    Can you stop please you're not having the common decency to show a bit of respect. RTB works hard to create threads like this and your rants are derailing it.

    Feel like Beale needs a good performance from the team this game or it could be really hard to change peoples minds!

    if he picks the same team and it’s the same slow football with loads of players out of position I think that’s him done tbh.

    I would like to see some changes in the team, as mentioned previously on this thread. We definitely need to a performance and I think changing it up will increase the chances.

    I fancy us. Unlike some I think it has been fine margins last couple of games. I can see what I think Beale is trying to do, and we are being more flexible formation wise. My view is some players arent in form. So it needs changes in personnel.

    I would opt for Jobe to sit out, and go with Pritch as a 10 and Ba on the right. Would love to see Rigg in for Ekwah with Neil holding the midfield together. Pembele in at right back. I am not as much of a Seelt fan as others, but no grumbling if he plays.

    Stoke are much better under Schumacher and this will be tough. I hope the fans do the right thing. All this booing and anti Beale chanting is simply helping Stoke and hindering us. I am going and if anyone boos or chants round me I will be on my feet drowing them out, and I know a few round me will be the same. These young lads deserve our 100% backing from start to finish.

    Nice try but he agreed with my rant, you're boring people.

    Your first post was about how abysmal Sunderland are, your second was about the 'ridiculous' manager.

    But you just can't accept you're endlessly negative ... give it a rest man.

    If we start well and get a goal the fans will back the players. If its slow, ponderous and lethargic then I'm not so sure

    Form of the team is abysmal. Relegation form if extrapolated. That's what I said.

    Thought you choose your words carefully. You should read the same way too.

    Again, please. I am trying to engage in the match thread.

    Yeah we need to start on the front foot. It's important , we have the players to do it definitely. Stoke have some weak points in the team.

    We need to back them whatever. There should be no doubt. We either are proud of the youngest side in the league or we arent. They are out there for us, they will be doing all they can, the least the fans can do is do all they can in return. 100% guarantee any booing or negative rubbish will make them play worse. Up to the fans in the ground, no doubt at all, they can help us win and help us lose. They can choose.

    Yes I know, you're only doing that to try to prove a point.

    But I'll leave it there and you can attempt to convince people that you're capable of posting anything other than moans about the club.

    Enjoy your night eh?

    They will come at us if we get ahead. They threw the kitchen sink at Birmingham last week.

    If we can get them running back towards their own goal I dont think there centre half's will cope

    I am. Posting how I see fit with no need to convince anyone or ask anyone to like my post. Just enjoy reading all opinions , positive and negative.

    Yeah that's it like. They pushed the front 4 right up last week. That's my worry.

    Was 5 at 1 point and launching balls into the box. Was great to watch as a neutral

    Stoke posters on rtg have been saying they are struggling up front to score but look better than when Neil was there.

    It's all about our tempo for me, get at them and I think their heads will drop

    You weren't there with Moyes, Coleman, Parkinson ...

    ... or at Lincoln, Cheltenham or Bolton.

    Fair enough, some of us have been there with a third of Saturday's gate at the start and a quarter by half time.

    This is glorious compared to the torture of Donald, Methven and Jack Ross.

    Unfortunately or fortunately depending on how you look at it, living 350 miles away with a young family I didn't have the funds to come to games during those periods and the same applies to away games

    But you were still a supporter ...

    ... or doesn't it count if you're not at the games?
