Again a lot of talk about the fans. It’s our fault we don’t cheer and fill the place with noise don’t you know. If we did the players would be amazing. Yep fans to blame🙄

Alexa. Show me a PR stunt that deflects attention from how shit I am at running stuff. Alexa: You’ll need someone to jangle the shiny keys. Alexa, how can we turn a call for unity, to bring everyone together and a rallying cry to get behind the team into another reason to moan about the club.

The moaners come crawling before you're done.

Yep fans to blame🙄 I do believe as I said in other thread that the players we have are fragile for whatever reason they are, and we do send out negative vibes and tension onto the pitch, which is understandable but does the players confidence no good at all.

I completely understand the negativity on here the frustration i feel it myself, but all as sjw has called for is UNITY for 12 games to save our season, recriminations can come later what's wrong with that? I am in but i can see from on here that the rallying call is falling on deaf ears. 😥

Yep fans to blame🙄 At no point has he said anything resembling that. He hasn’t even gone close to saying that. He’s said everyone at the club needs to pull together to support the team. He even mentioned the receptionist by name. He’s hardly saying it’s her fault or the fans. Simply that we’ve all got a role to play and ours is to attempt to show the players and managers what our support can be like when things are heading in the right direction. He spoke brilliantly…far better than he played in fact .

You are thinking too deep mate He’s only telling the players what it’s like to play for Stoke City In his Sentinel piece he is asking that the fans "Give me 10 minutes" of an atmosphere. Am I singing Jon Walters Red and White army or Steve Schumacher's Red and White army? I'm confused. Coates has pulled an absolute trick and a half here. The "manager" is in an awful position. If we win on Saturday is it down to the coach or the temporary Technical Directors rallying call? It'll be down to every last one of them doing their jobs properly. As someone has alluded to above SJW has basically come in as cheer leader and someone whose done it all before in this stadium in the top flight. SJW has way too much class to come in and piss on Schumachers chips by taking over and trying to claim any glory that hopefully occurs.

That's fans misinterpretation. And quite ironic when same said fans are moaning about the fragility of the players yet at the same time are crying about SJW implying that it is the fans who are at fault. What a joke 😆 🤣

Really not sure what to make of SJW in this "interim" role, he was at pains to give us his CV since giving up playing. I like the cut of his jib and seems a very intelligent bloke, I could see him in some role with us moving forward, not sure which one though.

(I know goaarrnn Jon hasn’t blamed the fans). We will go as always, and it’s usually 5-10 mins in where we know what’s coming, so fragility aside, what’s their plan? If the answer is don’t boo but sing you bastards, then I will, but I want them to at least have a go first. Not mutually exclusive if you will.

Has anyone got a clue who the leader is? A recipe for a total disaster. Yes thanks it’s very clear to me. I’m really not sure what you’re struggling with. So who is the leader? A. JC, B. SJW, C. SS, D. Penry, the mild mannered janitor, E. none of the above

It's not a farce if it works until end of season though. It should cement the end of the Chairman and everyone down. This club needs a reset.

He's simply waxing lyrical highlighting that if we can give it our all to support them despite the crappy situation we are in then it should help the players relax a bit more and help them get a few results. We can take it to be a bit patronising or finger pointing at us the fans but that isn't going to help anyone. Lets unite and get the job done is what I assume he's saying..

If I was Schumacher and Walters managed to galvanise the players to play their hearts out till the end of the season and get results which saved my job I would be highly delighted. Have some people on here not heard of the concept of working together?

He admits there hasn't been a lot to cheer but asks the fans to show the players what the stadium can sound like for ten minutes and then it will be up to the players to respond. Do you want to be part of the club with a role to play in keeping us up or just an observer waiting to be entertained? What is the definition of fan?

He spoke brilliantly…far better than he played in fact . I was with you till the last sentence 😛😛 Seems an age ago when we would debate the quality or otherwise of SJWs footballing ability. But one thing that nobody could ever question was his absolute commitment to the team and determination to give the fans the commitment we rightly demand. I love how Jon speaks as much as I loved how he played. Maybe quite similarly he’s not polished as a speaker. He repeats stuff and chooses the wrong word frequently….as a player he could be brilliant and awful in the same minute. But both as a player and, on this evidence, as a communicator he’s genuine. He was genuinely committed on the pitch and if he can bring that to this role then I think he’s as much chance as anyone of turning the ship around.

I am in but i can see from on here that the rallying call is falling on deaf ears. 😥 Getting the fans on board will depend on the players and manager. If we have some sensible team selections and obvious effort and desire on the pitch, we'll get behind them and hopefully roar them to safety. That's all we've been waiting for. But if we keep getting daft team selections and systems that we clearly haven't got the players for, and keep seeing incredibly basic mistakes and painful lack of quality then the apathy, bordering on outright anger will remain and possibly escalate. The ball is in the players' and manager's court.

The ball is in the players' and manager's court. It is but there is nothing we can do about managers selections (nobody ever all agree no matter what team or formation he plays) we can't stop players making mistakes if they are not quite good enough or low on confidence ( these same players would be good if we were closer to the top of the division) all we can do at this moment is SUPPORT and have UNITY not perfect but what else can we do?

Sheer madness to fire a manager right now because it's too late. A complete reset of the complete reset following a complete reset - yeah that's been working great.
SJW rocks up and for all I can see is doing his best to do whatever he can to help. I'm not confused. For once what they're doing is clear to me. It's life during wartime if you're a football fan.
This ain't no party, this ain't no disco. This ain't no foolin around. No time for dancing, or lovey dovey. We ain't got time for that now.
