad do we?
We don’t have any full backs who are up to snuff. We are very thin on the ground in terms of quality central midfielders. We only really have two senior strikers who are fit for purpose.

Glenn Johnson is a recognised right back. Saying that, anyone who goes into a season with Glenn johnson as his recognised right back, should be sacked!  |

We have one of the best squads we've ever had. It's being very poorly managed. I don’t believe this is true (the quality bit not the management critique). As has been said above a couple of high quality players and 3 or 4 decent PL blokes but other than that there is nothing to get excited about. |

Sorry but that's absolute horseshit peddled by those who vastly under invested in creating it . we haven't won anything like enough games over the last 40 to keep us up if it continues we haven't had another squad that git us relegated in the premier league era this one unequivocally will and those that assembled it can delude themselves all they want . its unbalanced , lacks quality , lacks power , Lagos pace , lacks guts , lacks fitness. |

Lagos pace? I have a mate from Nigeria. I'll ask him if he's quick. |

We only really have two senior strikers who are fit for purpose. I've asked this question before, Tox. It's not a good squad at all, I'm afraid,and it's all down to the recruitment. I can think of quite a few players from the past who would walk into this side, and I don't just mean the 70's team. |

Glenn Johnson is a recognised right back. Saying that, anyone who goes into a season with Glenn johnson as his recognised right back, should be sacked! That's my point. Johnson finished last season poorly, and everyone watching could see we needed two new full backs, but especially right back. To go into the season with a forward at right back is a sackable offence. I blame Victor Moses. His performances last season paved the way to think you can play an offensive player there. You can't. |

We have one of the best squads we've ever had. It's being very poorly managed. I always gauge it by how it feels when the PA announce the teams. Do they scare the opposition. Do their fans next to me think 'shit, this is a good side' Previous seasons we had a bit of that with the likes of bojan, affelay, Arnie on his day. Now they read butland out and the next and last one to read out is Shaq. |

Shaq is very good, Butland was very good (not sure he is at the moment) and a few others have good days and bad days.
But I would not put us as promotion favourites in the championship.
