With the support we have now we would never of survived that first year in the prem. SS has inherited a pigs ear of a squad, I'm sure he had no idea how unsuitable a good number of our squad were to championship football when he arrived. We're poor, can't score, can't defend and completely inconsistent yet he is inching us to safety. How some can boo him at halftime is beyond me, where's this 12th man gone. Don't give me its all the last 6 yrs which has made us so negative. Forget the last 6 yrs. SS needs us now, the team need us now, scfc need us now, we're gonna win some games we don't expect to and we'll draw/lose some we expect to win. Stick together. The alternative is the next 6 yrs in league 1, how will that increase you positivity watching stoke. Be Loyal, Be Proud, Be Stoke. United strength is stronger Forget 6/7 years of utter shite than had then been continued with his team selection and not trying to win a must win home game? What planet are you on? The standards are so low. You can’t actually care. As usual Bayern you've forget the main point of my post in order to passify your desire to bring every negative thing from the last 6 yrs into the present At no point did I say the last 6 yrs have been without blame, mistakes. At no point did I say I accept the level of player or their lack of desire currently wearing a stoke shirt. The planet I live in Mr Bayern is the here and now...as I said SS needs us now, the players need us now, SCFC need us now. If we use this next 6 games to support our manager/ players...despite the many faults they are showing, then maybe just maybe it will help them avoid relegation. Or we can choose to boo the man whose job it is to keep us up. We can destroy what little confidence our players have, making them weaker and poorer and less likely to give 100%. The result of this could be relegation...is that what any of us want for our club. Of course not. Stoke city need us now. You choose whether you stand with your club. Or try to bring it down. It's time for here and now Bayern not aiming to right the wrongs of past seasons.

Sorry but what is a Throbber? Sounds like an Lyons Maid Lolly from the 70s And you'd be right...... Oh, wait a min, I'm thinking of haunted house lollies!!! 🤔 That was a lolly. A Vanilla delight Unlike the horrible Dracula one with blood red jelly inside Only absolute throbbers ate Draculas

Well done. In what way is it fucked up? I'd say Reading are fucked up We've just had had a few seasons of poor results after some of the best football many of us will see. It happens to many clubs Were not in financial trouble, crowds are healthy we obviously need to improve things on the pitch Fucked up we certainly aren't.

I can understand supporters being impatient generally after years of being one of the worst home teams in the country, if not Europe or the wider professional game globally. However no one should be having a go at Schumacher, who's been doing a decent job with what he's got. Why shouldn’t I criticise Schumacher? Here are some things that I believe are perfectly valid criticisms: - He’s struggled to settle on a formation and keeps reverting to a back five system that doesn’t work well for our squad. - He makes overly cautious decisions routinely, like starting Leris over Manhoef at home to Huddersfield, which put us on the back foot. - He’s largely abandoned the things he told us were “non-negotiable” when he joined in favour of a more passive approach which isn’t good to watch. - Neither of the two players that were specifically his signings that were brought in in January (Cundle and Ennis) look like being good enough for this level currently. Cumulatively I’m afraid all that makes me think he isn’t doing a very good job and there’s no reason not to voice that opinion. I know that after an unbeaten Easter weekend everyone’s looking for a bit of feelgood factor around Schumacher but I guarantee if we don’t pick up positive results against West Brom or Wednesday everyone on here will be agreeing with me again.

Well done. Again Bayern, your choosing to miss the point to suit your own agenda. You call me a happy clapper have I said I'm happy with the last 6 yrs, have I said SS HAs not made any mistakes, have I said I think these are good players who do our shirt proud. NO, I Have not Bayern, what I've said is now is not the time to drag up old issues. It's time to stand and try and stop OUR yes OUR club Bayern from getting relegated. That and that alone should be all that the club, players and us fans are focusing on for these next few games. But you do what you do Bayern. I'm done with your selective comments. As I've just been encouraged by wilcopotter not to encourage the throbber. I'll take his advice and leave you to your joyous life

