He certainly needs to be kept away from the knife drawer tonight. Would he know how to use one?

You’re missing the point, Jim is right about most of his comments, so get in the real world and take your rose coloured glasses off, the place is a shambles from top to bottom

To the poster above who mentioned Tony from Warrington. Radio Stoke used to ring him as well, but like myself, didn't renew after watching the shite they produced, the season we went down. Thank heaven's we didn't renew, having to come down that bloody M6 to watch the obvious rubbish served up nowadays. As I've said on an earlier post, the club has mis-managed the squad (or words to that effect ). It is IMHO an absolute dereliction of duty. We used to sit with some smashing people, who had Stoke at their collective hearts, and it is really sad to see the club on such a mess, it really is!!!!!

He dared to say that Jones is crap out of his depth and cant understand why Stoke fans think he needs more time. One of the more rational calls I thought but then Im not a Jones "Choirboy." Replace rational with moronic and you'd be right.

Jim from Trentham's rants are pretty much what most fans are spouting during that initial post-match period when the disappointment is at it's worst. For some reason though, he feels the need to do it on the radio every week?

I think Jim displays the frustration felt by lots of fans. Bojan starts the game against Forest, we play better than we have for a while, we win. Since then, he doesn’t get a chance until the last ten minutes today, and gets shoved out onto the left side! Against Derby, Jones brings on Fletcher and Williams! Surely we need to know whether Bojan can be a force next season? OR has the decision already been made and Jones doesn’t want to give him the chance of proving him wrong? Jones keeps on about wanting athletes! If I want to watch athletes I’ll go to Northwood Stadium! I want to watch footballers who have brains and skill who can control the ball with one touch, not hod carriers who need four touches!

He needs more time because he has taken over a squad full of shit. Is it that hard for you too understand? You are getting boring with your same shit different day posts.

You do realise we played better against Forest when Bojan went off and he put McClean on to fully utilise the high press....

We did play well against Forest,but Bojan was rightly pulled ,and replaced by McLean who further improved us.Bojan has to make an impression when he plays, and give Jones a decision to make,he is failing to do that. The argument that he, hasn't been given enough game time, is redundant when you consider the impact Verlinden made yesterday, in 70 minutes of game time.

Has your roll in life become slagging of my posts and spouting the same old Jones needs time mantra? Wake up hes out of his depth .We hired a manager to get the best out of a team that had lost its way but had a lot of quality in and around. I didn't realise we had to bin the whole team and build one in (The Div1.) Jones image of Wok ard Work ard mini Pulis image.

Wasn't it accepted on here that Bojan was the worst performer in an excellent team performance against Forest?

Butland Shawcross BMI Adam Allen Etebo Crouch Edwards Woods Pieters Cambell Ince McClean Are you sayng this is the basis of a crap squad ? Maybe on paper, or by reputation, but, a bit like the lazy press who still think "Stoke are a big side", or those fans who thought we would bounce straight back, or even the bookies who made us favourites to do just that, the reality is that these players are no longer able to produce the levels of performance that they once could, or we might have expected them to. Ryan is NOW playing well but his early season form and fitness were a major worry...having Danny Baath alongside him appears to be a major factor in his return to form...signed by NJ BMI is settling in to an OK left back, but with NO forward contribution Adam has had a renaissance under Jones...but can't manage 90 minutes or 3 games in a week Allen is still prone to his headless chicken act, and yesterday his passing was woeful and nearly cost us a few times Etebo is blossoming, under NJ Pieters has always had his detractors on here (not me btw) but is , at best, an OK LB None of the last 3 you mention are pulling up trees So, no, this is NOT a crap squad, yet it is far from being the pool of talent that you seem to be suggesting. Why so many have under performed, for a succession of managers, is both a conundrum and a worry, and might just suggest that these players are not as good as they, you, me and many others thought (or hoped) they were.

Out of interest Son of Stoke you don't originate from anywhere around the Mother Town?

I agree with most of what you say and Im happy that Jones is playing Edwards and Verlinden based on what he is seeing in training.I may be wrong but there is a number of managers who could have motivated this squad to the playoffs which was the Coates "red line" at the start of the season.
