Right I've got my tin hat on but can't say I'm bothered about the flack I'm about to get.....
Like ive said in the title some stoke fans are pathetic reading some of the comments in the match thread..... some of you are unbelievable.
I'm not sure what you expect... yes Watford were down to 10 men but you feel we've got a god given right to just roll them over.
Overall our general play is far better than it was a few week ago, playing with much more purpose and higher tempo and a desire to win.
I just don't know what some of you expect.
Yes there's a lot of room for improvement but it doesn't happen over night....
The new gaffers just come in and taken 5 points from 9, We are now unbeaten in 5.
Jesus just give it a rest and get behind the team.
I can't believe all the moaning at times

Imagine football fans coming onto a football message board and giving an opinion/discussing tonight’s game. I know Dino, start a petition to get such boards abolished and may we all live in silence.

It's disappointment and a successful club needs that. Any manager would also propogate that mentality too as it's a winning mentality.
Teams should be beating 10 men all day long, especially when playing against them for that amount of time.
Happy clapping it will only engender a mentality of the type we've seen for the last 6 years, where a 15th place finish will do. It won't and performances like that tonight against ten won't do either.
Sure, keep it in perspective but let's not hold back and accept it. Some of those performances second half were not acceptable.

Get us away from relegation, sign a GK and CB give the kids a game and we can push on. |

We will have disappointing games and results until Ste gets us fitter and more of a unit. Some of the criticism is very harsh. Just need to get behind the whole team.

None of us work in pro football, and if your opinion was always right then maybe you should be managing Real Madrid or Man City not typing away on here every day of the week. |

He doesn't even know his best team yet, he hasn't had time to learn half of their names. He has trying what he want to try and is certainly motivating whoever he plays. I'm over the moon about our prospects without looking for promotion this season. We already have a decent squad and a couple of players in vital positions, a manager/ head coach that knows how he wants make us look a very good bet for the near future.

Most fans will accept that what we have just witnessed exposed so many problems it isn’t funny. Suck it up sweetheart. I don’t hear anyone criticising the manager. |

I thought from the moment they went to 10 our players lost their heads and couldn't get a foothold into the game. Bar the odd bit of overplaying we didn't trouble them at all. Think quite a few of the players that came on in the second half should be out of the door pretty quickly. |

I don’t see much reason to moan at anything. Watford were still a threat with 10 men, and we struggled with the subs we rightly had to make.
Take a point and move on, especially away at Watford. Of course you’d like to think 10 men should be cast easily aside but they weren’t and it’s not a disaster. You know Schumacher will be disappointed that we didn’t capitalise, but it’s a really strong start overall.

Mmaee and Bae really should have scored once they’d gone down to 10. Chances I’d expect any team to score against us tbh. Keeper did ok on both though tbf.

Some of those performances second half were not acceptable. I think I saw a team trying too hard after they went to ten men and rushing things. It was not helped by the lack of quality subs and ours killed the game for us. We were ragged but Johnson, no pass forward, no move, Hoever, lost in space and never in position along with Wes, static and embarrassingly slow totally disrupted us and killed all momentum. Schumacher willl have learnt a lot from that and I hope it will be addressed in January. 10 men teams can be very difficult to beat at times and I think it was one of those especially for a team that is just learning how to play football again. |

Some of those performances second half were not acceptable. Unacceptable performances or just exhaustion? I thought we looked totally shattered at the end of the game. Pearson off injured, Haksabanovic and Bae totally shattered. Any team would be weaker in midfield when you have to withdraw your best player to keep him fit for the next game. I'm no expert, but fitness has been a fundamental issue for me for three years now. The manager also has had his first taste of the Wesley puzzle, where we struggle to maintain any kind of foothold when he enters onto the pitch. I'm not sure how to get the best out of him. |

Don't get too upset by the match day thread, at various points you can guarantee that the following players are shit:
Bonham
Hoever
McNally
Wilmot
Rose
Stevens
Gooch
Johnson
Pearson
Laurent
Burger
Vidigal
Mmaee
Gayle
Wesley.
The only players who escape the wrath are Junior, Baker and Bae because they haven't played too often but the more Bae plays the more shit he becomes according to the experts.
Baker's a fall guy waiting to happen as soon as he starts regularly though.

I'm happy with a point, it's a bastard of a place to play under floodlights in a night match and Watford have coruscating pace on the break. |
