Tonight was a real old fashioned style performance full of guts and courage. Not particularly free flowing but for the first 15 mins when we looked excellent but we kept going. Lots of tackles and hustle.
We look like a completely different side to the one under Jones.
Unbelievable that MO has accumulated 20 of our 28 points in such a short time. Just shows what a decent manager can do.
Really beginning to like the guy. No bull just gets on with it and it’s clear the players do from the comments made by Baath.
Just hope we can bring 2 or 3 in as I still have concerns over squad depth.

Agreed, we need a pacy striker and wide player to stretch teams. Left back I have pretty much given up on.

Not sure he wants too many incomings just yet It’s actually quite refreshing to see a manager who doesn’t seem to want to sign a whole new team. It’s almost like old school management ie. work with what you have. |

Generally we kept our shape and West Brom couldn’t break that.
There was bottle there but that’s belittling the performance somewhat imo. And I’m not saying you’re doing that on purpose so don’t get arsey!
West Brom didn’t have one meaningful chance. That was down to the organisation today. There was moments where Allen and Clucas were way too high or one of the CBs came out of line when it was daft but the person behind or in front of him covered.
It was a mature display. And in the end actually, a pretty comfortable win.

We've got possibly the biggest squad in the division, that's been part of our problem, we still need to move a few out now. |

First time having bottle has been mentioned for a Stoke team in recent years. I would love to know just what has happened behind the scenes with players and managers. The way MON is going, he’ll be getting a statue soon.😂😂😂

I think the biggest problem is we have a big squad in numbers made up of players who won’t contribute anything some of whom are on loan. When you take them away our squad is small.
Of those currently in the building we need to offload
Hogan
Woods (gone)
Duffy
Ward
Diouf (though I wouldn’t describe him as dead wood)
Can’t think of many others

Some vague and intangible predictive model said so. 😂 the thing is i think those kind of things can be interesting, as part of a discussion... that fella was just regularly having meltdowns and posting anything that would make Jones look competent. |

Long may it continue. This league isn't rocket science, despite Jones insisting it is. Teams that do well are organised, fit, graft their socks off and have a little bit of quality. We are, and always were, good enough to compete up the other end of the table.
Finally a manager with a sensible plan.

The more I think about this game today the more impressive it gets. We went away from home defended for 75 minutes against the top scorers in the league, they had 72% of the ball. Had 2 shots on target. Fucking two!! The defence was different class
