Apart from the first suicidal minutes you can’t really fault that performance. A deserved win and some strong spirit. What do you want ? There’s a long way to go yet, we all know that but let’s enjoy a good solid performance. It seems some are disappointed we’ve won🙄 I'm not unhappy that we won. I just see through all of this. This is not the start of a revolution. We need 'kin huge changes before we can start getting giddy. Sure, enjoy yourself tonight. We'll catch up next month. You are unhappy that we won. Nothing could be more obvious.

After that performance today,he deserves more time, but the moment he puts Ince and McClean on the team sheet again, he needs sacking.

I will be so much happier if the the owners and manager could sort themselves out. If not then yesterday is only a blip in what will end in relegation.

Gone past caring, just enjoying the highlights which I havent done in a long time and have woken feeling rejuvenated, enjoy it whilst it lasts as in a fortnight if the board have made no decisions or communications and we lose to fulham it will be like time has gone back a month

I'm not sure what a brilliant performance from Stoke looks like as it's so long since we've seen one but yesterday looked pretty good to me. Heart says give him more time; head says even a bosted clock is right twice a day.

Was absolutely buzzing we finally got a win. But I don't have much faith in the bloke. You cant discount the utter dross of his time in charge. Hopefully I'm proved wrong on the matter though, but I still think he is out of his depth.

And yet some people haven't stopped whinging since the final whistle yesterday. Why not just have 24 hours off? You haven't stopped bitching and moaning, so the fact you have to deny that you're unhappy while bitching and moaning on says it all. You can genuinely answer the question by stopping whinging for a bit.

What he actually deserves is for the owners and their cohorts to come out of their ivory tower and make a public statement on his future.
After the Forest game the Sky commentator said that Stoke see Jones as their long term manager. You've got to think they'd have got that info from someone high up in the club having spent several days at the Bet365 Stadium preparing for the game.
Having not sacked him after Forest and then the Huddersfield calamity, you've got to consider the fact that that's exactly how they're feeling.
They can't continue this silence though. The speculation over Jones's future isn't helping anybody. They need to either shit or get off the pot. You can be certain that if Jones turns this around and we start climbing the table they'll have plenty to say for themselves, so it's about time they either publicly back their man or get rid.

www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/49947746The BBC are taking the michael. Obviously think he's a clown. He needs to go. As I pointed out in another unpopular thread. This happened with Hughes, he gets one good result struggles on for another few months, gets sacked anyway and we get relegated. His win ratio says all that needs to be known.

And there are some posters who need to understand emotion and emotional responses are okay! Yes, people are hyped up, emotional and irrational, why the fuck not?! Enjoy it, we just won, and won well, the performance them players and that manager gave was something we haven't seen here in such a long time. And instead of being able to enjoy it, we have some people in the "yeh but" brigade, like children who haven't got the attention at a party trying to spoil everything for everyone. Just fucking enjoy the win, enjoy the fact the team, the club, the players the fans and the manager seem even the slightest bit united for 5 minutes! The time for level headed thinking will come in the next 2 weeks. But for now, get a beer or whatever your poison is, and fucking enjoy it!

I think this demonstrates that his position is still very precarious and that they're actively trying to replace him. If they weren't trying to, why wouldn't they simply come out and back him, what be the point in keeping quiet?

It could well be that Nathan knows exactly what is happening and is therefore effectively serving a period of notice until his replacement is joining us.

I think he's got to get another game after yesterday's performance. The team seemed to know what they were doing and played brilliantly.

If he's given a reprieve he simply has to be given a remit of points to achieve if he fails he gets sacked if he achieves it he gets more time a bold decision is needed by the board.

I think that he could be here to stay.
He missed a press conference to have lunch with Peter. Now if that meeting was for a stern warning or sacking, surely Scholes' office would have been the venue? I can only guess, but I guess that the lunch meeting was for "reassurance".
But who really knows .........?

Dave we don’t often agree but I’m 100% with you on this and I also think it would help the players . I for one would be prepared to go down for the sake of some continuity and a Plan ( Ipswich showing it can be done ) but there the extreme . But coming and saying effectively ( fuck the media and the ITK he daft he’s our daft and he is staying until we review in May ) Would be brilliant for him the club the players .

For us to go down would be a disaster! Ffp would kill us for a start and there are good normal people from the city that rely on the club for a job who would be made redundant. If we go down it wouldn't be like Ipswich it would be more like a Sunderland but worse it absolutely can't happen

I we were to get rid now and seeing the players reactions to NJ, would this just rock the boat a bit more and put us back to Square 1..Also wonder if Mclean has used his mouth or maybe has family issues ??

Secondly not sure I agree financially the killer is the lost income and we’ve done £100m of that already it’s not that different below this league .FFP will bite next year regardless

I see no reason at all why he should be our manager for a second longer than is necessary. A total complete and utter failure.
After nine months he stumbles across a result. I'm sorry but we deserve better management than that.
