What a fucking plum 😂😂😂😂 Here endeth the first lesson. Not at all. I think last season he was absolutely crap and this and using mostly the same players has shown how bad that capitulation was. I know people won’t agree. But 80% of that side last were here last season. It’s not the odd one or two.

Just wondering what bayernoatcake and others are thinking now? Any retractions? Any "yeah, I'm a complete fucking idiot, I fucked that one right up" comments? Oh God we did last night. No. 9/11 players that started last night we had last season and there was no excuse for the shite he produced in it. If anything it reinforced my point about what the real issues were. Thankfully he’s chanced tact. I’m not sure what redapples is trying to achieve with this thread. If MON had lost his job at the end of last season, he could’ve had no complaints and neither would I. But the mark of a good manager is accepting when something isn’t working. Thankfully this season, he has ditched his 4-3-3 and brought in players that suit a better system. We’re at last seeing the MON who miraculously saved us from oblivion. Likewise, Mad Nath finally binned the diamond and is having much more success. Let it go. I have no regrets about wanting MON out last season but no he’s come to his senses, I’m glad to have him and hope he leads us to promotion.

Bayern as a little lad when his mum and dad give him a bright shiny bike for Christmas ….. “you should’ve given it me last year.”

Why bring up a post like this when we should be enjoying the moment. Everyone is allowed an opinion. Yes we’re looking great now, it’s fantastic but don’t forget how shit we were for several months last season, form was terrible and the team lacked any identity. It wasnt completely alien to be pissed off with MON. Not a great admittedly.
Football fans are fickle, that’s true. Enjoy the moment, spread the positive vibes!

Amongst some of the guff Bayern posts he's right about the finishing we should have been out of sight last night if it wasn't for the finishing , i was raging at that Surridge miss but even so that performance last night was a promotion performance , we just need to be consistent with these performances

Not too sure if singling out one poster is that fair.
The day Bayern admits he was wrong is the day Hell freezes over, he will squirm out of any holes he’s dug, usually by digging sideways and making a trench for himself rather than going deeper.
However remember though that unfortunately for him, that’s his character/personality trait, which will never change and stringing him up for it is unfair and uncouth.
He does at least engage on a football chat level and back up his negativity with his thinking.
There are many posters (ain’t seen many for a while, thankfully) wh, especially last 2 seasons during lock downs who are just damn right ugly and negative in every instance.
We’ve still got that ‘A’upDaffy’ poster who could do with a walk down the fast lane of the motorway.

I have no regrets about wanting MON out last season but no he’s come to his senses, I’m glad to have him and hope he leads us to promotion. What I liked so much about MON in his first season other than the football was his ability to spot the mistakes he made and rectify them. Last season I don’t think that was happening and I thought it was just so bad. But this season he is showing so much more of the one we had in that first season. And that’s all I can ask for from a manager tbh. The ability to see problems and mistakes and trying to change that. I genuinely think he gave up when Campbell got injured last season and that for me was totally unacceptable. But he’s shown this season that pretty much with the same players and still missing your best striker we have a side that functions. It doesn’t only functions, it’s shit hot. I don’t think the excuses were there last season and I still don’t now. My mind won’t ever be changed on that. And this is only showing that my faith in the team we had remaining was right. I said we were a play off side last season and I genuinely believed it. I don’t think we’re as good as Fulham but second should be in our reach. And who knows what could happen if we can start finishing.

We've only got one player scoring for us at the moment. There is massive over expectation on the relatively inexperienced Campbell, and its not like we are thrashing teams out of sight. Calm down everybody!!!

It isn't you're right but he can be forgiven because the usual suspects would have been on here like a flash with their doom and gloom and 'MON out' chants if we'd lost so it is understandable that that some might feel the need to lash out. After last night? 😂 And WD is just a bit unhinged. Sorry to be stupid, who is or was the poster 'WD', it's an abbreviation right?

I'll openly admit I had a wobble with the manager last season post Campbell injury. I thought, and still do think that he was far too negative in his approach and it soured with me a bit. The results at the end of the season were dreadful, along with the football.
At the end of the day though, we are all Stoke fans and we all see things differently even if we all have the same end goal. The only thing that matters is the club being successful and thankfully it looks like we are finally on the road to recovery.
Sadly there are a growing number of posters on here just sitting silently in the background waiting for an opportunity to have a go at people who want to come on here and make a positive contribution (even if the content of the posts is sometimes negative) to discussing our shared passion.
It's a bad precedent to set and a bad trend for the board. Also quite sad.

I am enjoying how well we are playing, always knew this manager would have us challenging at the right end of this league given time, early days still but the signs are there that the rebuild job he had is getting there even quicker than expected. We are not that far off from being the real deal at this level, which, in two years is quite an achievement really. All the people calling for him to be sacked last season deserve to have those words rammed back down their throats but I'm going to let the manager do that from now on, but they/you cannot complain if other fans on this board keep bringing it back up.

1st of October 2019 What a turnaround 👏👏 In fairness there was a spell earlier this year after the 1-3 League Cup exit v Spurs which started with a 0-0 draw with Cov City and finished with a 4-1 defeat at Norwich where we took 6 points from a possible 27. We also chucked a 4-0 FA Cup exit in to this dismal run. In essence it was 11 matches in a row without a win. I can't imagine any of us who care about the club sat through that lot without a high degree of anguish and agitation.

How is it spin when a team that started with 80% of players we had last year when people said there’s no way he could get a tune from them play like that last night? 😂😂just bad excuses as usual. Because that’s what you do when you’re proven wrong. You can’t see it so there’s no point in explaining it any further. He’s exactly proven right , if MoN hadn’t shit himself last season and played more positive instead negative we could have easily finished top 8

I think the point that's being made mate is that had we lost last night or even played poorly this board would have been awash with 'MON out' 'Brown is shit' 'fuck Surridge off' style posts. Some of us see a defeat or sub standard performance as a blip on the road to world domination others as the end of the world. The flat earthers get enough air time on here as it is. If they can't take a bit back they shouldn't dish it out.

There is positive contribution (even negative content) and then there is starting a thread about sacking the manager because we drew a game instead of won, or had an off day Vs derby but remained in the top 6. None of that shit is needed and quite frankly, isn't even genuine. Simply trolls trying to rumble up arguments which on this forum is easy as fuck.
