You're spot on. Never understood the whole coming on here and gloating after a Stoke win, just looks pathetic and quite childish. As they say, hindsight never loses. God forbid people use a public messageboard to discuss things. Anyone can come on before the game and make themselves look stupid. The intelligent keep quiet because they have learned that anything can happen, and we have to have faith. Have yourself a cheeky little wank fella, safe in the knowledge that you’re Stokes No1 fan, and just like a broken clock - right twice each and every single day! I’m delighted to be wrong mate, just don’t need a smug twat saying ‘told you so’ to fellow fans who have the temerity to rightly question a shit looking line up. My 9 year old is past that.

Be honest, most of the early comments had nothing to do with "rightly questioning" anything...it was all about slagging off OUR manager. I wasn't impressed when I saw the starting 11, but I'm a fan, not a professional, and hope that SS knows what the players can/can't do. We're not out of the woods yet, so I won't be dancing in the street tonight, just happy, and relieved, that it worked out well

That fans on a football messaging board should just know our place, not question anything and merely accept the feeble offerings of our betters? Bollocks. After 6 years of abject shite I’m done with blind hope.

I’ll never understand why anyone cares.

Just quoting others AFTER the game Pathetic isn’t it Everyone wants to see an attacking team and goals but results are what matters. We kept them quiet and they are a team with goals in them. Amazing what having a good full back does. Experience wins over young players so often at this level that's why am never one for...chuck X and Y in from the U21s or wherever. We saw that with Delap when he came and a young Campbell. Wiser players know how to deal with them and Stevens today cut out their main threat. They even switched Philogene as was having no luck . With Stevens being out so long it looked a worry on paper

Anyone can be a smart arse after the event Am sure all are delighted to be wrong But the team was no where near as bad as people were saying it was a ridiculous over reaction yet again. That’s part of the problem everything these days is an over reaction. Win we’re world beaters lose we’re the worst team ever and the manger needs to go.

Well played him and happy to eat humble pie (after a pack of mini rolls)

I don't know how anyone can question a managers tactics, it's clear that fans know jack shit about the line ups, formations and what tactics we are using. How many people actually look at our opponents weaknesses? A formation or the starting 11 doesn't dictate what we will try to do and which players we will target where we think we will have more joy during a match. Schumacher clearly isn't a mug tactics wise, time to trust what he does and judge the performance after the match. Someone could be doing really well in training and deserve a chance , we as fans don't see all that so we gotta trust his instinct and what he chooses.

I guess you're clueless when it fails and a genius when you get the result. Personally thought the team was set up for a point and back up there when/if needed but Hull offered next to nothing but mainly down to how we set up. They tried to play everything through Philogene but we totally snuffed him out

SS has been less than impressive “so” far but I sincerely hope he gets it right long term for us rather than a good result here and there.

We have to give Enda a lot of credit as said yesterday, sometimes an older ,wise head is too much for a younger talented player. He looks back to peak fitness as was hinted in midweek and was the best fullback in this division not so long back at one stage.

Like I said Where was his pre match comment saying what a decent line up it was? Just quoting others AFTER the game Pathetic isn’t it It is but it's no more pathetic than the absolute knickerwetfest we had at 2pm yesterday and the subsequent mea culpa's from said knickerwetters. It was either a shit team and we got lucky or it was a good team and we got everything we deserved. It was the same starting line up after 5pm that it was at 2. There's nothing wrong with questioning decisions but it's the way a large minority go about that. It goes beyond discussion and criticism and is simply straight to outright abuse. This thread is exactly why I rarely post anymore. And that said I'll piss off again now for another month.

I’ve not seen anything from Schumacher that even appears to be cowardly and is always ready to admit when he’s got it wrong. Seems daft to call someone a coward on a message board which is ironic because they would be to cowardly to say it to his face.

The team selection after international breaks are often weird to fans. Stats for players like Million and Bae will be known by club and not fans. Who trained well out of the "stay at homers" will only be known to the coaches. Let's not forget half of the team that played Norwich got pelters only a fortnight ago. Seemed obvious to anyone who follows Stoke what the back 4 would be. A fit Mmaee would be leading the line so we are only talking 3 or selections across the midfield and forwards that had any doubt at all.
I'm surprised it was such a big drama either way.

So they shouldn’t cry when they get called out on it. 🤣