If you don't like people having opinions that don't match your own - then football is probably not your sport. Is throbbing a sport - if so you could take that up. People have the right to complain and whinge about everything to do with the club at the moment - from top to bottom. Signed: Absolute Throbber And the minute anyone questions fans nowadays they go up like a bottle of pop. Fans of all clubs can’t have anything said about them nowadays. We pay our money we have the right We are the supporters we can do what we like We demand frozen season tickets for 17 years We demand free away travel Oh and by the way on top of the club not bringing extra money in we demand the best players Nobody is going to sit there content when we are 5-0 down at home to Leicester or 3-0 to Norwich(could have been double figures) or when we are playing a struggling side that cost a tenth of the money our squad cost to put together, when we are losing to them and don't look like we have a clue or are even trying. Nobody is demanding the best players either, there are certain positions in the squad where we arguably don't have a solitary viable player, take left side of defence, we have 1 left sided defender in the entire squad he is well into his thirties and had hardly played a game in 2 years before we thought he was good enough to bring here - just a couple of viable players for each position would be a start. Nobody is demanding freezing of season tickets and free away travel, this is provided by our generous owners, but I personally would pay more for tickets if I thought it was going to help our club/owners and would also bring in some actual genuine quality and competition for places of which we have virtually none and why we are having to play square pegs all the time - particularly in defensive areas for quite a few years now. We are supporters and we can do what we like within reason, the club are exceptionally lucky to have had the attendances they have had over the last couple of years given we have one of the worse home records in all the top 4 divisions and the football has been absolutely turgid, I travel over a 100 miles to watch that and spend money I don't have to get there and to get in - and am not going to sit there happy clapping, while watching the disorganised benign dross that is being served up at the moment

We are still in the checkout line paying for all this bad recruiting over the past 7,8 years. As many have pointed out, we've needed certain positions for window after window - nothing. Deals weren't working out, or we weren't pursuing them hard enough, whatever took place. We haven't had a balanced type of squad forever due to this revolving door of managers and the squad has always been a mix between the former and the current manager's collection of players. Wasn't thrilled with Ricky Martin, whether or not he could sing and dance, it was "La Vida Loca" alright. Doesn't sound like he was a good "fit" at all and what came before him was worse. Anyone recall some of Cartwright and several ex-manager picks to throw money at?
If supporters are booing then there's a reason. The people wearing the shirt on the pitch are what makes things happen good or bad. I find it very hard to transfer ALL blame to owners who have poured their own money into this club and supported the community and fans other than to say that they just need to get a football-head in the mix there somewhere. They share in the blame, but they don't make plays. John Coates has the touch of an anvil, can't score worth toffee and is too slight to stay on the ball vs. a good defensive player. Consequently, we don't play him. I place the blame for losses on consistent bad tactics by a couple of former managers who were clearly either insane or clueless, ridiculous mistakes on the pitch and formerly, a total lack of effort on the part of the players. We haven't had anyone who can pass, score and many who can't defend. That's why we are where we are, not because JC and Co. are giving out free bus rides and freezing ticket prices.
Shu has for the most part been the FIRST manager for this entire time who even occasionally looks to have a plan and can get the players to put out effort. We deride his team selections when we don't know what's going on in that changing room at all. Then we go out and beat Hull with a lineup that we all were criticizing. If you want the Coates to sell to Sheik Yerbouti who'll do nothing but make insane comments in the press, strip assets off the club, then flip it to the next meglomaniac with no local connection to SOT, that's your prerogative, but in my book that solves nothing and creates additional problems we currently do not have.

Some of the absolute throbbers on here need to grow up, SS and the players getting dogs abuse at HT during a relegation battle ffs. I honestly believe some of you would love us to go down, SS has inherited another shite group of players, Ricky Martin has left. Give the bloke some time to build a squad fir Christ's sake. Our only aim now is to stay in this league, sick and tired of absolute throbbers thinking they are the next pep. Grow up. What dogs abuse did they get and from what part of the ground? I heard nothing from the Sentinel stand at all. No boos. Very few claps. They did get a very nice welcome back onto to the pitch from the Sentinel Stand, particularly Leris and Hoever who were on the touchline by the stand.

No, slagging off happy clapping is part of the problem a massive part, I know this fan is supporting their club through thick and thin, and now this is a bad thing, in fact why bother going at all, if the ground was full with 8000 positive supporters maybe we might perform better, funny how we are better away from home.

Idiots used to boo when we were in the top half of the PL if we weren't winning at half time, it will never change.
In general the club is very well supported with a vociferous backing, especially away. If the players can't handle a few boos then they are in the wrong profession.
Play better or at least look as though you give a shit.
