I don’t see us getting 7 points. After the last two team selections my faith in the manager has gone down hill drastically, and the performance of them gutless tossers is there for all to see. We will be lucky get 5 points. Please prove me wrong stoke Agree,I really thought we had pulled off a real coup getting MON judging by the results pre pandemic but since the restart the team selections and substitutions have me baffled.It certainly doesn't help that the 'players' seem to be still in lockdown,gutless tossers is not too strong to describe them. Definately think we've gone but fingers and legs crossed these wastrels at least grow a pair and try to perform.

I feel more positive about the Birmingham game. They have been dire since the break.

I think all things are possible in that the no crowd thing is a leveller and teams that we’ll play, and other candidates, will have little or nothing to play for.
Some teams will rest players for the playoffs
Some teams will be on the beach already
Lots more twists yet
But we are shite

I’m not sure they can appeal Pretty sure they can and a very good chance of winning it Not sure how they can cite the effects of covid when their owners knowingly purchased the club in the middle of a pandemic

The thought of Stoke going down is horrendous but just imagine how much worse it would feel if Luton stayed up under Jones.

Personally I think we’ll be relegated. But that doesn’t mean that I don’t want them to prove me wrong. It just feels that way. There just seems to be so much turmoil around our club. This one will hurt the most for me, given where we were, our wealth, and the infrastructure that we had built.
It’s all been said before, but it really is a collapse of epic proportions and is quite frankly inexcusable. League one will decimate our club for years upon years and it hurts already. We were an unfashionable club that worked so hard to get it all back after years in the wilderness and poor decision after poor decision over the last few years have lead to this. Our fans really don’t deserve the way our club and it’s employees are conducting themselves right now.
I’ve never in 37 years of supporting Stoke felt so down about our club. I know we’ve had darker days but this should have been avoidable. It’s self inflicted, it’s incomprehensible to be in this position. Yes we don’t have a divine right to win matches but nobody can honestly say this club is currently being run properly.
My grandad, God rest his soul, will be turning in his grave right now. So thanks to all that are associated with the running of our club from the chief executive to the players. You have us on the precipice of footballing disaster when we were in such a position of strength just a few short years ago. It may give us a chance to rebuild but it will take seasons to do it.
I pray that that turn it around and we survive but right now I just don’t see it.

I feel more positive about the Birmingham game. They have been dire since the break. So have we. And for most of the season before the break.

Before the lockdown i was hopeful,,,now ,,,we could IF the players want to ??, beat barnsley, Brum and Bristol, we could get a point at Leeds and Forest who i don't rate, If we stay up it's typical Stoke doing it the hard way, lose Saturday and there needs to be some serious soul searching..4 managers and they again have lost their confidence and don't seem to give a shit, something seriously not right as previously said but god knows what

thing that worries me is MON has started changing the team at every game and says he will do so on saturday which is what Jones had to resort to and it didn't work..seems he is pinning his hopes on Cousins running the midfield.

You would hope that O'Neill returns Powell to the team. Let him run the midfield, at least the constructive parts of it, and leave Cousins to shore things up.

The thought of Stoke going down is horrendous but just imagine how much worse it would feel if Luton stayed up under Jones. It feels like this will happen as it happened when Hughes went Southampton, we went down and he saved them...feels spookily similar.....I am usually very optimistic but I can only see us getting relegated, we have look cooked Against a poor reading and bora...and made Wigan look like Madrid....some of the players are a disgrace and they are more than getting away with it because of an empty stadium.

...and we have looked .......! Didn't win in 5 before the break I'm not too sure what happened before the break is relevant to what will happen after the break. I was sure we would stay up before the break, but now I really doubt we will. I still hope though!

C’mon we’re talking about these spineless, overpaid, talentless, bottom feeders we’ve put together.
Then there’s old whiskey nose clumsily bodging things together

7 points from 6 games is increasing our ppg average from the season so far, at a time where we are playing like the dog and duck, without our one and only genuine midfielder through injury and have a run in that has 50% of it's games against top six sides - two of them away and the other one at home against a side that is averaging 3 goals a game away since lockdown. Wake up, we're fucked and it's now a survival against finishing bottom - a fight I fully expect us to lose. I wouldn't bet a bag of washers on this bunch of shameful bastards. Sad to say I fully agree. If we stay up, a big if, it will be because of other teams results etc.
