There is mention of the bench, yes, (& rightly so) but a notable absence of a mention of us in, amongst, or even, anywhere near promotion favourites.

Always said the championship is a great league to watch as a neutral.
Horrible league to be in though.

Always said the championship is a great league to watch as a neutral. Horrible league to be in though. The quality is absolutely woeful. Players making mistakes leading to many chances which are often missed.... It's a farce. Also the insistency of performances further highlights the lack of quality throughout. It's rubbish |

It's rubbish Tbh I don't think many of the top half of the Championship would go down in the current prem. I've been surprised just how good it is. |

It's an odd development of the internet age that people spend the whole tenure of sometimes very successful managers trying to back up their first instinct that said manager was shit. |

This season you could replace the bottom half of the PL with the top half of the Championship and you would notice little to no difference in quality.

I don't know what people go to watch football for - the championship is so much more exciting/interesting than the prem - where we were getting shellacked most every game. So far, apart from the inexplicable Wigan game, we could've won every game.

If you think it is odd that a supporter would express his opinion that the manager of the club is rubbish, especially when he's only won 6 in 20 games, then you are naive at best aren't you? |

Nothing wrong with the Championship at all for me,far more interesting league for fans full of top clubs.Also at least half would hold their own in the prem as well imo.
Too many premier league JCL who’ve forgot what real football is

All you do is moan like a little baby about the Manager. Do you really think this manager is doing a good job all things considered ? And I was one that defended Hughes longer than most on the back of his first 2 seasons. Personally I find it hard to defend a manager who seems scared of trying to win games for fear of losing..especially one that has spent the best part of 30mil on attacking players. Each to their own I suppose. |

All you do is moan like a little baby about the Manager. That's why I'm always complaining about how shit Rowett is, because I support Stoke and it bothers me that his incompetence is holding us back. That is my opinion. In terms of posts as evidence of supporting the club, I do actually think we are a great club and although the owners have made mistakes in the summer when people were slagging them I have always said we are lucky to have owners who back the club financially. The truth is you are a baby,throwing his toys out the pram when someone criticises Gary. Anyway, how about this, if Rowett gets us into the play off positions at any point this season I won't post on this board again for the remainder of his time as manager. I think that's fair? |

Hes our manager though, critisce when necessary yes but praise also when he deserves it. Trolling him on here does nothing at all to help our club. |

Not posting because he gets to the playoff shows how far you have thrown your dummy. |

If an average job is guiding this team to the bottom half of the championship, considering the resources at his disposal, then how would you define a bad job? Another relegation? We have far too many sympathisers and apologists for the truly turgid football this chancer is serving up. There’s no excuses for this squad not to be in the play off positions at least. If he didn’t set up like we’re playing Man City away every week and fill the team with scrappers then we’d be doing much better. |

At times , not enough I grant you , we have played some good stuff. Its his mindset , complete lack of nous and bottle to turn draws into wins.You dont draw as many as we do by accident. The Derby game was telling for me.The one game we are genuinely the underdog and he comes out of his shell.Games we are expected to take to the opposition he doesnt do anywhere near enough to try and win the game. |

I didn’t fancy studying the table in fine detail after watching that surrender against relegation threatened Reading, who’ve just sacked their manager. |

Like I said I don't like his negative play, but chose to ignore that. Probably in the bottom 10. Like ive said as well, hes manager of my team. Praise when due and criticise when due. |

Like I said I don't like his negative play, but chose to ignore that. Probably in the bottom 10. Like ive said as well, hes manager of my team. Praise when due and criticise when due. I haven’t seen much worthy of praise this season to be honest. Lambert managed to shore up the defence and grind out some draws, even a clean sheet at Anfield. We’re now in a division lower having only lost Zouma, Shaqiri, Choupo and Sobhi yet there’s little improvement. 3 of his signings have only really made a positive impact, Ince, Clucas and Afobe. The rest you can chuck on the Cartwright scrapheap. Pretty much mid way through the season, we’re miles off the promotion places and quite a distance from the play offs. We’re playing slow, negative football and not making any ground on the top 6. He sets the team up not to lose rather than try to win and has started to marginalise key assets for no fathomable reason. How long do we have to sit and watch more ultra defensive football and a series of draws before its okay to want someone competent and with a pair of bollocks who goes out to try and win matches fully utilisng his ridiculously expensive squad? |

Whats Cartwright got to do with it? The managers have always chosen the players. So Woods hasn't made a positive influence? We are 7 points off a playoff place. Managers always choosing the players is a completely different debate, and in the last 12 months we’ve seen quite strong evidence to the contrary. I’m yet to be convinced that Woods is any better than what we already had. He started off well, was then very poor and has been okay since. Considering we already had Allen, Etebo, Clucas, Adam, Sorensen, Fletcher and Afellay who can all play in midfield, it wasn’t the most urgent area of the field that needed strengthening. 7 points. Yes, that’s a big gap! To close that we would need to put together a run of wins, something which we’ve failed to achieve so far this season and when we can’t beat the likes of QPR, Reading, Sheff Wed, Rotherham, Wigan etc then it doesn’t look likely that we’ll close that gap. We’re currently on course for about 13 wins this season which won’t be enough to make the play offs. |
