Maybe/maybe not but he will do more than enough to keep us up.

No problems. We only have to win them to have a chance of promotion.

I think we have enough time to sort it out we just need to learn how to take a throw in, kick the ball out of defence, pass to a teammate, tackle an opponent and somehow hit the ball into the opposition goal if we can become proficient at those we could have a chance 🤔

we have 21 games left of the season ,we need at least another 20 points to avoid relegation. with this manager and the shower of shit team we have we will be lucky to reach 40 points ,i have supported stoke for 60 odd years and have seen some bad teams in that time ,but this lot of losers must be up there with the worst.we have a team of loan players and free transfers nobody else wants and all they are doing is in most cases is turning up and going through the motions.people keep saying it's not alex neil's team but how many other managers come into football clubs and turn it around with the players that are already there,i think whoever neil brings into this squad won't make a lot of difference because the rot has set in. I agree with everyone who says this is the worst stoke squad ever. I feel embarrassed watching them play for us

Im worried - I just hope we bring in a few solid players who can stiffen our resolve a bit - if not I think it is entirely feasible that we could slip into the bottom 3

Could you not see the improvement between the capitulation against Watford and last night’s performance? Burnley have scored 3 goals in each of their last 6 league games. And since we drew at Turf Moor they have also scored 4 a couple of times. To be disappointed we didn’t get a point against them is a considerable stride forwards. Burnley only came for a single point and were dreadful. How they got up top is a mystery which shows just how poor we played. Only Clarke looked anything like a player and the rest were an uncaring bunch of incompetants. We are in deep trouble and a lot of fans are complacent too, thinking this manager will turn things around. HE WILL NOT!Burnley are the best side in this division for at least a decade. They have been thrashing team after team for weeks now and are so far clear of 3rd place they are pretty much promoted before the New Year. They look like being 30+ points clear of 3rd place by the end of the season And yet some people think they are ‘dreadful’. How I long for us to be just as dreadful.

Galvanised after relegation just like we didnt and I think we need to look at the Boardroom for answers to that one

I agree with everyone who says this is the worst stoke squad ever. I feel embarrassed watching them play for us Ever really? Worse than the Asprey side that were relegated with 17 points? Worse than the Alan Ball side? Worse than the Brian Little side? Worse than the Bates,Kamara and Durban side that were relegated in the first season at the Brit? Come on things aren't great at the minute but the worst side ever is absolute dogshit.

I don't remember asprey but I remember back to Ball and was there during the shit days in the third tier and yes, absolutely I prefer those teams even over this one. It's the sheer gutlessness and lack of desire to win that burns me up

It's the sheer gutlessness and lack of desire to win that burns me up I wasn't around for the Asprey season to be fair but my dad was and tells me it's far worse than this now. The Kamara and Brian Little seasons I was there for and they were far worse than what we are watching now. Agree with the gutlessness and lack of desire though, as I said last night on here that bar three or four of the squad now I would fuck the lot of them off as they couldn't give a shit about the club or playing for our badge and have no will to improve things. They are bad but far from the worst I've seen though mate.

He is doing a fine job - I suppose the real test will come next season when he has to keep Burnley up, unless one of the mega clubs has snapped him up by then.

Was Durban unsuccesfull at Stoke? No not at all he got us promoted and in the spell I referred to it was largely not his fault as we were already fucked when he stepped in but I was discussing the fact that we have seen a worse stoke squad than the current one. That's two of my posts you've jumped on tonight without reading them or having a clue what I'm actually talking about. Are you feeling ok?

If you have been a supporter for 60 years you have seen far worse. I have to say I thought the WBA game was abject surrender and could have been an embarrassing scoreline - performance up there with the bad old days when we were conceding 7s, 8s and 9s. Apart from that game we have done ok and looked competitive in nearly all the other games. Be interested to see who this manager brings in - in the window, I actually think he knows where we are short and I have a little bit of hope. For me, we have got to try and improve the quality all over the park, particularly in defence, we have been making Sunday league errors in almost every game for so long now. Need some mentality monsters in there also. We have got a hatful of players who you watch in one game and think we might have acquired a decent signing and then they are non-existent for the next 5 games. Yesterday Campbell intercepted a pass and he just needed to ping it to Brown and he would have been clean through, instead, he took too many touches and we missed a good opportunity, but for me Brown needs to be ripping Campbells head off for not passing to him in those situations - I want to see players having a pop at each other where appropriate. But we do need more quality everywhere, I think the board think we have a promotion team in waiting, which is worrying. Another window and a bit of hope though - and we should make the 50pt mark fairly comfortably on current form - which might be needed this year - I personally don't think we would have under MON. Do I buy a ticket for Preston - can I be arsed to make the trip - it is a bit of a shocker at home at the moment

I really think first half last night was more than reasonable, we had a good shape, energy and more than matched Burnley. I always felt we couldn't keep up that level of intensity all the match & so it proves. We are getting there slowly, a few tweaks in January and we should see a considerable improvement. So why didn’t he bring on Delap and Powell after 55 mins to keep up the high press? Campbell and Brown were running on fumes by then.

How many of the teams below us have we actually beaten?
Are we sure that there are three teams worse than us?

We’ll just survive, will certainly be close mind. I think that Wigan are probably done. The away game against Blackpool might have some additional significance now. It is scary to think that we have only picked up one point in our two games against Rotherham. If we get to the last ten games of the season and we are still in the mix, then all bets are off. Results always go a little mad down at the bottom during the final straight.

There are, but I wouldn’t want to bet against us getting sucked down purely on lack of confidence, lack of fight and woeful defending and not taking chances. I am seriously worried and people who keep saying look we are not that far from the play offs need a head wobble. We make no changes to this squad and we don’t find some confidence from somewhere then relegation is a massive possibility

We make no changes to this squad and we don’t find some confidence from somewhere then relegation is a massive possibility Agreed. When it gets into the closing straight of the season it is momentum and confidence that can often outweigh quality (especially at the bottom of the table). For the record, we currently have neither of those three things at the moment! 😂 We should be looking nervously over our shoulders. If Sheffield United beat us (as they probably will) and that is followed up by a loss against a Reading side that might be sniffing around the play offs (a possibility) then we might be right down there by the end of the month.

I predicted O’Neill would relegate us if he was manager for pre-season even if he was sacked immediately afterwards.
I don’t think, Pep SAF, TP, Waddo and Herbert Chapman could get us out of this mess.
