MON apologist starting early then? Not really. I’d just rather blame the players at present. We’ve actually set up in a way that most fans would agree with. The players have gone out there and not come even close to delivering. Why should the anger be directed away from them and towards the guy on the sidelines? My gripe with MON is, why was Campbell still on and why did Clucas even bother to be started? Those mistakes are on him and I’m pissed by that. But I don’t think he’s to blame for 14 players playing crap like that when none of them are youngsters and all of them should know how to play the game. It's the managers job to get the players heads in the right place as well as to get training and game tactics correct. He's not getting things right behind the scenes if morale or commitment is an issue

Always been a supporter of MON but he’s on a proper knife edge now. Same here mate.

Well that was surprising, not. You may had well record a Stoke home performance, save 20 quid a week, and play it at home on the tv, because we are the exact same level of shit week in week out. I can take being a bad team, and that’s exactly what we are, the players out there today would struggle to get another team in this league, but even bad teams, such as Preston , put in a half decent performance every now and then.
Added to the absolutely tripe players we have , are the equally tripe (non) tactics. Baring a screamer, a mistake or a set piece today where we’re the goals coming from? What is our style? Full backs who can’t cross, centre halves who can’t do anything, wingers the same and a completely anonymous central midfield.

Absolute garbage.
Take away Powell ,Soutar and Sawyers it leaves a dreadfully over burdened Vrancic and an out of sorts Campbell.
The rest is beige at best ,truly horrific at worst.

he needs to be backed this window to get a 1st team center half, DM and forward. otherwise no point as the trajectory will be the same as last season.

That’s our best hope at the moment, postpone the season and regroup, it’s not going to happen though. Eehh ... I think M'ON will explain the last couple of games with Covid-19.

What about the rest of the games we've looked just as poor in, he's only changed it because he's getting desperate, he's panicking and he clearly doesn't have any idea of how to change it for the better. Re Clucas, he didn't really have any other choice bar maybe putting Willmott in there.

Here's a question, will Radio Stoke actually grow a pair of bollocks now and ask the difficult questions or will it be business as usual?

Oh for a courageous reporter to question MON. “That was a fucking Embarrassment to Stoke City Michael. How do you justify that? Won’t hold my breath.

We must admit that at the moment we look even worse than most of the relegation contenders. Hopefully we can get 15 more points and stay up, but this is really starting to look awful.

Oh I see Derby scored another one of those weird late goal things, I thought they were against the rules or something? What is this sorcery?

What did we actually create in that game ? Fuck all that's what We only had 2 shots on target, Wilmot’s goal and Doughty’s effort.

Where's TP these days.
I think I'd put up with drab 1-0 and fighting seige mentality for a while, if it meant losing this powder puff, aimless, and inert manager we now appear to have.
We need someone to put some fire in these waster bellies.

On Thursday I said give him 6 games. I now repent. Get rid.
Get rid of Campbell whilst we’re at it, obviously one eye on the Newcastle rumours.

I certainly don’t trust him to bring in what’s required. thats definitely an issue but we are still in touching distance (im not saying buy necessarily) and he gets that and until summer and we see about things then. and on that point its a bit worrying that the only transfer rumors are some lightweight winger from Leeds which is the last thing we need.
