Hopefully that Tchamedeu shouldn't start. And that we look much better with a back 4 than a 5. Given how well he knew the players before he came surely he already knew that. |

Went today, didn’t expect anything but unfortunately we can’t talk about this game in isolation and it’s been 8 years of dross that I can’t see a way out of.
Some work from Walters. In 5 months since the end of last season he’s managed to knacker the starting 11, squad and appoint a novice manager and coaches summed up today by Dean whitehead warming up our defence.
Could yet be the same excuse as the prem relegation season. “Wrong players for a relegation battle”
My only hope is that we can stay in the mix until January and make 4-5 signings then with experience at this level.
However in 7 games I’m very unconvinced of Pelach. But think we are stuck with him unless things turn nasty. Walters will have to be sacked too and I don’t think JC has the balls.
Rant over. Stick with it lads. UTMP

I'm going to have another can of Stella. After that I'll try to shuffle up to the missus and when she inevitably turns me down I'll go to have a danger wank in the toilet. You asked for my thoughts and they are the only ones I'll get away with without being banned (just about).

I have faith in Pelach.
We are a better team than we were under the last manager.
We definitely need a good holding midfielder and Gallagher fit or someone similar.
I have little faith in John Coates and Walters but I guess we are stuck with them but we have had some really good spells of football .
Can anyone explain why are so garbage just after half time.
Would welcome any possible explanation.
Keep the faith guys and cheers not jeers

We'll be right down there amongst it - seen us play a fair amount of teams now and we haven't really stood out against anyone aside from Portsmouth. The last 7 games are suggesting that we are the 2nd worst team in the league. |

Have come to the realization that we're never going to be Real Madrid. So as bad as Stoke can suck, every other team in the PL and Championship, along with their fans simply turn my stomach.
The only other clubs worth a consideration are in League 1, 2 or lower. But nope, I'll be here for the long run no matter where we find ourselves.
You bunch of crazy wankers have pulled me in and brainwashed me.
So, my thoughts.
I'd stick with this son of a b*tch and ride it out. Something we've never done before. Now as far as the leadership structure, Coates and Walters - Jury's out.
Here's where the wishy-washy part of my opinion comes in - if a Mowbray is willing to take a shot, I'd buy into that. The dude may not be fashionable, but I respect him.
I hate what we did to Schu, really I do. But ffs, we need to try to break this cycle of a new manager every time the barometric pressure changes.
So after wasting all those words - honestly my thoughts are confusion, disorientation and concern along with a delusional hope that Narcis can turn this ship around.

Who is Pelach's assistant ?
I ask because he has (as far as I'm aware) only brought in Dean Whitehead who has equal levels of inexperience and given we sacked a fair few of Schumacher's entourage (including his assistant) we suddenly seem very light in comparison to the previous regime.
I think he needs a very experienced first team coach alongside him that he can learn from (not JW who has a very different role) and it seems rather odd to load so much pressure onto someone as young and inexperienced as Pelach.

Portsmouth - smashed them Swansea - not brilliant but Cannon had best chance and should have won us the game. Norwich - awful 1st half, much better second. Bristol - manager should have killed the game. Didn't and we were pretty bad Sheffield - expected nothing but on balance frustrated. Fluked first goal and a massive error for the 2nd. Other than that created the best chances. They were on top but as they should be at home to us. |

I would have snapped your hand off for a draw before yesterday's game but after watching didn't think Sheff Utd were anything special.To be fair they didn't have to be because we were abysmal.

I agree he’s constantly making runs and never gets the pass, in a decent championship side he would be a quality player. Only Moran is decent in our midfield and capable of feeding the forward s but can’t do it all on his own and defend as well . It’s time to ditch the wide men for me. They’re not providing anything for the forwards. Get 3 proper midfielders in there to get some through balls going which Koumas and Cannon thrive on. The wingers can come on if we need a change of tactics. agree , it’s midfield where we’re losing the games , i’d go 451 |

Something that has not been highlighted enough is how bad the summer transfer window has turned out to be. Looking at it, apart from the keeper and some moments with Koumas none of the outfield players have actually improved us.

Lose to Derby - we were the much better team, Cannon missed chances. Draw to Blackburn - great team at home. Good point. Draw to Millwall - bit of a bogey team so nice not to lose. That would be another 3 games with 2 points. The guy has won 1 from 7 league games. We haven’t scored in his 3 away games. I can’t see any hope. |

We are what we are.
A very inexperienced management team being allowed to chance their arm at running a football club. Can only happen in a owner/manager type set-up. Generally owner's do not fire themselves from executive positions and are unlikely to recognise they themselves are most likely part of the problem.

My thoughts are that the next manager will probably keep us up We really need someone to come in who has experience of this level, an older head who exudes calm. I feel NP is taking us down, and we need to do something swiftly to arrest the slide. It'd be embarrassing from an outside point of view, but more a risk of relegation if we keep him. |

I felt that Pelach needed to get a win against Portsmouth after his opening 2 defeats and he came up super trumps with a 6-1
Then I was hoping to see us take that in to the Swansea game but we were lucky to take the draw (happy enough though)
I was happy with the hard earned 1-1 against Norwich but the Bristol game like the Portsmouth game he needed to win.
The draw and Bristol playing us off the park was frustrating and worrying but could be written off as hard luck if we’d gone to Sheff and got a point and put in a performance.
As always wins are what changes everything. Zeroes to Heroes and vice versa if you can’t buy a win.
I desperately want Pelach to succeed and will support him 100% but I’m very concerned and worried that Stoke are fucked from top to bottom and nobody can sort us out

I think we will struggle to Xmas while the team gets fully up to speed but will stick with Pelach and the results will improve in the second half of the season and we will end up mid table.
There is some quality in the side and we haven't seen what they ate capable of yet. We desperately need a right back and a target man up front but that can be addressed at Xmas. Hopefully Lowal will provide sone presence on midfield when fully fit.

My thoughts are it’s a shame Coventry came back from 2-0 down to beat Luton yesterday. It means that Mark Robins won’t be getting sacked anytime soon and therefore unavailable to come and be our manager.

We are a very weak side constantly bullied by teams we need to be beating. There is more fight in a cloth cat and it is quite unbelievable that a stockily built would be kick boxer like Manhoef is knocked off the ball like a rag doll. The whole team needs to toughen up and become difficult to play against. Pelach needs to go back to basics and make us hard to beat. If he does not know how to do it, ask Tony Pulis. We're the Bagpuss team  |
