This comment pisses me off so much and the "do you expct us be pushing for Europe", "do you think we should be beating everyone"
No I don't. And I don't think anyone does
I just expect
A) Tony to play players in right positions
B) If something isn't working ie the long throw, the punt up field for someone to play like mama....then change it
C)and more important than anything the players put in some effort
That is why we come on here moaning after traveling however many hundred miles to watch that shower of tripe yesterday and against Blackburn etc
Those 3 things aren't much to ask for are they, especially when 3,000 Stokies fork out on average £40 a ticket plus expenses every other week
We aren't moaning because we are loosing, its the way we go about it....if those 3 simple things were done then results at blackburn etc could have been different.

Absolutely agree!
You cannot excuse crap performances, dire tactic and oddball team selection by a comment designed to distract the gullible from the truth.

We have been entirely responsible for all our recent defeats and that is what is so firking annoying to those of us who go to every game .
It is now time for TP to prove himself at this level, we are in a rut and if he gets us out of it and makes a decent fight of keeping us up then fair play, if we fade away then the prem will have been a step too far for him

I think that this post is based on my comment on an another thread so I feel the need to defend it !
I totally agree about our poor tactics, square pegs and also some of the poor quality of our signings, particularly in a positional sense (we seem to have lots of centre backs and central midfielders most of whom are simply not good enough and fuck all in the shape of full backs, wide players or strikers)
BUT - This league is ALL ABOUT MONEY !! - We have spent some but in the great scheme of things its next to fuck all.
We are kidding ourselves if we think that we can seriously come into this league and win 6/7 away games with the players we have got - Lets not forget that yesterday Pulis played Soares and Tonge in the positions people have been clamouring for and were, Im afraid, Shit.
Our problem is that we are in a 'half way house' situation - The Manager and most of the players we have plus the money we have spent are all distinctly 'Championship' material so in that sense we are punching above our weight.
I feel that we have the choice of backing what we have, hoping and praying we stay up (and accepting that we arent going to get much on our travels) and then building on things or seeing us relegated and starting all over again.
The players we have ARE SIMPLY NOT GOOD ENOUGH to go away and win 6/7 times and there in lies the crux of the problem. I dont think a change of tactics or approach will make much difference to the results.
Its under these circumstances that I am saying 'What did you expect' not any sort of rose tinted spectacles !!!

The only thing I expect from my club is not to have to rely on either Richard Cresswell on the left wing or Vincent Pericard up front in the Premier League.
That's not too much to ask, shirley?
