Interview is heartbreaking. He is saying everything most sane Stoke fans are saying. It sounds like it's over for him.... Hughton and if not him, Pulis til the end of the season, and only end of the season. He generally sounds like he doesn't know what to do anymore. Body language suggests he knows hes getting the axe. I see that too, it's a man who can do no more, the players want a fucking rocket.

Actually Rowett made a good point, it's alright saying we are a wonderful team box to box, that's dubious, but the 2 most vital areas are both boxes and we aren't very good in either, concede to many and score too few.

Tin hat on here... How many of his signings started the game today? Gregory? Powell? CCV? 3 out of 10 players. It does make me ask the question, are they really his signings? Or is his hand being forced? I'm in no way defending him and he does need to go, but if the problem lies deeper will a new manager make any difference? I can imagine it. Jones wants young nippy players but the board know they will probably have to pay transfer fees for them and negotiate with clubs, so they come up with the idea to get in some out of contract decent players believing they will be succesful and when they are, then you can replace them with players we will be prepared to buy. It makes no sense to say you want one thing but produce something else. Like you said , was his hand forced.

Sick of hearing him say how much good work we are doing and how many chances we are creating. He's fucking lost it.

It’s Pulis time. He can bring the discipline which is most of the problem. If Pulis had a blind spot it was full-backs using the likes of Cameron and Wilson as FBs. It took Hughes to bring in Pieters, Bardsley, and Johnson and move the team up to 9th place. What is one of our major defensive weaknesses? Full-backs.

Needs fucking off.
Never should've appointed him - I fucking told you so.
Same with GR and PL.

I still feel sorry for him. So many stupid errors from players who should be better.

True. It's also trues >90% of Stoke fans wanted Edwards in the team under Rowett and Jones, and he was responsible for conceding 2 goals tonight. You think he's to blame for the second. An uncomtested cross from those two fucking clowns left side again. Fuck me. He was yards off his man at the back post like he is every week. He's fucking woeful, as is the left back. The third was just embarrassing.

In a way it is worse when you lose and are not playing that badly. How many would we lose by if we were that bad. Hoped he would do it but I'm afraid there is no real choice He's got to go.

If he's not gone in the next hour, the Coates family deserve third division football. It'd be the third time they've delivered it too, the majority of our time in the third tier's been on their watch. Just saying. That's a sobering thought.

The next 6 fixtures look scary. We need a shake up fresh ideas. Ian Holloway for me. Jones record is toxic

It took Hughes to bring in Pieters, Bardsley, and Johnson and move the team up to 9th place. What is one of our major defensive weaknesses? Full-backs. I don’t think anyone can knock Pulis for his defensive work. We’ve never had so much organisation and better shape since Pulis, even though his full backs were centre backs. That worked amazingly for him defensively. Pieters and Bardsley were better full backs but nobody can argue we were more water tight under Pulis.

Let's be honest the players have no confidence in Jones, the fans certainly don't and even now Jones himself looks like he may not...
The only fuckers left who do have confidence in him are our inept board.

I thought Stoke did well first half but stop playing for the manager. Forest are doing so well this season. I think its game over for Nathan Jones, nobody knows what has gone badly wrong in them dressing room.
I was told few days back, that Pulis till end of the season will be happening. Time will tell.

We're fucked now. Whose going to get a tune out of this sack of shit? Forest are top of the Championship tonight and we were far the better team in the first half. Unfortunately a game has two halves and they won the second one . Also as an away team they scored 3- how long have we gone without doing that? We are a team of insipid ( for the most part) surrender monkeys.
