I don’t think we’ll get relegated but this squad is bang average. name one player with genuine creativity ? Name one player who can pick a pass and open up a defence ? Name a player with decent pace ? Name a player who will get 10+ goals this season ? Sorry to seem negative but I’m struggling to see many positives right now, this squad is much of a muchness. Think if fit, Duffy and Powell could fulfil the first 2. The 3rd and 4th are a major concern. Maybe gHogan may end up with 10 plus but the lack of pace is alarming. That said, if we were managed better and system was used that suited the players upper mid table should be comfortably achievable

I’m well aware of your opinion of TP so don’t let’s go down that route. Personally I like NJ. I think he’s a honest and capable however I’m really struggling to identify why things are happening which are not taking the club forward, meeting his and our expectations. His record to-date is poor and the question marks over his tenure to date are justified. If there is a stick or twist scenario I’m hoping (with grave concern) that the family will have a clear strategy for the “immediate” future. Again IMHO the EPL is the place to be. Your right when you say “there is something really wrong at this club at the moment and it goes far deeper than the manager” The family really need to take the lead and demonstrate their undoubted business skills to reverse the current malaise we find ourselves in. I know now exactly where I would start The family haven’t got a clue, they are undoing everything they helped to create. Coates has at least stopped making public comments and making himself look an arse, but it is funny that his lack of communication coincides with this fucking awful form. Scholes needs sacking and the appointment of someone who isn’t a clown . Probably Jones needs to go too but I’m willing to give him 5 more games. No reason to!

We've tried it the Cult of Pulis way and we've tried it the Pie in the Sky Dreamers way, getting rid of Pulis and signing sexy technical players. Look how it's turned out. Yeah we we’re playing the best football I’ve ever seen us play with the best players I’ve ever seen us have long after that capped dinosaur left, rank bad running of the club from top to bottom, we can’t even keep serve edible pies for Christ’s sake, poor signings and poor due diligence is what’s landed us what is likely a gruelling stint in the third tier. Absolutely shite all to do with Pulis, and these deluded minions are quite frankly mentally ill, the world is bigger than a malicious, tracksuited fraud. To state we’re in this mess because we got rid of the most divisive manager in English football who was scared of his own shadow and had the front to throw our biggest game for a fucking league fixture, and THEN tried to justify it when many Stokies worked their bags off to be able to cobble together enough money to attend is quite frankly, the ramblings of a complete nutcase. You know you can go Benidorm whenever you want?

Cannot understand why some on here are so surprised by our under achievement under Jones. When he was appointed I and others had concerns. His record of winning promotion from league 2 and little else didn't really set the world on fire. If supporters and the club were expecting someone of his standing to be good enough to get us promotion back into the prem I am afraid they are wrong. I did say lets give Jones time but I am sorry time is quickly running out.

Whilst I got that, I thought it was a big risk. That said, didn't expect it to go anywhere near as bad as it has been

You know you can go Benidorm whenever you want? You can also have a weekend in Swansea whenever you want, what's your point caller? And why the obsession with Benidorm? It's that's the pinnacle of your globetrotting no wonder you need the slow ekeing out of 40 points to fill the gaps of your moribund life 😂

Google maps is a wondrous thing. The uncultured masses went there before the game (us more cultured Stokies went via Barcelona -there weren't many of us). I hate it when I have to explain a joke 😒. PS what you've done there is in an attempt to insult me you've made yourself look like abit of a plonker 😕

Thanks for the little travelogue but I'm well aware of the proximity of Benidorm to Valencia, they even speak a dialect of Catalan called Valencian that way. Word of advice, if you have to explain a joke, it's probably shit.
