I quite like Bayern and some of his posts, but that is a pisser. How? I was calling for it before the goal.

From your point of view it may seem odd but for those outside the sanatorium looking in its clear to see 😂 It’s not. Mon can do no wrong. It’s mad. Today a lot of us could see what was coming and that the midfield needed changing. It was poor management. I will just refer you back to my last post.

Pretty happy with that in the end. We looked a threat going forward for the first time in about two months.

And as I pointed out that to bellend I was calling for the subs before the goal. It was obvious what needed to happen and MON fucked it again.

Point I'd have taken before the game, Chester took the card to save the goal the new lads seem to fit like hand into glove, just a shame we couldnt hang on.

So shall we sack him and replace him with.......... Oh behave. But he can do wrong things you know. 🤦♂️ Not EVERY week though. You believe he is a coward, so you must believe there is someone better out there to take us forward. Who?

I think for the last two months he’s been the biggest thing holding us back for sure. Proven again today. I think he can and will, he will learn and quite frankly has to.

Blackburn fans consider that ball went out, and felt red card was a little harsh thar far out. Big talking point I feel is that we didn’t force a second when Blackburn were clearly on the ropes. We are too negative, even when we are leading. Fair enough, their "goal" probably should have counted however

Collins was covering so I think the sending off was very harsh. The ball looked out, but I guess you play to the whistle. For 60 minutes we completely snubbed out their very dangerous front 3.

Disappointing yes but encouraging.......we completely outclassed and dominated them til Powell went off and with a bit more luck could have been 3 up - liking the new signings as well.......
On to the next one......

As I said, I like your contribution on here and I agree with some of the things you say, even what your banging on about today. I just thought it was a funny response from someone who didn’t agree with you. Better than the normal shit you get surely?

I don’t think anyone takes anything you say seriously anymore. Probably not which is very odd. The cult around MON is strange. It is strange how the same people defend mon when he clearly makes mistakes and he gets away with it. I’m can’t comment on today but more often than not he’s negative and his subs and not playing cousins and verlinden are bizarre

I can’t watch anymore of this total control then we start sitting back and completely hand the initiative over. Promising but bloody frustrating so typical of us. A lot of its down to us not having a striker. We’re a better side than them why do we feel we have to sit on a goal lead. How many pts. have we lost this season Because we sit back?

As others have said the big plus is that we looked quite good. Neat passing, 1-2s, created chances, especially first half after their disallowed goal. Recent games we haven’t had that kind of movement. If we can approach matches like that then we will scare defences, and this leads to opposition being more on the back foot.

I’m can’t comment on today but more often than not he’s negative and his subs and not playing cousins and verlinden are bizarre He seems to get subs wrong both ways - goes defensive when a risk is necessary and then puts a flighty forward on when it needs shoring up a bit (today). Maybe it’s a good thing, at least it shows he’s not dogmatic about the type of changes he makes.

Disappointing.
Two upsides, though:
One is that for a good part of the game we looked as if we had goals in us. (We haven't said that in two months)
And two - RND at left back man of the match for me, and Powell and Thompson also had encouraging games.
Solution - just play Cousins from the off and give Mikel and Allen a half each so they don't tire after 60.

We've probably got all other the ingredients elsewhere in the squad - albeit not necessarily all the round pegs are playing in the round holes currently for me.

It’s like certain individuals are just waiting to pounce on here week in week out Not at all but when you’ve been calling for midfield subs because they’re clearly fucked and then you concede a goal with one of those midfielder sauntering back it’s grates. Allen and Mikel haven’t been able to run since about the 60th minute and we clearly needed fresh legs. It’s poor management. I'm with Bayern on this one, the midfield was clearly flagging (as it would as both Allen and Mikel have both been injured and have only been back a little while). Whether his players missed chances or not, its O'Neil's job to manage the game as it unfolds. You could see the goal coming as they started to run past the midfield and it duly came, he should have changed it earlier. Yes hindsight is great but he has a habit of delaying his subs a bit too long for comfort. Once Powell went off the game changed and O'Neil didn't respond quickly enough.

Fair enough, their "goal" probably should have counted however Is that the last word on the offside, the goal should have definitely stood, is that right? Not mentioned in the BBC report at all, Mowbray did not comment on it in his interview at then end of the report.

You're asking me to deal with you telling me to fuck off but you can't deal with my comment without resorting to bad language. Think about it lad. U started it ‘lad’ - think about what you’re saying to people and expect a reaction before posting shit Yeah, you’re right, I’ll take long hard look at myself before coming to the conclusion that I’m glad I’m not you.

Overall progress after recent performances. Started in the front foot and created chances with a much more mobile side. With Allen and Powell together we looked more fluent and there were flashes from Rabbi and Brown though Matondo tired second half opening up that flank whereas first half Douglas was pinned back. Allen and Mikel tired but both continue to improve and defence and keeper did well. A right back and another striker would be great although Fletcher with pace alongside and Powell behind is not too shabby. Suspect we will rotate Brown, Clarke and Matondo as all 3 are raw.
I suspect play offs may be a stretch but a chance to develop our style of ply and create a base for the summer window.

Two reasons why people defend MoN ,when others consider him negative
1. He is not Nathan Jones . Compared to NJ , he is Brian Clough and sir Alex rolled into one
2. Teflon Tony Scholes hasn't got a clue and with an NJ /rowett /Lambert /Hughes managing the first team would go ...one flew over the cuckoo's nest ... bonkers and spend all coates millions on worthless sh*te on 5 year contacts
Allowing for the above , it's best MoN stays in charge of the first team .

How easy it is to be reactive after witnessing just one game with the unrealistic influence of where you want to be a Stoke supporter.We all would like to be back in the Premiership but this club has been close to an abyss over the last two seasons. What MON has achieved in this time has been magnificent. Yes he can be negative and Pulis like but the facts are that we ate now going in the right direction and all this despite having horrendous injury problems and FFP restrictions. Patience is a virtue but of course we all want to be back in the Premiership now. Given time I believe MON will achieve our goals. How easy it is in retrospect to not pick. It was a good point yesterday. Anywhere in the top twelve will be magnificent progress this season.

Deserved a win, think we lost a bit with both teams making subs and theirs worked better. Ball clearly out for their goal but after the game at our place can't complain they got a point. Bit of a lull lately but all teams go through it over such a long season
