It’s not even the fact we’ve lost it’s the fact that tactically we’ve lied down and rolled out the red carpet from minute 1. No subs till 88 mins. We’re in deep trouble…

Did AN tell these players we can't win so try and keep the score down? No, he told them to defend and take advantage when you can. (Guessing obviously) Unfortunately we messed up what few chances we had.

Honestly would’ve been better to just not use subs. The late triple sub is showing him in a worse light.

3 subs at 88 mins, and 2 nil down at 77 mins, is an insult.
Get rid of this clown.

Could've been worse. Played out pretty much as expected.
Tedious as a spectacle watching a knock-off Man City inflict Chinese water torture on you.

I can let him off this one, away at a team that is flying at the top winning 10 out of 11, nobody really expected us to get anything today, but his overall record of 1 win in 8 is inexcusable, he’s got to be on thin ice ?
It seems no matter who’s in charge, the club is just stuck in a mire and can’t move forward, 18 new players and it’s still the same old crap!

Stoke in Freefall. Can’t believe the radio Stoke commentary team who seemed pleased that we only lost 2/0. Alex Neil needs to go now - he clearly is out of his depth with this team. Tactical inept - no subs til 5 minutes from time and no Vidigal? What is he doing?

He can rest during the international break But why risk him getting injured further, I can understand why you'd bring him on but I don't think the risk would have outweighed the benefit. Points mean prizes.

What must the new foreign players be thinking after the shite and promises they must have been told to get them here?! Kerching.

Well done Alex for waiting until 87 minutes to make a change and then leave the absolutely appalling Johnson on the pitch.
My colours are truly nailed to the mast know.
He is a wank manager .
MON ,despite it turning sour and him losing it is loads better.

5 defenders and first choice front 3 out. 2 keepers on the bench.
Not sure what people expected today but I thought it was decent. If he can get the same level of effort out of his first choice players we’ll definitely move up the league.

Time to go Alex.
When the only excitement the away fans is from singing “we’ve lost/got the ball” your time is up.
Utter dogshit with no upturn in sight.

Typical overreaction we were never going to achieve anything today with the number of players we had missing. I honestly believe we will turn it around but it won't be quick so get used to it.

Too scared of Leicester for me today, they didn’t have to get out of 1st gear & could have easily put 4 past us.
Negative management imo.

It would be better to see us going gung ho to surprise everyone in games like this. Or any game. The fans deserve much better.

I can understand why AN might have been reluctant to sub on Videgal...but i honestly think at about 70 minute mark we were growing into the game, and if we'd brought some attacking subs on then like Haks, Videgal and maybe even Wes, we had a punchers chance of getting at least an equaliser.

Then why not have a go at it? Instead we sat back and tried not to lose by 5. Let the lads play if we were never getting anything anyway!

Just got in …. Why did Neil make 3 subs on 88 minutes? That’s doesn’t even give them a run out and why didn’t he make changes earlier before they went 2 up. Those subs don’t make any sense at all. Oh well at least the bikes are clean & serviced.

I don’t get how anyone not happy with that performance is overreacting. So so poor once again, yes we have injuries but what team doesn’t. We are in this mess because of poor management end of. As a club and fans we have to stop accepting such poor performances, get some pride back in the club. We just lose games now and it’s deemed acceptable, I don’t get it
