It's a long time since I posted on here but I feel I have to comment, after multiple manager changes a complete squad change and still there's little fan satisfaction. The only things left are the board of directors and us the fans that need changing, we all know that our recent success was due to having a great chairman, a manager who got the do or die spirit of the fans behind the squad of players, whilst fighting relegation from the second tier. The team is what we have for the rest of the season, it cannot be coincidence that the home form is so abysmal, the players do not want to play at home due to the first mistake made attracts mega abuse. Where is that 12th man spirit gone, everybody hates us but we don't care?

We would be in division 2 without the Coates Family - so many ungrateful “so called supporters” with shit for brains - “Unbelievable Geoff” as Kammy would say We are heading back there soon. We've had six years of a steady decline. 91 players recruited in five seasons. If that doesn't go to show utter incompetence for judging players on ability then I don't know what does. Also, why is it ungrateful to be pissed off at the club being run poorly?

I don't condone abuse at all, I don't think many, or more than a minute minority, have been abusing our own players.

Yep, we basically sit in silence and watch in incredulity at what is unfolding before our eyes at most home games. About as feisty as it gets is the odd grumble or a weak chant of “we’re fucking shit” which resurfaced yesterday after disappearing since Neil was booted out. I think they get off extremely lightly in all honesty.

If you want to get relegated carry on by all means, the proof is there for all to see, the players are scared of making mistakes at home. I hear certain players who are low on confidence getting dogs abuse that they can obviously hear. Does it help, No!

If you are going for a 50-50, put your all into it. If you lose the ball, chase back for it. If you go to take a throw in, sprint across and try to catch the other team off guard with a quick throw. Fans will cheer and encourage. That’s not exactly that hard to do.

He thinks because he owns the club,he can do the job that needs a Football person.
Would he employ a Stoke fan to do it, no of cause he wouldnt,so why does he think he can?

Yep he needs to get someone in that he can shadow and learn how its done. And maybe in a few years he'll have the experience and skills required. The man needs help as currently the job is too big for him. And there's no shame in that. Its a job that only a small minority of people can actually do. I know I couldn't do it that's for sure.

I'm not one for bawling at our players when they make a mistake, but I am pretty pissed off with undertaking a 350 mile round trip to see one or more of them clearly not give it their all. Arrogant little shits.

If you cannot find anything upbeat to say then just don’t say anything I disagree. Obviously there are some who go way over the top in their rants. But there are plenty who are trying to be constructive. My theory is a message board is supposed to garner a wide range of views for discussion and debate. But that aside lets be honest here. We are in a very bad place all things considered. A lot of money has been generously chucked at project Stoke. Yet we're getting worse. Does that not cause you some concern? It should do if you ask me. Imagine deciding to refurbish your home to make it a better place to live. Yet the more money you spend on it the worse the house gets. You'd get to a point where you'd ask yourself what the hell is going wrong surely. We're a supposed big fish with clout in a small pond yet the fairground goldfish are stealing our lunch. Its not a good look and something needs to change soon.

That's 7 goals at home since the first game of the season. What on earth is there to be upbeat about? The fact we've just sat by and hardly made a noise about the continual decline in the club is exactly why we're on our way down. The club has had an easy ride for far too long.

Where is that 12th man spirit gone, everybody hates us but we don't care? You're absolutely right, I've said it before and I'll say it again. There is a symbiotic process between the fans and the players that is evident in our away performances as opposed to our home performances. Our away support is absolutely fantastic, getting behind the fans through good and bad. Recognising that they have a part to play in supporting the players, getting behind them and pushing them forward. Our home support is utter shit, with men as weak as piss. Players play poorly, fans boo, players feel anxious and stressed from boos, players play worse, fans boo louder. The results support this hypothesis, if you can't recognise the issue here then you're part of the problem. Fact is, the away support have been there from the start, the majority of our home support jumped on the bandwagon when we got promoted and have known no different. If we had a home full of our away support we'd be in a lot better place. Absolute boys opposed to men.

The last away game I attended was QPR, which wasn't exactly the best match day* experience in terms of a bouncing away end cheering on the lads, when we witnessed first hand the real frailties of this squad of players (regardless of the manager).

As opposed to those who attend home and away. The only friends I have got who attend home games have been doing so for decades, and they don't slate the players. They sit and watch, cheer when we play well or score, but for for a long time now, grimace.

Away fans have got a lot of money in the bank with me mate, they're allowed an off day. Our survival will be dependent on on our away days which is a bleak thought.
