Well we just had a transfer window. I'm not saying miracles can happen, but MON managed to get the most out of the shit we had for a few months when he joined, Niel has a much much much worse record, and just had a transfer window to at least replace loans with players who were not injured. Like others said he could have give 4-3-3, or changed from 5 at the back to try to get back into the game. He defended a 1-0 loss. Pearson hasn't played regular football for a good while has he? And who scores for us? I’m not disagreeing with anything you’re saying, but I was looking at the bench for a game changer and there was absolutely no one there that could have altered the shit show we witnessed.It’s down to the players as much as it is the manager for me,they are fucking useless….I’ve never felt more detached from a Stoke team in 50 years of following them.It’s a very sad state of affairs. Hard to connect with a team when you have so many loans who aren't your own players too

Dreadful performance today. I'm just waiting to hear AN say that only for the Tymon injury we would have won the game. The team was a disorganised mess with absolutely no idea of how they were trying to play. The contrast with the way that DYCHE organised Everton in a couple of days to play against the runaway League leaders couldn't be greater. And they weren't even Dyche's players. Crazy stuff. Just shows what a proper manager can do

Along with Dyche read Corberan, Carrick, Rosenior, Warne, Taylor at Rotherham
Looks like weve backed a dud

I thought Sarkic did well for his first game. Having seen the replay for their goal he was unsighted and it hit the post on its way in. He was at full stretch. What I particularly liked was his kicking although he very nearly messed up on one occasion. Think he is an improvement but time will tell. Really ? I thought he looked nervous (to be expected) flapped at crosses and didn't demonstrate any sort of domination of his area You must be referring to Bursiks last game.

I've never minded the team losing if they've given it 100% Unfortunately, this isn't the case with this lot. The apathy around this bunch of players and manager is palpable. A very sad state of affairs indeed.

In the end, a narrow 1-0 defeat away to a team who are one of the best outside the Prem doesn’t seem too bad. However, ……………………. I suppose our mission is to survive this season and then have a major rebuild in the summer when the shackles of FFP are loosened. Please god no the idea of Neil buying an entire squad of injured players is just a step too far .

We really are fucking shit aren't we.😡 Yes, but what makes it worse is we have the players to do pretty well, but for some reason they don't show it often enough. Maybe just picking up a very good salary ever month, no matter how they play, is their motivation.

I’ve already accepted we are down, that’s why a miserable fuckin arsehole with nothing positive to say..!! But if by some strange reason there are 3 teams worse than us ( 😂) I will be forever grateful for this..!!!! If I did this at work I’d be bum fucked in the cupboard and sacked.
No excuses, it’s shocking..!!!

The fans have been crying out for a striker for months and it has been obvious to virtually everybody that this is a problem. What has Neil done to address this? Absolutely nothing. So that says to me he does not have the merest clue how to manage a football team! GET RID NOW Mr.Coates because otherwise relegation is assured.

AN said bringing in another striker would have put the likes of Tezgal down the pecking order.
Then why not pick him then? he can't be any worse than the strikers he picks week in week out.

To replace Celina with Thompson with 5 minutes left would be understandable if you're a goal up.
To do it when a goal down was a disgrace and even Pulis wouldn't have done it,certainly not away to Luton Town.
As others have said he is a difficult bloke to take to ,at least if results were decent that wouldn't be an issue.
