We look neat and tidy on the counter. It's the way I'd try and play this team. Indeed Million and Junho are excellent at breaking at pace

Hope Steven’s starts he’s been very solid and he’s a wily experienced pro. Laurent needs to be dropped Our midfield seriously lacks bite and aggression Burger for me looks like he’s lost interest, slows up our midfield. A good defensive midfielder but seems to be losing that work rate at present? Therefore if fit? Junior back in, Thompson midfielder, with Baker & Laurent. I’d stick Lowe on as he can hold the ball for Junho & Leris. It needs to be front attacking football from the off. The first goal is crucial on Saturday. Definitely Baker if solely for his dead ball abilities I’d have a disinterested Burger over Laurent all day long Wouldn’t risk Junior in such an important fixture, he looked miles off when coming back from the African nations

Fair comment... but I reckon that this message board had been more right than wrong on the majority feelings of fans and particularly on the future of the incumbent manager at the time. Sorry, disagree. Living away from Stoke the only way I have of gauging fans' feelings is on here until match days. I often turn up expecting the opposite of what I actually find. Expect a hostile crowd but it is actually quite supportive and patient. Expect fans to want rid of Schumacher but hear them chanting his name. Expect nobody to be renewing season tickets but find every single fan round me is buying again. Expected everyone to be moaning about the team selection v Huddersfield but found most were accepting of the mustn't lose this mentality. I think the majority of fans attending the match are there to enjoy and support and can't be bothered to make comments on the Oatcake or even read it. What is the average number of fans on here at any one time would you say? I'd guess at between 100 and 500. How many regular posters are there? About 50? Out of 20000 that is a very small sample and would not be accepted as a representative sample. . Fifty out of twenty thousand or 0.25% say Schumacher should go! And not even that as several of those fifty want him to stay There was quite a lot of moaning around me yesterday. I also think a lot of the away fans were questioning SS selection but will join in the chant to support the team. Campbell has been poor but some of the abuse he gets is unacceptable, it was embarrassing yesterday.

The last ex Burnley striker we signed worked out great, oh wait…

What kind of roll are we talking about here? Mini roll? Sausage roll? I quite fancy a sausage roll now. Toilet roll

It was my first time visiting Hillsborough. I must admit I was very impressed with their support and looking at the comments on line, I think they thought the same about us. It’s a shame both teams are crap because an atmosphere and attendance on that scale deserves to be at the top of the championship or even in the premier league. In terms of the stadium, three sides are fine, but the stand we were in needs demolishing. I’m amazed it’s still there in its current state considering its history and condition. And those fuckin poles (not the nationality for the avoidance of doubt 😆)

I haven't heard anything after the match as have just got back, but to be brutally honest i'm not interested in anything he has to say anymore. I've seen and heard enough. Sheffield Wednesday did their homework on us and him and their sole tactic in the first half was to play passing triangles around Thompson to get in behind him time and again, because they knew how to beat it and knew how we'd line up. In a team that is bereft of creativity and goals the last thing you do is coach it out of them by setting up so negatively. Fair enough mate but he said that his assistant Peter Kenwright predicted the way they’d set up after watching the last half an hour against Norwich and hence why he played a back 3.I agree we were lucky not to be at least 2 down and maybe we got lucky unlike last Saturday against WBA but we live to fight another day Was a horrendous setup, no shots on target and blessed to go in level. Interesting to see what he does Saturday

The bloke is nothing short of a disgrace to the shirt. Yet again, a non performance where this time he let a 34 year old Barry Bannan run rings round him, and yet again we had the old throwing the arms up to the crowd routine when he needs to look no further than the mirror. Seriously, get him gone out of this club. A complete charlatan. 1000% Insipid weak physically and mentally BB ran the midfield some of his lay off passes from the outside of the boot we very nice, we have a moany weak windbag

We were atrocious. Don’t let the result fool you. Anyone who was there would agree I’m sure. I was and the first half especially was truly abysmal Staggeringly shite

Thought he took the goal extremely well, ball was spinning like crazy when it came to him. Could be an absolutely crucial point.

Great away support had to leave in extra time as I’ve a flight from Birmingham at 19.45.
Should have played like we did in second half, all game, would have beaten them

Absolutely shit.
So lucky not to be behind.
Where the fuck are we gonna score from, hopefully Baker has a worldly.
Pathetic showing almost to a man

If it’s nil nil I’ll make toffee apples outta my balls 😆 It could be. Quick tip, let the toffee cool down first. Less burning. If it’s nil nil I’ll coat them with boiling toffee and let you blow on them to cool them down…😀

Not worried about bullying as such Dozy play yes The goal we concede far too often is the quick ball in behind, can't see Wednesday doing that Obviously play like we did v Swansea we will lose to anyone but we saw after Norwich debacle an excellent response Think this might be 0. 0 If it’s nil nil I’ll make toffee apples outta my balls 😆

One of the worst captains we've ever had. Neil wants his arse handing to him for this. SS equally culpable Should have stripped him of it

Post by terryconroysmagic on Apr 10, 2024 22:43:20 GMT
Give the guy a start on Saturday, With Mmaee out, we have no one to hold the ball up and get us up the pitch, Wesley will actually be able to hold the ball up and win headers when we need to get out and get up the pitch. Ennis cant do it and Campbell cant or wont do it. Give him ago, He will also offer us something at set pieces. Yes we are now that desperate. He can’t head the ball, can’t shoot, is slow as fuck and has shown zero to suggest he’d be any use. It’s a mess but Wes isn’t the answer to the mess

I’ve shelled out a small fortune to get my daughter to this game, hoping against hope for a point

Maybe even goal difference I think we will lose Saturday but in the unlikely event we beat Plymouth we might just stay up The last games we lost Lost at Cardiff away 2-1 then beat Middlesbrough at home 2-0 Lost at Leeds 1-0 then beat Preston away 1-2 Lost at home to Norwich 0-3 then beat Hull away 0-2 Lost at Swansea 3-0 ??????? On tonight’s showing be are going down, depending on the ineptitude of 2 other teams to save us
