Some of the absolute throbbers on here need to grow up, SS and the players getting dogs abuse at HT during a relegation battle ffs. I honestly believe some of you would love us to go down, SS has inherited another shite group of players, Ricky Martin has left. Give the bloke some time to build a squad for Christ's sake. Our only aim now is to stay in this league, sick and tired of absolute throbbers thinking they are the next pep. Grow up. home form has been wank because we make it intimidating for our own player, clowns on here can’t seem to grasp that concept and think that these last 5 years have just been a coincidence and it’s never our fault, these past 5 managers and 100s of players must all be the problem Bless them 🤣

If you don't like people having opinions that don't match your own - then football is probably not your sport.
Is throbbing a sport - if so you could take that up.
People have the right to complain and whinge about everything to do with the club at the moment - from top to bottom.

Not saying it’s right but some booing was inevitable given the first half performance (though I was in the concourse when half-time whistle blown and you couldn’t hear it so can’t have been that bad). But agree personal abuse of Schumacher ridiculous and unneeded.

Stoke fans, proud to be the 12th man and the creators of the “Bear Pit” atmosphere, proud to be recognised as the 12th man playing our part to help our team over achieve. Feedback from notable ex players commenting on what a difference we made.
Fast forward to now and our new Director Super Johnny Walters who asked us to get behind the team to give them a lift and confidence. Points out how important it is to the players.
We can’t have it both ways, we can’t take the credit lauded upon us for the atmosphere we created to drag a team over the line and not accept that when we turn that has no impact.
Are the fans to blame for all our problems, of course not, but equally we can hardly take any credit either.
Some real snowflakes amongst our supporters too, anyone taking offence at Schumacher’s comments needs to give their head a wobble, it was in context with the booing he got at half time and merely pointing out what many of our ex stars have said.

Starting with Leris and Ennis at home against one of the worst teams in the league is a nonsense. Add that to the recent home defeats against Leicester, Coventry, and Norwich when his team selections also set us up to fail I fully understand why some people boo. We’ve suffered through some tedious shit at home this season and Schumacher never seems to learn from his mistakes, setting us up with a line-up that’s obviously going to produce more tedious shit.

The standards are so low. You can’t actually care. I’m not forgetting merely remembering how it was and how we proudly bragged about the part we all played. We are not playing our part now, we should have kicked off earlier on previous managers our apathy under Jones and Neil led to their extended stays. During the match though we can make a difference, as pointed out by Walters himself. I’m on a planet where it’s pretty clear that we are not playing our part, we’re not the root cause of the problems as you point out, but we’re not helping either. My standards are pretty high as it goes, I expect a degree of effort and I do care, not sure how you can say I don’t care, not knowing me. Seems like you think that we as supporters have no impact on our teams or our oppositions performance then? A different view to those that have played them?

It was very good for a season but after that no different to any other club.

Disagree, seems to be learning, thought he got it right yesterday, pre match, although it clearly wasn’t and changed at half time. Last six games have been far more pragmatic and he’s moved us closer to safety. He came changed it, got it wrong, we dropped down league, changed back and we’re now looking far better. Far more confidence in him than I had in Neil and Jones.

Far more confidence in him than I had in Neil and Jones. I don’t buy the notion that he tried to get us playing more expansively and it failed so he had to go cautious. It gets repeated a lot on here. Firstly his early attempts to be more expansive produced some positive results. We were unbeaten in seven league games. Secondly his attempts to be cautious have largely failed. The “safe” team selections at home to Leicester, Coventry, and Norwich yielded a cumulative 9-0 defeat and were horrific to watch. All games we played with a back five and a supposed pragmatic approach. I don’t understand how people look at those two things and think “yep, playing it safe is his only option if we want to pick up points”. I think a lot of people are so desperate for Schumacher to work out (don’t get me wrong I really want that too) that they perform some impressive mental gymnastics to try to justify his mistakes as sensible decisions.

Take a look at some of the Instagram posts after the Hull game to see what it means to SS. Trouble is if we had drawn on Friday and beaten Huddersfield everyone would have a different mindset. Short sighted threads from the moaning brigade.
We have taken 10 points from the last 6 games thats 55.5% points haul, which equates to 1.8 points per game. You moaners still not happy with that ??
That would be 83 points for the season over 46 games - that would secure a play off spot !!!! And you moaners are still booing ?????
SS is doing this with a unbalanced squad having to work within the FFP guidelines in January
Hope my basic maths wasnt too confusing for the moaning brigade !!!

In our first season ( maybe first 2 seasons) in the Prem, the home support was a definite factor in helping a limited, but totally committed, team gain the results needed to stay up.
The 12th man created an atmosphere that won points. Anyone at the Man City, Arsenal, Liverpool and Blackburn games ( there are probably more) will surely acknowledge the crowd was a factor in driving Stoke players on, and in intimidating opposition players into failing to give their best.
The crowd at Stoke can make a material difference to results ; that is a rare thing. To get this level of support, the players need to show they care at least as much as the fans do.

The only thing that means anything is the league position. It’s a shame that you’re willing to accept being where we are, clinging to a sample of games rather than looking at the bigger picture. I bet if we got relegated you’d try to spin it into a positive.

But if the fans can't boo when they are losing at half time to a team in the relegation zone after watching one of the worst home records in world football for the last few years then when can they?

I can understand supporters being impatient generally after years of being one of the worst home teams in the country, if not Europe or the wider professional game globally.
However no one should be having a go at Schumacher, who's been doing a decent job with what he's got.
