Nigel, having bigged Denis up, in the amount of games he's played & managed, says to Denis, "penalties then Denis, how would you approach this. Denis, "we will have been practising this & will send the best man first. They send their best man first, who scores, we send our best man first, & he hits the advertising board at the top of the stand. I think that sums them up. Well what Denis said is what any decent manager (including him) would have done.

Nice to hear someone with a F***ing genuine Stoke accent rather than some limp, PC, wannabe-a-Southerner type of social climbing naffness so Big Den will do just fine!

And another thing …… Stokies say look book and cook how they’re phonetically supposed to be pronounced (with the long “ooo” in the middle) What’s all this social-climbing luck buck and cuck SOME Stokies have started using?? Whenever I hear someone use that method, I think to myself “tosser - go and move to Surrey!”

This afternoon he’s claimed at half time that “we battered them”, claimed that they “know they’re in a fortunate position and will just shut up shop now” while Huddersfield were literally in the process of scoring their third goal, and then said “the score should be the other way around”.
Huddersfield “are like a lower league team playing a Premier League team the way they’re hanging on, it’s ridiculous” - with the score at 3-1.
Him and Johnson then proceeded to claim that “you can’t blame the manager, you have to look at the players”.
Now I haven’t seen the game today but it sure as shit doesn’t sound like the game people on here have watched or people on social media have watched.
Does any of that sound like a fair appraisal of the game or is it more rose-tinted nonsense?

He's not so much a glass half full man, as a glass 3/4 full man.

You can see where he is coming from, but sorry the defence has been conceding poor goals for the last three seasons at least. MON never seems to learn.

Fuck me,get a grip.

Can we have Denis as manager? More leadership in that commentary than O’Neill shows.

I’d rather have someone competent and objective with no connection to Stoke whatsoever providing insight into what’s going on than a club legend happy clapping.

Someone needs tell him we got beat, I keep hearing how poor Huddersfield were from him . Yeah but they won Denis. They were worse. Somehow we were even worse . Totally illogical. The worst team won because the worst team were even worse than the team or were worse than them. Another long season ahead.

Listening now. Diplomatic scathing of the players.
Was absolutely correct in saying that on “that performance” Huddersfield will be fighting relegation.
I only saw the 2nd half and have to say I fully in agree with his comments which really puts into perspective how good we are at this moment. Will incomings (if there any) make that difference who knows? It could be “extra” cold down the Brit this winter.

Legend or not, he's talking shit. We probably didn't deserve to lose on the balance of play, but we weren't unlucky. The first goal was the result of a goalkeeper who has proven time and again that he isn't capable of making basic saves and isn't ready/simply isn't good enough and will never be ready, for this level. And the second goal was the result of insisting on a wing back system without having the necessary quality wing backs to play the system. And not having the pragmatism or the necessary squad depth to revert to 4 at the back when a player gets injured. Which is what's happened with Clarke and instead of being sensible and playing 4 at the back, he kept the same system and played a young central midfielder who has absolutely no experience out of position at right back. Who subsequently made an absolute howler for their killer second goal. Both of those problems were predictable and are the fault of the manager.
