He's doing alright. We sure look better with him in the team anyway.

It would be nice for Bojan to get a goal.

Rowett took him off just as he was starting to get into the game, very strange.

Good today. Knitted the play together and protected the ball well high up the pitch. Needed to get him on the ball more.
Taking him off essentially finished us as an attacking threat.

Him and Ince were good today. Bojan is so important for getting Afobe involved; he has to be the first name on the team sheet.

Taking him off deflated us and lifted them.
Good work Tony!

Second best Stoke player after Ince. Showed glimpses of why he will be good, giving him more game time will let him play himself into some good form.
I was right pissed off when he was taken off, just as he was starting to get a good handle on the game.

He played his part but was definitely blowing. Etebo was a reasonable change to make.

Could have got a couple of shots off but generally looked ok. Why you'd take him off i don't know.

He seems up for it and just seems to need a run of 6 or 7 games to bring up his level of fitness and sharpness.
There really does seem hope for the lad if the Manager retains faith in him.
We do need to play two solid dm's behind and that is another matter entirely.

Strange decision especially for a ‘confidence’ player
Fletcher was literally strolling around from 55 minutes and let their goal score walk past him
Etebo should have been on for Fletcher every day

He played his part but was definitely blowing. Etebo was a reasonable change to make. Bringing Etebo on for Bojan was utter madness from a defensively minded manager. We are not going to get promoted trying to hold onto 1-0 leads at home - if Bojan was running out of steam he should have gone 2 up top - ie bring on any of Crouch, Berahino or Diouf Hanging on for slim wins to survive in the premier league against "better" opposition is understandable and forgiveable but wtf was this substitution all about. We were shite today and were gifted a 1-0 position but another defence first minded manager has lost us 2 points - even though we didn't even deserve 1 today.

Fuming.
Take Bojan off - ruined the game.
We were doing fine at that point.
The obvious changed was slightly later, Etebu for Fletch.
Fucks sake.
Blew it.

He had opportunities to play people in our have a pop himself that he simply wasn’t sharp enough to execute. His contribution was a tadge better than some others but it was still miles from the required standard.

Feel sorry for him. We are completely incapable of getting it from the back- to between the lines where he can be effective. David Silva wouldn't do anything in this steaming pile of shit team and tactics

Absolute fucking suicide taking him off today. Thought he looked a little bit like his old self at times getting into those areas in the edge of the penalty area where he can be deadly. To sub him and leave Fletcher on was pretty mind boggling. If we are to be successful this season then Bojan will be a huge part of that i imagine.

Good today. Knitted the play together and protected the ball well high up the pitch. Needed to get him on the ball more. Taking him off essentially finished us as an attacking threat. Ince inside and Diouf on the right would have been a decent change, Bojan looked a bit spent tbf, I just think the wrong player/s came on. Re Bojan: he was okay but nothing more for me, didn't create any chances and looked to pass rather than shoot a couple of times when he had the chance, room for improvement.

Four managers in a row now who make costly, negative substitutions.

If we'd wanted Tony pulis back we might as well have got the real thing instead of an expensive imitation At least we might create the odd chance from a set piece, as opposed to nothing at all. Also we wouldn't have this embarrassing bringing Crouch on at the end of every match, as he'd already be on.

However, telling him to fuck off in the second part of your original post shows you up to be the twonk you are. The lad wants to play, Rowett doesn't fancy him. Can you blame him wanting to move? Anyway, go and polish your halo.

Bojan, Ince, Afobe and Bera. That is the skill in the squad the rest are workhorses. We’d be crazy to remove his flair with Etebo defending and Bera having no cover.

Can you blame him wanting to move? Anyway, go and polish your halo. how do you know bojan wants to stay if he wants to stay so much why dosnt he stay and fight for his place.. He's pragmatic. He's getting older and he's wasted a chunk of his career at Stoke where fans do but managers dont appreciate what he can do. He's wanted overseas whereas his manager has shown little inclination to play him and has broken promises made to him. I would also have liked him to stay and fight for his place, but if he's going to wait for a chance to play CL at Stoke he may have to wait a long, long time. He's now been offered that chance, and you cant possibly blame him taking it - if it does go through. But he remains registered by Stoke, and will probably be back to fight for his place next year, by the time if we should be so lucky Rowett will have moved on.
