Once again the master tactician brings on a ah extra defender to go 5 at the back on 80 minutes.
Once again we concede and lose at the death.
The guys a comedy genuis.
Time to go.

What was he actually trying to do?
The payout is the only thing that makes sense.
Why would you try to shut up shop?

I'm assuming he thought it was a way to get two up top while staying solid at the back which is fucking barmy. It's two in a row he's shit it against crap teams, I can't understand what he's thinking.

He was terrified of 4 losses on the bounce and his fear caused all of them to happen. He's lost and it shows. He simply cannot be allowed to continue with his self inflicted shit-show.. thing is can John 'Paitence' Coates see what's clear for all to see?

Definitely settled for the draw again. Complete and utter moron did he really think 0-0 vs Sheff We’d would save his bacon.

Coates is a massive part of the problem here, like the players turn up and don’t give a shit, AN knows how gullible Coates is and his job is safe regardless of results. The fans are the only ones that suffer

It's not even like we're anywhere near good enough to play the game out for a point! Settling for a point against the leagues bottoms side is nothing short of shameful!

I have to say lately burger has to be one of the worst midfielders ever to play for stoke. Didn't find a stoke shirt again. And a lot of you on here can't pipe up about it either because although I'd never heard of him, like a lot of our signings in the summer, there were plenty on here having a wank over signing him. Unless I'm missing something and he quickly picks up then I have to say he's useless

It would explain Simkins ludicrously ponderous goal kicks as well My mate who sits near the dugouts said that Neil was constantly giving Simkin the ‘slow down’ ‘calm it down’ signal before they scored. I have no idea if this is right or not but I can’t believe a 19 year old lad took it on himself to take goal kicks at a snails pace when we were drawing to the bottom team at home.

It would explain Simkins ludicrously ponderous goal kicks as well AN was gesturing to Simkin with his palm flat to the ground as though urging him to waste time. I’ve supported AN, but today even I can see he has come to the end of his time at SCFC.

When it happened the 3 cbs didn’t have a clue. 2 challenging for the same ball and the chaos that ensued is what ultimately led to their goal.

Wesleys header back towards our own half from the goal kick pretty much cost us the points.

I’ve supported AN, but today even I can see he has come to the end of his time at SCFC. I was getting more and more annoyed by Simkin taking so long to take the goal kicks. The only way I could rationalise it was that he was a young lad who had never played at this level before. I just couldn’t understand why the manager or the players weren’t giving him a bollocking and telling him to hurry up. It never even crossed my mind that with 10 minutes to go at 0-0 at home to the worst team we are going to play all season that he was being TOLD to slow it down. I’m genuinely in a state of shock.

Even the normally completely anodyne Sohail on the wireless was tearing his hair out about the lack of urgency in the goal kicks. That’s quite clearly instruction and it’s unpardonable, how we haven’t announced it already I don’t know

Haven't taken to Sohail so much from his milquetoast away commentary, but he went right up in my estimation with how pissed off he got about that.
