1 17 August 1991 Bradford City A 0–1 7,556
2 24 August 1991 Bournemouth H 1–1 10,011 Biggins 17' (pen)
3 31 August 1991 Peterborough United A 1–1 7,174 Biggins 1'
4 4 September 1991 Shrewsbury Town H 1–0 10,182 Biggins 53'
5 7 September 1991 Darlington A 1–0 4,230 Ellis 57'
6 14 September 1991 Fulham H 2–2 10,567 Biggins 25', Cranson 53'
Macari had a slow start too. Lots of draws. Not many goals. But not many defeats.
Hopefully lightning strikes twice….

I don’t think it’s been a slow start? 🤷♂️

Poor Steven has yet to see a open play goal by one of our players after 3 attempts at home. You wouldn't rule out that being 5 or 6 unless we add forwards before Birmingham |

W2, D3, L1 is not too shabby if I read that right.

I don’t think it’s been a slow start? 🤷♂️ 1 win 4 goals in 4 league games. That its deemed satisfactory by most just shows how bad things had got. |

I don’t think it’s been a slow start? 🤷♂️ In terms of results it has. One win. A defeat. A couple of draws. Admittedly very different circumstances to Macaris start. But quite similar in results. And like Schumacher, the performances from Macari Stoke were characterised by togetherness and character from early on. And like Macari, Schumacher has arrived at a time when the club is at a very low ebb. |

Stick in a queue trying to get in when Bertie scored away at Posh.
Long way to go to miss the goal.

Pretty sure that Peterborough game was Vince Overson’s debut.

Brian Little started with 6 wins so a steady start is probably preferable.

And like Macari, Schumacher has arrived at a time when the club is at a very low ebb. Performances though and there’s been a massive change. We’ve been really good on the whole. The results will come. And actually the results even haven’t been that bad. A good away win. A good home point. A decent away point. And a frustrating home point. |

There were a lot of disappointments that first season under Macari including the run of 3 defeats in 4 later on in the season against Hull,Bury and Torquay but I think we all knew we had the right man to take us forward

However, TP started with 5 defeats and a draw. We lost 4 on the bounce prior to TP’s arrival. Then he started with zero wins in his first 9… L, L, L, L, D, L, D, D, L Then S.Weds… Until that game it was 3 months / 16 games without a win (after last beating Ipswich and the elusive George Burley 🙂) en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/2002–03_Stoke_City_F.C._season |

Hughes got 2 wins and a draw in his first 6 games. I think that is the benchmark.

TP had a wretched start. Ultimately, did amazingly well that season. Wasn’t surprised we survived after hearing his press conference interview on the day he was appointed. Straight into the thick of it and, “You don’t know what your doing” chants the day after at Walsall 🙂 |

I don’t think it’s been a slow start? 🤷♂️ Agreed. We’ve picked up points away and against the second best team in the league. It’s what you’d expect of a top ten team. |

A Stoke player who I won’t name, did a monkey impression to a black Darlington forward by the away end at Feethams. He got torn to pieces by the Stoke support in the vicinity.

During this time there was a Stoke fan who’d go the aways on an MZ motorcycle. Absolute hero for following his team on a pedestrian, East German two stroke commuter. I think his bike got nicked that season.
