Relegation battle here we come lads. Hardly surprising. What is it now. The last 4 years? We will drop eventually. Keeping the same players is pretty much the issue. Oh and not having any form of recruitment setup. Dry your knickers. It’s game 3 🤣 Yes and we’ve been dog shit in all of them |

Don’t even know where to start with that.
Manager shat himself before the game.
West Brom much better in the first half. Could have been further ahead.
Then they just had it easy second half. Just nothing from us. No creativity. No endeavour. West Brom could have played with 8 and they still would have won.
Really very worried, but also just meh.
7 season in a row where we’ll be floundering in the bottom half.
Just boring.

Apart from Koumas, no positives otherwise. Can't wait to hear the manager's explanation

Subs have made no difference today whatsoever..... Out of 5 subs, you'd expect at least ONE to make some difference!!! Not seen any of the game but the subs scream of complete and utter guesswork. Stinks of Alex Neil at the start of last season, throwing out some rancid 5 at the back starting XI and having to change it almost from kick off. We are going absolutely nowhere anytime soon. |

2 shots on target is not good enough especially when the defence is as strong as a wet paper bag. |

Already depressed by the incoming season. Be a Stoke fan is like a endless punishment since 8 years. We need a striker, yes, but we need a pilot in this club.

It is mad, how the players change, the staff change, but the performances are so similar, just another totally abject home performance to add to the list of the last 6 years +!!

I’m afraid this is entirely on the Manager. Really stupid formation and the position of Gooch as left wing back was bad enough. But then he shifts Koumas to the wing, takes off million and puts proven duds in Ennis & Mmaee up front. Shocking Steven, absolutely shocking.

I really don't know what to say about that performance.
The manager needs to up his game quick .

Oh and not having any form of recruitment setup. Grow up for god sake 🤣 3rd game of the season. Yeah we were bad. Relegation talk is pathetic after 3 games. "Keeping the same players is the issue" yeah because the last 2 seasons our squad hasn't changed at all 🤦🏻♂️🤦🏻♂️ You have to be on a wind up, nobody is this daft surely |

Make no mistake, this is a poor WBA side. We’re just worse, far worse. Useless. Tired of it The stats say that was a pretty even game but they looked like they had a plan..we didn't! |

Very poor second half, we had chances but to be honest we didn’t deserve anything from that game.
We’ve got a handful of players starting that are just not good enough to be first choice at this level. I’m not blaming Schumacher for the state of the squad, formation was baffling today though.
We really could do with a few of the injured players back and a couple of new faces, it’s going to be a long season though with the current state of affairs.

It is worrying start to the season to look for 2 and a half of the games, completely disjointed.

It's just the same shite every season. Full pre-season and yet we look like we've never played together.
Another manager thar seems to be too busy worrying about the opposition. How can you have a full pre-season and not know what your best formation is?

Wake the fuck up I'm naming wilmott, Laurent,baker, Gooch. We have replaced the keepera with worse keepers We have replaced a cone at left back with another cone We have not got a right back We don't have a striker and haven't since Fletcher. Anyone seen a cm or a CDM since Whelan? Anything I missed? Oh 5 at the back and do you not think he's shit it after 2 games???? He shit it. |

Unless things change soon, we're going to be dragging ourselves through a long hard season, desperate to be put out of our misery!!! |

This, was saying the same, change the Manager, player's and backroom staff but the on field performance stays the same, it's ridiculous |

Our board is hilarious after 3 games, not one of the relegated sides won today. Luton not won a game yet, we got loads of players to come back. I won’t judge until Xmas, we badly need a striker but some for the over board comments on here are laughable.

First game of the season and that was abject apart from Koumas the kid who was superb.
Don’t trust SS to take us forward

If we are in a relegation scrap again this season I can't see us escaping it this time,unless he gets some decent defenders & strikers in.
That's now 2 games on the trot where the players look like they have never met.

Clueless crap. This coming week is crucial if it is not to be yet another year of bottom six tedium.
Just one bright spark and that was Koumas.
