They had one game plan tonight, aim for fletcher at every opportunity and rough us up. We actually coped easily. However when you make Sunday league mistakes it doesn’t matter How depressing is it when we’re so painfully poo in a league where a side as god awful as Shef Weds are riding as high as they are? We were garbage but they were thrice as bad. It's flipping depressing that we are consistently beaten by flipping awful football teams playing a TP inspired 4-4-1-1 I'm no football snob but I'd stop going and practice inserting glass in my anus instead if I was a Wednesday fan. They just sit back and hope to counter attack. If they've actually got the ball they just smash it up to Fletcher, hope to pick up the scraps and cross the ball into the box regardless. He’s got a point though.... Just saying Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

handworth52 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 if all teams played like stoke of the last 20 years no1 would go to football again they (when pullis was in charge) played the worst style of football and as for stoke what a hovel .

Utah Owl Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Sir Stanley Matthews, George Eastham, Gordon Banks, Jeff Salmons, Peter Crouch, Robbie Williams! Your boys took one hell of a beating last night, one hell of a beating! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelcityowlsfan Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I was thinking Jones was turning the corner with them and was pleased for him till I saw him beating his chest in front of their fans after their last win like they’d qualified for the champions league. After that and his comments last night, he can boll**ks the Welsh umpa lumpa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Emerson Thome Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Looking at Stoke's squad I was expecting a tough game, but seeing the attitude of their team, hearing the attitude of their commentators and reading those comments it reminds me very much of the years after Wednesday got relegated from the Prem. There's something rotten in their squad, and while the likes of Joe Allen have experience of the Premier League its clear they don't have the right mentality. Equally, there doesn't seem to be much identity to their team - it wasn't clear what style of football they are trying to play and Stoke seems to be the kind of club that will destroy managers reputations for years to come until the clear everyone out, just like it did to the likes of Paul Jewell and Chris Turner here. Also I find the worship of Badou Ndiaye somewhat cringeworthy: Quote The real travesty is Badou N'diaye having to play at this level. I half hope he gets a move in January because he's so far above the level of football in this league. The commentators on BBC Stoke were the same. Need to take of the rose tinted glasses, because he played exactly the same kind of game as Sam Hutchinson - a player who aside from 1 game for Chelsea has been in the Championship his whole career. Fans should be demanding decent performances, not excusing them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emerson Thome Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Also just reading that Stoke spent £7m (some places say £9m) on the 30-year old Sam Vokes. In addition to that there's £12m last season on Benik Afobe (now out on loan), £10m on Ince (left on the bench), and £5m on McClean (ditto). So when we curse the name Jordan Rhodes remember there's clubs out there just as bad, an arguably worse than us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edwinowl Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 9 hours ago, Nut said: I dont think they're that far wrong based on last nights performance but we're 3rd so it's obviously working just as it did when they had Pulis in charge using Rory Delap's long throws and Shawcross's career ending tackles. Did they not see Gregory jumping into his man for every header, never looking at the ball? They were as awful as us last night. Hope we get a few more teams fans acting like this after we've played them, starting with Leeds on Saturday. We were very poor last night and on that performance I’m glad we have the points in the bag that we have. commentators seem to think Monk is an adventurous type manager who plays it on the deck but I’ve yet to see any sign of that. We can and will get better. Early days for him really. Win is a win though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Get them loads of goals in Division 1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
