No over reaction at all it was an appalling performance driven by an appalling selection and planning and thinking from the latest all fur coat and no knickers progressive coach . he has done it before regularly too sunderland , Norwich cardiff , to name 3 he is abjectly erratic and out of his depth we have no choice to stick now but it was an error nt to remove him and it’s likely to cost us the ultimate price You are everything that is wrong with this club. Full of negativity and no positivity. This club for the vast majority of its history has been at the level that it finds itself. I have complete faith that we gave what it takes to escape the situation we are in! That certainly isn't" Happy clapping" .

Actually factually incorrect this is not our median level nor Is the one below I'm not actially negative either just describing what I've seen for the last 8 years and actually been spot on

Over reaction? Possibly, it's not the "worst performance I've ever seen" and other such comments. We'll leave that to Millwall 2-0 against 9 men, 4-1 and 5-1 against Oxford United, Birmingham 7-0 or Wigan 4-0 a selection of how much worse things can get. Some posters are too young thankfully to have that on their Stoke City supporting CV.
However my worry is that the level of seasoned viewers were pretty upset yesterday, despite the interventions of an incompetent official, this was a rank bad Stoke performance. It was bad, players not contributing or "too tired". Wouter and Bae were pretty hopeless and shouldn't have started at all - the level of skill even though they were tired is a worry they couldn't pass wind let alone a ball. Tactics were poor, so much so pundits "didn't know what we were doing", you're not the only ones!
Overall it's the nature of the defeat, we needed to be on it, tactically and then effort wise. Neither were present. Swansea were a decent compact team and it was enough to win a game of football just those two features "decent" and "compact". We couldn't muster anything to squeak a point out of that.
We'll have to wait until the end of Saturday's match for any reaction. I'm trusting it won't be another over reaction - that will be added to that horror list above if it is.

We've recently won at Preston and Hull yet so many dwelling on this as how the remaining games will pan out. Good performance V West Brom, a game we should have won
Hopefully the kick up the arse we need for tomorrow's game. We need 1 win from 4 possibly and Swansea is behind us now.

For me I don't think the fans happy clapping and getting behind them is going to make that much difference as they're a rag tag group chucked together with barely any evident chemistry or affiliation to us. We're missing ugly scary bastards throughout the team - I'd take a Razor Wallace, or even a James O'Connor (who I couldn't stand at the time) You'll be saying you can't wait for Pearson's return next...

It was pissing it down and we tried to play tippy tappy crap against a club that absolutely hates a physical game. It’s a shame that none of the Stoke team can deliver a physical game anymore anyways, I suppose.

No mate can't stand him - plays and looks like an alcoholic tramp who snorts monkey dust before defecating in discarded pizza boxes. I mean proper scary bastards - not pretend ones.

Spot on. Some fans don't realise that the opposing team have trained all week, planned and want to win the game every bit as much as we do. Conditions were awful but Swansea adapted much better to it and were the better team all night. SS needed to be aware that vids, Bae and Manhoef would be too lightweight on that pitch. They needed an extra bodies at the back like Wilmot and Junior and Campbell upfront doing the donkey work A Pulis styled 0-0 would have been better. Regardless of the conditions I've been saying since WBA that Junho needs a rest. He collapsed at the end on Saturday in front of us and had to be helped to his feet by Laurent. He can't keep putting in these Herculean performances for 90 minutes twice a week. Seeing the conditions in my opinion he should have been dropped to the bench. You're absolutely right, what's the point of having a big squad of midfielders if they are not used. I'd still shut up shop tomorrow and use Million and Bae for 2nd half subs.
