I'm guessing Pieters missed his punch and hit a Wigan player?

Pieters gets a bad press, there were much worse than him on the pitch today.... Again!!! You are joking aren't you? Surely to God... I am sick of the sight of Erik Pieters I really am. It is an urgent position that needs sorting as we start every game effectively 1 nil down by him starting.

We're in trouble. Played off the park in three out of four games. Mentally we looked fucked. Saturday is now a big game. I know it's only August and way too early to be making predictions but we need a win quick. Fans were right to boo the team off tonight. Buck your fucking ideas up Stoke.

It's fucking great news IMO. From what I've heard in recent interview from Fuller and Lawrence, there were regular punch-ups between players under Pulis. It's about fucking time somebody stepped up and showed some bollocks. Unfortunately, it was most likely a couple of bitch-slaps over who got the most likes on their post-match Instagram post. That is all well and good when you are getting results. Fighting amongst ourselves after that debacle, spells trouble. If the players aren't all pulling in the same direction now, we are in deep trouble. Especially if McClean was involved, a deviceive character to say the least. Why single out McClean? You might have some bigoted opinion on his political views, but that has fuck all to do with our current situation.

I think him and McClean had words at HT too. Crouch and a couple others ran down the tunnell to sort it out. Not good, fighting among ourselves, worrying. It's fucking great news IMO.

We used to be a combative, passionate football team. God that seems a long time ago now

Rotten performance. Thought Williams was at fault for second, have to look back at it. If pieters was then I'll hold my hands up. Fair play. Worst player for me was fletcher hands down.

Pieters bottles a header (think he closes his eyes) then the balls falls to a Wigan player, Mclean doesn’t challenge, then Williams dives in & is weak. Catalogue of errors, but Erik plays his part as usual.

It's a shame he didn't want to come to us in January. Because if he had he wouldn't be here now.

I just want see us win We've got a good squad on paper but nobody can make it in to a decent team. It's frustrating. We've been rolled over by Wigan comfortably. Pieters is not to blame for all of that. Obviously.

I really, really hate to see or hear about our own team fighting among themselves, but at half time I actually said that if they're not fighting among themselves in the tunnel, they fuckin' well should be. This team needs shock treatment, and fast.

It must have been hard to tell, after all the hard work and effort they had put in you would be surprised they had the energy for fighting.^ All started over the washing as Butland blamed Shawcross for washing his strip in with his grey pants. I don't blame him either, it looked shit and was clearly responsible for him conceding another 3 goals. Life is tough when you are a millionaire and forced to play football at an early age. Living in a mansion with a fit wife and a fast car or ten. I don't know how they cope. What's the programme where rich people change places with poor people for a week? Ma lady would soon have them running with her rolling pin back of their heads.

I think what this team needs is some plan, some organisation, some cohesion and a Manager who knows what type of football he wants to play and signs the players to play it.

Sorry mate. His political views might be divisive, but they’ve got nowt to do with what goes on on the pitch, or in this case in the tunnel, so let’s not try and bring that up as a reason to have a pop at him. He’s certainly a limited footballer, but from what I’ve seen, he’s not lacking in effort or commitment, and there are a good few players in our squad that would do well to take note of that.

No worries, no sense in us fighting too, as shit a night as it has been. I just feel he is an easy target for opposition fans. The Wigan fans were giving him grief from the word go tonight, and I think it got to him. He got a needless card in the first half for loosing his rag with the ref. He is, if nothing else, ultra competitive, with the booking hanging over him he lost some of that, and stopped chasing things down. I have to agree with you about his limited ability, he goes down blind alleys a lot and does not seem to have the pace or the guile to produce a ball into the box. He got into good positions in the first 20 mins tonight and let his full-back get back at him, producing nothing like a decent cross.

Wonder if anyone hit the target One landed in the back of a net,....then Annette wasn't happy and swung her handbag. are you writing this down Shawcross? She asked. Shawcross immediately asked for a pen at which point Butland dived out of the way. Tune in same time, same channel for the next thrilling episode of Stoke celebrity bake off or how to make a defence crumble.
