I knew you would not be able to leave it you are far too clever to do that. Try a Ouija board or some Tarot cards. You’ve literally said training is better than a game which is just daft 🤣 I did not say training was better than a game. I'm done with this now Bayern you are just being ridiculous. I just beg to differ with your opinion. |

I just beg to differ with your opinion. “ You are still flogging it then. Common sense to me is that they would have looked at different combinations and partnerships in training not in some game that does not matter at the seasons end” Are you ok? |

I like his plans for next season. Very realistic, not too over ambitious. If JC buys into that, then SS' job should be safe all season. |

Again, mysterious "internal challenges" referred to. You wonder how many were related to Mr Richard Martin? www.stokesentinel.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/stoke-bristol-city-steven-schumacher-9261231Schumacher: I would probably say I knew it was going to be a challenge but it's probably been more difficult than I expected. I knew the size of the club I was coming into and what was expected but the internal challenges are the ones you don't see that obviously make it more difficult. So it's been harder than expected but I think we've overcome them or the majority of them. We've still got a lot of work to do over the summer that we feel is going to give us a better chance to do better next year. I wouldn't have had to deal with half the things I've dealt with if I'd stayed at Argyle for another three or four years because the situations just weren't there. Here it's different. That learning and that experience will only make me stronger in the long run. |

I haven’t got the confidence many have in Walters he’s a bit of a blank canvas. I make assumptions about his beliefs based on association which are probably wrong but many make the same assumptions on the same basis for the opposite reasons they could be equally wrong. Let’s see. |

Is it really the manager's job to sort all this stuff out? |

Martin was clearly a massive issue but we had the issues before he was here too so is getting rid of him the silver bullet we all hope it will be? Still amazes me that people in football don’t get how mad this club. Schumacher clearly didn’t know. Do we hide it well? Do people just not care? |

What would be the point in playing people that will be here next season? Is that a serious question? Of course it is. Playing one game in a dead rubber would make little or no difference in my opinion. Therefore just keep the team unchanged. I don't know what you have seen in your crystal ball that makes you form a different opinion but you are entitled to it. He’s not wrong though is he. Sidibe is our player and a promising young player might be good all round if he started on Saturday If some of our recent starters are not here next season it’s a no brainer |

I'm not saying for a minute everything is perfect behind the scenes but it would be refreshing if someone, anybody, came out and said what the problems are. |

They've sold over 1500 for tomorrow so should be a decent atmosphere, and they've had their highest average home attendance in a season for over 40 years, so a club with some belief, it's time to put a dent in that winning streak at our place. Best team out for us, no changes if possible.

Last season we had them at home after that decent little run of results. When Powell put us ahead with a smart finish I thought 'could we get in the playoffs with a late run?' Then their unbreakable hold on us in home fixtures asserted itself and the season finished abysmally. Feels like we need to win just to break the hoodoo for future generations of Stokies.

A Manager is supposed to manage the resources he inherits, not moan constantly about what he lacks. To me it is just making excuses for his own inadequacies. Our results and performances this year are unacceptable and indefensible. It amazes me how peoples aspirations have changed. We had a manager with no money to spend, who had us in the top 6 in the two full seasons he managed us and he was deemed to be a failure. We are now spending money again and complaining, instead of achieving.

If they play well, it's the managers doing. If they don't play well it's the player's fault. That is exactly what I am tired of hearing. |
