And people don’t think the play offs is a minimum😂 At the start of the season I would have been quite happy with a mid table finish,small steps and all that but I think a top 6 finish is easily achievable. We will be extremely unlucky if we have another injury crisis like at present and bar the 3 teams that come down I reckon the rest are much of a muchness. Verlinden needs more game time,Joe Allen will be like a new signing when he is up and running and a decent striker in the transfer window would be nice and is needed. Next year has the makings of being a very good season for us Stokies. |

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. None of these teams had form like 8 points from 14 games before this run. Long may it continue |

Maybe they are not rushing verlinden into full 90 min championship games due to building him Back up fully after a long injured spell
Or maybe the players confidence needs building up slowly after a serious injury. Would much rather players are slowly reintroduced to the team after a long injury out than being rushed back which can trigger other niggles and injuries.

He's been playing for three months! Have you seen any of the games? Or even the 10 mins the other day when he did come on as sub? He's not exactly short of confidence. He's as confident as you can be when your manager gives you a bad deal. You would rather see him wither away in the reserves than see him help the first team's cause...or see him leave on a nominal fee to go elsewhere and be a star. |

Until we get some quality into that final third we won’t be anywhere near. Verlinden. 👍 Can’t do it on his own |

If he can’t even get on the bench tonight you have to wonder if he’s got a future here. He sees him every day and obviously doesn't think he deserves to play. We've heard all this before with B'Goy etc Some have a great habit of bigging up these young players as the answer to it all when maybe they just aren't good enough |

Verlinden has played well in the u23s? Oh well that’s it then he must be the answer. Bloody bell Michael what are you playing at? Do you even know how to manage?! Yes I know you’ve gotten 80+ points but a fans forum stalwart has decided that you don’t have a clue....
😂😂 ffs 🤦🏻♂️
