Much, much better today and great to see.
I'm very happy to be proven wrong.
It's all about opinions, some you win, some you lose, move on.

Absolute rubbish. pwingy was an arsehole like yourself, Jesus Mc is fine. An arsehole I maybe Gary but I don't have cartoons taking the piss out of me with me as the star of the show. It's a thing called humour, you wouldn't know anything about it. I'd rather people laugh and take the piss than be a boring fucker like you.

Or you could look at it this way he wasn't quick enough to get it š What a bizarre comment. Do you expect players to pass the ball in front of team mates into the space based on how fast they wish they were? Mmaee is a quick as he is. And that applies to every player. Dead rightš Poor play by Burgerš

I thought Mmaee was good today, some nice touches and vidigal grew into it and played well overall. Should of done better with the one chance but made up for that. Consistency please. Well played.

Your original post highlighted that they "just needed time to acclimatise". Your follow up to this was that "Big Al" got them firing on the first day of the season. So, which hill are you choosing to die on. A) They needed time to acclimatise, and the new manager has succeeded faster and more effectively than the other. Or B) "Big Al" had them firing from the word go, but, made them worse in the following months. For your reference, I don't really care who the manager is, I just want to see my team to do well. However, what I am trying to fathom is sense of the points you are making, as they seem somewhat inconsistent in their execution. He hasnāt got a clue and has been incessantly trolling since being called out for saying SS was in must win game territory while bemoaning the fans lack of patience with Neil. Itās just comical now I wouldnāt pay jack shit to anything that clown vidigal posts because itās either AN himself or his partner. He canāt abide the fact that his āmessiahā AN was a useless, incompetent tosser and outright failure and he therefore wants every other manager we appoint to do the same in an effort to try and make his love child AN not seem so wank!!

Can you see enough goals in the changing room? Schumacher: Absolutely. But again, youāve got to get people in the right positions. The eights have got to score more goals, theyāve got to get forward and get into dangerous areas. I thought Ryan Mmaee, by the way, was brilliant. I know he didn't score but his all-round game today was excellent. He led the line for 90 minutes on his own. I think he gave the ball away once, maybe twice in the whole game, and he was a threat all the time and just the shots that he had unfortunately were blocked. If he keeps putting himself in those positions, he'll score the goals that were going to need. www.stokesentinel.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/stoke-city-millwall-live-stream-8993313One word. Deluded,,,I counted at least 10 times he had control of the ball but gave it away either by turning the wrong way or second touch terrible What else was he meant to say, honestly? A brand new manager arrives at the club to a set of forwards who are still relatively new to English football and are, presumably, a bit low on confidence. The manager wants to play attacking football, and his short-term priority is to get the squad performing during a busy Christmas period. He's only had a few days to train with them before a big match against a fellow bottom-half struggler. Does he: A) Walk through the door all guns blazing, tell the players they're all shit in private, and berate them to the local press? B) Put his arm around them, try to find some positives, praise them in public, and try to get them all pulling in the same direction for the next fixture three days later? Anybody who thinks that option A) was ever a choice has clearly never been a line manager, in any profession, in their lives. After a bit of canny man-management, Mmaee had a decent game today and set up a goal. If people on this board had their way with him, they'd have totally destroyed his confidence after the Millwall match.

Like I said on another post, just want him to tell the truth or say nothing publicly, he can put his arms around him and give him a kiss,I couldn't care less but if it goes tits up then he's got to then explain to the fans why he got it wrong about the player, let's all not get to carried away,I agree he played better not brilliant as some say but he needs to do this more often then maybe he can convince some of us,

Goal aside, still not overly sure on Vidigal. He's a winger that scores goals and does nothing else. I honestly can't remember a single good chance he's created. His crossing is appalling. It's a huge part of why Mmaee is the creator and not the scorer IMO.

No, he's definatley the same irrating fart, it's just now he's a slightly more mature stale irritating fart haha That's a bit like Cyril Smith calling someone fat You might not have noticed wingy, but it's you and the other dullards that follow me around. I love a good wind up you'll have to excuse me for that, big Al & must win games I do because I don't like you very much and I know it gets on your tits, its a dislike well earned by months of derogatory comments directed towards my good self. For someone who can't wind up a swatch you and the dullards are following in mick the malicious love child's footsteps. Now you and the 3 Ronnie's do me a favour, piss off and stop following me around like a bad smell before I add you to the collection of my blocked jar of hearts who i miss like diarreah at the alter. It's Christmas incase you havn't noticed a time of reflection, a time of peace and tranquility, a time of celebrating the birth of Jesus. A milion time of happiness and joy. I know you and the dullards probably didn't get many Xmas cards but don't blame it on me

No assists, 13th in the squad for crosses per 90, 13th in the squad for key passes per 90. I'm hoping SS can get a creative tune out of him.

I'm hoping SS can get a creative tune out of him. Heās not a winger, heās a wide forward. We donāt have wingers. Vidigalās role is to either assist or score. Heās our top scorer, so heās doing part of his role somewhat okay. I donāt mind him being greedy in front of goal. Mmaee doesnāt look like the type of striker to win headers or outmuscle defenders on the ground in the box anyways. To me, he looks like someone who will score goals from through balls and playing on the shoulder.

So weāve seen the best and the worst, the floor and the ceiling (maybe?) of these guys now. Letās hope they kick on, but equally letās not meet here at full time every game to laud or lambast them too much. That kinda short term vision wonāt help anyone, theyāre about 5 months into their time at the club and will honestly need the season to acclimatise fully. All we can do is support them and hope we see more of yesterdays performances under Schumacher.

Maybe Iām wrong and heās on the radar of a couple of Premier League teams. But I think thatās unlikely. Definitely has ability but jury is out on if he has the levels of focus and discipline to reach the highest level.
