Saw the way he reacted myself. Hopefully he’s realised with this bunch that you simply can’t polish a turd 💩

Fuck me yous are miserable. Definitely winning this league with our team... Butland, BMI, Shawcross, Allen, Etebo, Bauer, Pieters are all top league players. Oh dear. We had so much optimism in July last year didn’t we!

Just get rid of him he’s caused enough trouble on and off the pitch already. I still can’t belive he’s still wearing the shirt. There are good Stoke fans still not going or not cheering him when they do go because of what he stands for. And before you start to redicule us. People respect him because he stands up for his beliefs. I respect him for that, but why can’t those who oppose his beliefs and are offended by him be respected for standing up for what they believe in. I’m sick and tired of this McLean saga been bought up time and time again and fans arguing about him, the only way it will end is when he is gone and forgotten. We need to stand together as supporters and get behind this amazing new manager, he brings nothing to Stoke there are better midfielders out there with no toxic baggage Rubbish ,there are no fans not going because of McLean Correct. I can’t believe for one minute that any proper Stoke fan would stop supporting and watching their team just because of one players beliefs. If they do then they’re clearly not Stoke fans end of.

Because he didn’t have the calamity Shawcross playing behind him. The stats don’t lie, we’re a much better side without Shawcross in it. Sad considering all he’s achieved at the club but also very true. Was Shawcross playing Tuesday? We looked as bad if not worse at centre back than we have for many years. To be fair neither of them played Tuesday 😜

I would love to have been at that press conference yesterday. It sounded by all accounts a masterclass on how to prepare not just for a football match, but to face each and every team. I'm a bit of a geek and fascinated by tactical analysis and performance statistics. The data he had prepared on Derby is something every club should aspire to. I think the media has made a bit much of this whole spying thing to be honest. What's really the difference between what this chap outside the training ground and a scout at a reserve match taking notes? I favour the ‘let’s score one more then the opposition’ type of tactical analysis myself 😜

That’s the first time I have seen this. The penalty was absolutely stupid, and he has totally let us down. Almost but not quite as bad as Penant v Everton. Not a big fan of Clucas to be honest. Looks like an average Championship player at best (he’ll fit right in at Stoke then!)

BMI was shocking for the first goal. He looked like he was running in treacle trying to get across to their player before he shot. BMI was shocking full stop. And as for his partner 'the invisible man'. We must have the only pair of centre halves who can't head a bleeding football. Or pass, or tackle, or run, or read the game. The list goes on......

To be fair he was playing well right up to when Shawcross came back and was given the Captains armband again. Whether that had any effect on him or not I’m not sure, but he’s not been the same player since.

from yesterday, and i'ts not possible to blame Bauer for a single one of Shrews goals. Goal one. Attack starts at our right, no way through there, and Shrews just passes the ball 20-30 meters to our left with no Stoke-players at sight. Free shot. Goal two. Another attack at our right. Bauer stops his man, Adam has (maybe a little late) his man, Clucas cant cope with the "speed" of his man and makes the penalty. Goal three. At our left. Poor defendig by Tymon and Williams before Shrews nr.8 jogs past three Stoke players to get the ball with BMI nowhere to be seen. Bauer has to choose between two free attackers in front of goal, and rightfully picks the most dangerous man closest to the middle. So when the ball's coming in from nr.8, which nobody (3 or 4 of them) picks up, its easy for him to find the free man at the back post. Poor defending for all 3 goals, but put the blame at the right place. This was Bauers first game for a long time, give him time and he should be the Moritz we knew from Premier League. All of a sudden a bad player overnight? Not for me. BMI was shocking for the first goal. He looked like he was running in treacle trying to get across to their player before he shot.

We need 2 experienced centre halves so that Shawcross, BMI And Williams are just back ups. Sadly I can’t see it happening.

Now if you’d said what chance is there of us getting relegated, it’d be a different story. I can’t see us winning a game at the moment. Is the fact that Jones is trying to change things too quickly putting us in more danger? At least with Rowett (and I know the idiot had to go) you could at least see us picking up a few points. Hope to god Jones can sort this mess out sooner rather than later.

Shrews first goal Shrews third goalTalk about time and space !! Watching the game last night it was quite frightening seeing our central defenders lumbering all over the place. If you look at their first goal I was in line with the edge of the area on row 4 and you could clearly see that BMI saw the player going for the ball when it was played across the edge of the area. He then proceeded to jog and I mean jog over towards their player whilst he got the ball under control, moved forward and hit it. BMI still got nowhere near to closing the player down even though if he’d put even half a sprint in he’d have had a chance. Bone idle defending for both 1st and 3rd goals.

Question is if we can’t shift any of the deadwood this January, which I doubt we will, will the owners plough yet more money into transfers? Can’t see it myself. We’ve been lumbered with some right shite on big contracts and until those contracts are wound down we’re stuck with this squad. Looks like we had better get planning for a big promotion push next season.

What is it with every fucker thinking it's the end of the known universe if we sing Jones? God fucking forbid folks, that we go for someone who actually plays attacking football. League 1 manager or not, Luton are the second highest scoring team in the whole country, and a tight defence to go with that. Yeah I've said I'd have Moyes, but I've said on Twatter, the more I think about this Jones possibility, the more it's really growing on me. It could be an absolute masterstroke if it works out. To be fair Rowetts football at Derby must have been quite attack orientated and therefore can’t have been that bad as they did score 70+ goals last season.

The club statement used the bare minimum of words to cover the sacking, suggesting that relations had completely broken down and we were just happy that the whole saga had come to an end. Never to be mentioned again. Does that mean we can forget that he ever managed our club? 🙏

Let it be known now, that when everyone else has written him off and when we're doing well in a few months time, the crowd are chanting 'Martin O'Neill's barmy army' and the good times are back at Stoke that I wanted him here and (barely) nobody else. I wouldn’t be devastated (like some on here) if it was MON but I’d have to give his post match interviews a miss. They’re as dull as dishwater 😂

I don't understand Jones. All of the problems that Rowett had, but with a smattering of attacking football. Like it or not, there appears to be a contingent of our squad who couldn't give a stuff what a manager from the lower leagues wants them to do. To be fair Rowett also had a smattering of attacking flair before he came to us as well with his Derby team scoring 70+ goals last season. Jones would be Rowett MK2 probably.

Strange how different fans see things isn’t it. At the moment I’m the polar opposite in that I feel we need an experienced man in charge, one who’ll command respect and kick a few arses in the changing room. Can see Jones as Rowett Mk 2 as others have said.
