I'm hoping the night off means a full game for Bojan on Saturday. Where would we be without wishful thinking.... I don't think Jones has a clue,just like Rowett. I've just been slagged off for saying that.

Doubtless a load of talk about ‘improvements’ and ‘works in progress’ but in reality just the sort of performance that got Rowett the bullet. Dull and uninspiring. Rowett's mouth got him the bullet. I'll say it again, the reason this performance is similar to that of Rowett is because it's largely the shit he lumbered us with. We've got rid of Martina and Williams, bought back Edwards and Bauer with new signing Batth and given the side more strength at the back and more pace in Edwards/Bauer. Two games in a row now and the keeper has had hardly anything to save. Vokes is more suited to being a target man up front than Afobe, at 12M, ever was. That's just this man's first two signings and he's improved things, albeit not at the pace we would all like. Give him the summer and more signings and i'm confident he can and will improve it further. Well if Rowett talked himself out of a job at least he can have the consolation that he never talked the utter twaddle that Jones just has on Radio Stoke! If you consider that performance or that utilisation of players to be in anyway satisfying or representing any sort of progression then happy days - I’ve just been bored to distraction again and if that in anyway shape or form represents what Jones is aspiring to (and from what he says it is) then gawd help us.

All we have to do is,improve another 25% and we could become bang average, I can see your point but it's not going to be a linear improvement, once it clicks the floodgates will open.

Random stat Wigan are now unbeaten in their last 10 games against us
Staggering really considering they were relegated before us and we never seemed to beat them but didn't realise that they are a bit of a bogey side

We are in a right fucking state. Look at that Adobe. Shite on loan then we shell out for a bloke that couldn’t lace the boots of Dave Bamber. It’s incredulous the stupidity in the transfer market. Vokes looks like a poor mans Jon Parkin. Crowds will be dwindling fast

So Ince has had two games at being shit in the number 10. Bojan got 60 mins. Will we ever score again. God it’s tough right now. Actually Ince has had three, having played - and sunk - vs Brentford.

Much improved, the better team, can't complain too much, we just need to do better with the final ball. I have a feeling we'll be saying that all season. Which won't be a surprise given the money we've spent in recent seasons has been used poorly.

Sorry but IMO that was utter shite from start to finish. Ropey at the back and toothless up front against a team who were in league one last season. How were we ropey at the back, to start with yes they had some chances, but after the change we were pretty solid.

If this lot kicked the ball off the top of Blackpool Tower it would miss the fucking promenade.

How were we ropey at the back, to start with yes they had some chances, but after the change we were pretty solid. Yes thought we looked reasonably comfortable at the back. Impressed with Batth, does the basics very well and doesn’t seem to make many daft errors.

this must be one of the worst Stoke teams i have seen in a long time It really is. Totally dysfunctional from back to front. No plan, no system, no direction, gutless, aimless football. I genuinely feel sorry for the type of people who would be satisfied with that. Their idea of fun must be queuing in Morrisons!

Absolutely not true I just think he is flying by the seat of his pants - nothing about that performance was a step forward from what we have watched all season and some of his comments are taking us all for idiots.

To sort that out the is the Managers function. I don't get the love in with this guy, he is lower league. The only people to get a tune out of this rabble would be a person such as Big Sam or TP, unpopular as they may be may be, they command respect. Look at Lampard at Derby, he has done that with no experience, just respect.

I hope so but if in the meantime he can desist from describing performances such as that of Voakes tonight as ‘immense’ it would be good.

The post match interviews from Jones are as predictable as the ones from Hughes and Rowett. Does he think the fans are stupid?. He seems to be a nervous wreck trying to spout positives when there aren't any. Man up sunshine and be honest!.

I hope so but if I’m the meantime he can desist from describing performances such as that of Voakes tonight as ‘immense’ it would be good. Wheels within wheels. Managers say a lot of things. Back in the dressing room he might have tore strips off him, but I doubt it. I'm just happy we have a manager that is focused on the team, and not having a go at the fans whilst disrespecting modern day legends in his interviews because he can't hack the pressure he created himself. Roll on the summer.
