Off the BBC Stoke manager Mark Hughes: "We knew it was an important game and we came into it with the mindset of getting maximum points but we came up short. We deserved something out of the game but we didn’t get it, you’ve got to pick yourselves up and get on with it. In key moments we need to recognise when situations in the game are likely to damage us – but in terms of the team trying to force the issue clearly that was us. "They had a little bit of joy down the right but we had chances ourselves - they just had more bodies behind the ball and played on the counter. From our point of view a number of elements need to be better but we went into the game with real intent and we haven’t managed it today unfortunately. "The players are frustrated, disappointed, but that’s a consequence of the high standards that I’ve set here." On team selection: "Everyone’s saying that I gambled but I used the players that I had, what was I going to do? Risk players that had a big part to play today? Plenty of teams have made changes today, everyone else is doing it too." On his future: "Who else is going to do it? In terms of the knowledge of the group and the progress in my time here, I’m the best person to do it." If you are our best hope we might as well shut the doors now, arrogant fuckwit.

He’s a fucking joker he said it’s obvious where we need players in . Full backs and legs in midfield.,It’s been as clear as the nose on your face we needed them in the summer . Summer 2016 'Appen he tried and failed to bring in those types of players?

“Who else is going to do it?” My fucking left bollock could do a better job than you Hughes, you arrogant, clueless wanker. Smacks of sheer arrogance. I'll tell you who. Someone the owners need to have had identified weeks ago, had an agreement lined up via the lawyers, at the end of a phone, timing agreed, budget agreed, ready to start tomorrow. Coates and board really are utter shite. A handful of knowledgeable posters from the Oatcake could guarantee a better more progressive job could be done of running this football club. You couldn't make it up but it's true. When supports have more insight and better long term thinking, you have to wonder. Inept!!!

You haven't done it for the past 2 seasons. That shower of shit that you call football, needs to fuck off with you!. And to answer your other point, yes other teams make changes but they still play to win. Not give up the game before a ball is kicked. If you don't believe the players you put on the pitch can win, don't fucking play them!

BINGO - we have a winner!!!! Little consolation. Interestingly he said he talks about players every week so he's is culpable. I always suspected the recruitment team were largely to blame and the sustainability model. Now it seems, despite him knowing the weaknesses, he's continually failed to address this for the last 18 months or is part of the one big gravy train! Just fuck off now Mark! I thought exactly the same mate, listening to him talking about the needing FBs and lack of pace and athleticism in MF I was thinking "like there was last season, why the f$$$ haven't you done anything about it?" His answer to the opening question ("what went wrong") was delusional. According to him they "hit us with a sucker-punch". According to everybody else in the world who watched it they were comfortably the better team and we were lucky to still be in it at half-time.

Oh and btw Hughes, saying we didn't have the luck today. We were very lucky to go in at ht 0-0. How Clark missed I'll never know and if Atsu had had any composure he could've scored twice.

Watched Final Score and bloody Danny Mills was saying we keep Hughes as "who else is there?". Well Danny at the moment anybody could do a better job than Hughes is, and if we have to keep him just because there is nobody else we really are poorly run.

It's been common knowledge since pulis time. Both pulis and hughes have mentioned how others are responsible for agreeing deals be they with current players or new ones.

So your saying there were no full backs available who would improve us . Hughes has said we need legs in midfield and signs Fletcher who’s legs had gone last season at West Brom

They came to do a containment job - No they did not. They were by far the better side and should have been 3 up at the break.They caught us on the break - Several times each half, which is strange considering we were;t even throwing bodies forward.They did a sucker punch on us - bullshit. I'd love to suck punch you, you arrogant Welsh bastard.We understand the situation we are in now - Half a season too late (2 years too late for my personal liking)
We need to show some fight - Every game we ever play. Why didn't we show any today?Were short in times at quality, we've got young players and players out of form. - Generously put. We'll discuss the issues within the club and take the emotion out of it. The owners are people that have patience and understand better than most owners I have to say. - I'm absolutely sick of this brown nosing the owners who for one reason or another are reluctant to fuck him off. Wake up, smell the coffee and take control.That Newcastle side is at very best, shit. They were streets ahead of us today, and that was down to Mark Hughes and the players.Hughes out.

He was the first signing he made in the summer ! FFS get your head out of his arse, he's taking this club down and some soft sops are still making excuses for his incompetence.
