For those still being negative, did you not see that since MON has been at Stoke we have amassed 81pts. That’s the 4th highest in the country. 1st Liverpool 2nd Leeds 3rd Brentford 4th STOKE CITY
It’s all there in black and white. He is working miracles with our injury list. It’s all in place for when we have a fit squad to pick from. I keep saying it on numerous threads after every match, the second half of the season will belong to Stoke City. Come and find me if it doesn’t.

Come and find me if it doesn’t. I don’t think how well we’ve been doing is always appreciated until you look at stats like that and the most clean sheets in any League in Europe I think it’s for two reasons. Firstly these records are split over two seasons and second some of our performances have got results without being pretty There’s no doubt however that MON as done a bloody fantastic job and he will get us promoted I’m sure he will

I'm less confident since Campbell's injury, when I thought automatic promotion would be possible with a strong end to the season, but I still think we'll be stronger towards the end of the season and should make the playoffs at least. Let's hope we've got a cracking pacy striker lined up on loan, or a hidden gem like Stein or Sheron plucked from somewhere. Who knows, maybe Ince will score 15 between now and the end of the season.

Either Verlinden has asked to leave/go on loan, or upset the management team, or...he starts the next game 😉. Would he have been worse than Oakley Boothe tonight? Absolutely not.

Maybe he can’t last games and the manager wants a 90 minute man? I dunno but it’s baffling to me why he wasn’t at least in the squad tonight. Maybe just maybe he’s waiting to unleash him from the start at the weekend! If not then I imagine he’s looking to ship him out

He’s totally different to any other forward player we have and I can only hope he is starting at the weekend. I’m not holding my breath though.

Strangely thought he was ok at left wing back. Does it not make you wonder why he isn't being used though? Why do you always take the player's side when you haven't a clue what is going on off the pitch. The manager is clearly not averse to playing young players so that suggests Verlinden is the problem to me. He clearly has talent so their must be some other issue. O'Neill is much like Pulis in that he puts the team above the individual.

He’s been the best performer for the u23s when played and that should see him getting game time especially when the players playing aren’t doing much in his position. And that’s being kind to them. He came on against QPR and did well. There’s no reason for him not being used. Other than the usual made up bollocks about shit we can’t see maybe. Nonsense.

I'm just wondering why a very intelligent manager isn't using a talented footballer. I'll trust O'Neill over your golden boy every time.

On the other hand he's played several 90 min games these past few weeks, so that proves your theory wrong, albeit a different level. I think O'Neill is maybe a little afraid of playing another kid, he's already using six or seven per game; it's probably more than he thinks is sane, but he's had no choice.

Well yeh he’s played regularly for the reserves and constantly been the best player. He’s a talented player clearly so why is he not playing? Age/experience is not a reason when the likes of Thompson and Oakley Boothe are getting games for being nothing players really. They’re OK but they don’t have anything different, Verlinden does. I’m not saying he’s an answer but why the reluctance to play him.

We are picking up points with half a squad always a good sign, all teams will have bad runs and injuries there is nothing in the top 6 to be scared of it will all change afew times before the end of the season.
