Rooster in charge of Stoke for tonight's game

Thanks for the reminder buddy. I'm going for a Stoke win or draw and hope I am completely wrong.

Must admit I'm staggered by just how far Stoke have fallen. From being a longish-term "difficult to beat PL team" to bottom of the Championship despite not selling - initially - all and sundry (unlike Swansea) takes some doing.

Vokes to score Frank ...but Charlie to score twice in a West Brom win

Charlie looks a tw@t with blond hair

0-1 Baggies.

Have Stoke started yet ?

Keep it going WBA.

You mean this game, or this season?

Good to see Vokes and Ward back in favour.

Steve1956 · Post by **Steve1956** » Mon Nov 04, 2019 8:49 pm

Charlie just took one up the nose there

ElectroClaret · Post by **ElectroClaret** » Mon Nov 04, 2019 8:51 pm

WBA aren't bad, but Stoke are dire.

Good to see ref Robinson is still a shocker

FactualFrank · Post by **FactualFrank** » Mon Nov 04, 2019 9:15 pm

Stoke's closing down has been absolutely shocking. They aren't even doing the basic things correctly.

There are plenty on here who could learn something from this. Bored witless of the style they played and demanded a change. Well done Stokies…

Be careful what you wish for...

Lovely and cheeky.

Penalty West Brom.

Scored.

God, don't let us go back to this dross.

Question is, can PNE last the pace with it being so tight at the top?

Fulham are easily the best side in the Championship and they lack the consistency. I don't think there is a side in the Chumps who can last the pace.

Well, the competition doesn't seem all that fierce.

I'd say it's the opposite. A lot of sides which is massive competition, but they're all average.

If they can keep their main players (and manager) come the end of January, I see no reason why not.

Yeah. That's what I meant in my roundabout way.

On the other hand ask the West Brom fans if they'd go back to watching Pulis ball and struggling in the Prem. I'd wager the vast majority would say no.

Again....they finished higher in the Premier League for three consecutive seasons than they ever did under Pulis after he left.

Poor recruitment did for them not a more progressive style.

Ask any Rovers supporter whether they were glad they sacked Big Sam......

If you look on their forum BRFCS they rue the day he was given the boot, regardless of style.

Stoke got relegate 5 years after Pulis left. If Burnley get relegated in 4 years time are we all gonna admit that Boysie was right all along and 2023 relegation was because we were to safe and conservative.

Burnley as a club is doing whats right for us and Dyche is working miracles but the sack Pulis / Stoke get relegated theory is nonsense. Clubs like us and Stoke will get relegated sooner or later no matter how we approach it

IanMcL · Post by **IanMcL** » Mon Nov 04, 2019 11:07 pm

At least Stoke tried tonight. They have been lame,when I gave caught a glimpse, previously.

Not very good though.

People also ignore they finished 9th 3 years on the trot in Mark Hughes first 3 years in charge. They were playing good stuff during those few years. I remember them playing City off the park one time. Bojan, Shaqiri and Arnautovich were superb together for a while.

Edit. Those 3 9th are their highest PL finished. Pulis this , Pulis that. Shite.

Hughes also wasted a fortune on some very average players. Their record signing barely played a game for them.
