[b There is no evidence the recruitment has done anything but failed .1 we are worse now than before we recruited. 2 we still don't score enough. 3 we still concede easily 4 we lack physicality. 5 we lack leadership It's been a car crash We are not worse than before we recruited that is absolute tosh we have better players the rest is down to tactics/set up of the manager. We actually have younger players who have not cost the earth and should be more value in later years as they improve junho prime example. I agree a decent manager would know our best 11,hiw to set up and get a tune out of what we have and far more points on the board. I wouldn't trust this fool with another window

Beg to differ I see nothing that suggest we are better only rose coloured specs sees these players as improvements , results certainly don’t I ain't got rose tinted specs seen enough of stoke over 50 odd years seen lots of shit this isn't good either far from it but the players are the best bunch we've had since relegation my opinion of course.. Great. Looking forward to us getting at least 63 points this season.

This on the face of it seems absolute scandalous from the club? it’s the same for any semi professional footballers , they normally take insurance out to cover such injuries

If it was a player in the mens team they wouldn't expect him to pay from his own pocket. They are either serious about the women's team or they aren't.

No. I don’t give a monkeys about women’s football If Stoke City Ladies won the Womens Super League or whatever it is I still wouldn’t care a jot Why the fuck were even running a women’s team I have no idea. I hope we aren’t spending any money on It which could be going towards the proper team I appreciate some people might not like that view but there it is

Have the owners been informed about state of her injury? Have they refused to pay? It doesn't really tell the full story.

Thankfully it’s gaining some traction on Twitter so they should be shamed into doing it. Makes you wonder what goes through their fucking heads at times.

Saw some stats the other day saying the amount of ACL injuries in the womens game being significantly higher than the mens game, why is this the case? Physiology of women different? Physical demands?
In this case, is it because contractually she is a semi-professional player and it would be similar for a semi-pro male?

Off the field Stoke City have done many many excellent things in the past and of late. They've frozen ticket prices again (17th year!!) Free away travel Building a fan zone Moving the away fans Supporters involved in designing the kit The list goes on
They are not going g to get everything correct nor do everything that is universally popular, so with that I'm mind I won't join in knocking the club that does a lot more good than bad

To still be playing at Norton is a joke, too. The same Norton where an academy match was postponed tonight 20 minutes before KO tonight against a team who had travelled a fair way.

Potentially, more games on artificial surface perhaps too. In our case the pitch at Emery Stadium / Norton is excellent as our ground staff maintain it. Slightly separate topic but could be relevant, I think the sport would be more entertaining on a similar sized pitch / goals for their athletic ability. Could this be an impact? Not sure
