Looking at Twitter it doesn't look like Mrs. Shawcross is a happy bunny at the moment either.

Lokking at Twitter it doesn't look like Mrs. Shawcross is a happy bunny at the moment either. As much as I wouldnt condone extreme and pathetic slagging off of players on here I wish players wives would stay out of it. He’s a big boy he can sort out any if any at all grievances out with the club himself

I've read much of this thread and, recognising that I'm probably a lone voice, I disagree with the OP.
For one thing, we haven't got anybody better to bring in. For another thing, our back four are being set up all wrong. The gaps between them during games are criminal. No wonder we concede so many goals. It doesn't matter who's playing in defence, keep using these tactics and we'll keep conceding goals.
The defenders are good enough for this league as long as they keep their shape, their positional sense and the full-backs stop trying to overlap because they can't do it.
Stop giving Pieters and Martina the ball on the halfway line - it just goes sideways and backwards. Stop giving Ryan and BMI the ball to nine-iron it to our solitary striker. Just get a midfielder to drop deep and pick the ball up and leave the defenders to defend.
And while we're at it, play two up front so there's some way of taking the game to the opposition.
It won't make us into Barca, but the line-ups and tactics are a shambles.

Is there no Bruno thread?! He's doing a sterling job of proving me right, he's so bad it's comical at times. I don’t understand why Ryan’s getting all of the stick. For me, Bruno was much worse today. I think if we can only drop one it should be Bruno. Both are too slow but Ryan is still better (and important) in the air and he was the one trying to get the ball forward in the last 20 mins. We looked better when he played with Williams. ...and Allen, his touch for Blackburn's first goal was almost comical! I really can't see anyone else to blame for the first one, but Ryan must be blamed for number 2, and the last one I think 4-5 players really aren't doing enough to prevent it from happening!

Thanks for everything Ryan. Club legend. The three fuckers next to you should turn it in as well. It's a defensive 5(including the keeper) and agreed - the defence needs a complete overhaul - how long do you persist with something that has been failing massively for years

Collins needs to be signed tonight and give him the Forest cup match to get minutes in him because ShawWank can’t be given another minute in a stoke shirt ( and he is a stoke legend) but its game over now Ryan nor to BMI either, a complete joke of a so called centre back. I know you’ve mellowed with age Jarhead but to me that’s totally out of order about a club legend.Then again you have form with another club legend I seem to remember when describing Rory as “Rory Decrap” many moons ago.A little bit of respect is needed towards club legends I get it but I’m seriously pissed off as are many and every person lately would label his performances as Wank it’s silly talk but it’s about stoke city getting winning results because Ryan will still get his 60k + regardless.
