Complete and utter shambles. Clueless and totally out thought and outplayed by a bog average championship team. Something has to majorly change and quickly. Any bets on what???? We’re being outplayed here, it is an absolutely soul destroying performance. Forget any progress we are regressing terribly and it isn’t that the players don’t have talent. Their confidence, belief is shot and they are passively accepting defeat. No leaders and weak gutless individuals.

Jones said that he doesn’t understand it because we are good side. Therein lies the problem. This is first time he’s managed outside the third tier. We may look like a good side compared to Luton, but the fact is we aren’t and he’s too inexperienced to recognize what a good Championship side looks like.

We have some good players out there tonight and I'm just wondering if their natural ability isn't just suppressed by being required to play to a rigid 'system'. Particularly one that doesn't seem to suit them. All Preston have done is get the simple things right and they have wiped the floor with us to the point of embarrassment. Sorry Nath, the buck stops with you, and I have lost confidence in your ability to turn this around. We are all sick, SICK, of losing.

Look we're bad, but we're not that bad! No thanks! Not that bad, I'd say absolute dog shit and why would Moyes want to come to this circus ??

I'm sorry but no Jack Butland is single handedly destroying the side. You can't play with him giving it away every week.

Words need to be said to management and the players. Appalling. If this selection madness continues it is over.

Summary:
We look ok/good on the ball bar our finishing.
But every single time there's a second ball / just defensively in general we lose our shape. Not just a little bit either. All over the place.
Desperately need Jones to give someone else a run of games instead of Allen. Fuck knows what to do about the CB partnership but every combination looks gash as well.
Unless we miraculously learn how to keep shape defensively in this formation, he'll lose his job soon because of it.

Abysmal and shameful.
This team and manager are tarnishing the name of Stoke City.

I've said it for ages now. They are a fucking joke and haven't got a fucking clue what they're doing. What more can they do, they spent 60 mil last season! Maybe have spent some of it the year before?

Just terrible.
That was beyond 'passive' - it was simply very very poor football from us.
The manager deserves the stick too. His subs were unhelpful and he failed to get any sort of reaction from his players after half time.
His record has given him no credit in the bank and I fear any good will will dissipate very quickly if we put in another performance like that.
Well played Preston though. Whilst they didn't have to do much, they still did everything right.

I didn't see the third goal, but for the first two Batth and Allen didn't exactly help him. They just helped PNE.

And the next one. And the next one... Because we'll get loads of wins that way 👍🏼
