By God its taken some watchin thats a fact ! Waddo I av purchased my 4 season Tickets again as i wud not like to miss really BUT sometimes even wen we score i cant raise me arse outa me seat as i know inside ive been watchin a strange team tottally subdued by tactics with strange team selection as well !!!!! i just hope we still got some money to make at least another 4 signings !!
ONE win say's it all it's CRAP. P P I'm the same, I'm not going to stop going because I can't bring myself to do it. WELL done P P four tickets ain't cheap and look on the bright side of life. We might miss another stunning goal i.e. Crouch. Only problem is we don't score often enough, home or away. Just wondering IF Any Stoke fan has ever questioned T.P. over his tactics/selections during a meet the Manager evening? Like had a rant at him or someone connected too the club.?
For me watchin stoke at the moment im more shocked if we do score than the poor performance that they are putting in. If im being fair its not that i blame the players so much ( although some are not good enough) its like every1 been saying its the negative tactics. Im sick of seeing that no 1 in midfield pushing forwards cuz they have no creativity spendin most time ****tin themselves if they get past halfway. Wingers running up blind alleys with no support or forwards flicking on balls to no1 or even floggin a dead horse into the ground( walters) till he barely looks like he moving cuz hes that fooked.Let alone players out of position. Nxt season cud be a long one i really hope im wrong. I feel sorry for the poor gits that travel to the away games but respect where its due u lot are the best support in the league for sure
Potter Herb BEST post of the day for me.. have some rep Our away fans are amazing all credit to them.. simply the best fans out there. P.S. Did Tony Pulis shell out 45 quid to watch us today.. he bloody well ought to payback every single fan who was at QPR today
He can start with me ! lol any shots on target today ? mmmmm thats what gets me how can we score set up this way !!! ????
Problem with Pulis is that it's not about winning it's about not losing. Stifle the opposition for the first half then try sneak something in the second half from a set piece or so called game changer and then bring on the defensive midfielders for the last 15 to 20 minutes and try to hold on!
4 seasons on and we are still trying to get someone on the pitch that can throw a long ball in. Delap's too old and Shotton ain't good enough.
It wasn't like that today, we went for,it first half, and sat back too much second half and inevitable conceded. We would have been better trying to sneak it at the end rather than letting them attack us for the last 45 minutes.
Watched the highlights on MOTD. It did appear that we went for it more than we usually do away from home. Jerome really should have scored early on and we had other opportunities but like others have said on here why sit back for the last 15 minutes trying to hold on to a point. It allows the opposition to press forward and the defence is not good enough to withstand sustained pressure. And to leave Cisse unmarked at the far post in the last minute?? Waddo is right with his assessment of TPs approach in games. For me, next season concerns me
I am sorry to have to break this to you rangercol but we WILL lose next week, because we are Stoke City Charity Club, always happy to help sides in relegation battles.
Just a quick note - We are joint second bottom of the form league over the last 10 games! Wolves - 3 points Stoke/AV - 8 points
It does not surprise me either, and unless TP changes his approach next season could (and probably will) be our last in the top flight. I don't pay to watch them unlike most other posters so I sympathise with those who do. Negative tactics, setting up not to lose, players played in their wrong positions have IMO led to the recent poor performances. I wonder what the likes of Crouch, Jerome, Palacios and ShawX really feel at the moment. I am not a 'TP out' supporter but I cannot see him altering his philosophy and this could be the downfall of the team. I hope I am wrong but reading the posts from regular match goers maybe he has reached his limit.
Good job the season is over 38 games! Between the 11th Feb- 21st of April, Spurs played 10 premier league games, and got 9 points. If I could be bothered I could find all sorts of ****ty stats for teams quite a way above us.
Yeh - and look at the **** Harry was getting! No one says boo to TP, who consitently has 2 or 3 poor runs a season! 18 points from a possible 54 since the turn of the year equaling 1 point per game. 4 wins against coming against Wolves, B'burn, Swansea & Norwich!
We have won THREE of our last TWENTY FOUR competitive fixtures - ignoring lower league victories in the FA Cup ! We have lowest shots on target / lowest goals etc etc. Read more: http://oatcakefanzine.proboards.com...rs&action=display&thread=192269#ixzz1uD6TZ4Pf
