    Can Walters,be allowed to lose us points HeHas managed 3 already ( L'pool 1 and 2 yesterday ) Yes he runs his b****cks off every game but the way we are playing suggests that if we had someone who could score we could probably hover around the top 8 most of the time

    It is frustrating when you remember his two goals agst Bolton at Wembley and yet now he wouldnt score if Mrs SiS was in goal

    Lets hope Arnie delivers as he looks an exciting prospect

    Totally separately it is going to take a while to lose the PULIS hoof ball tag Yesterday Ryan played a 20 yard ball along the deck and yet Jonathan Pearce on MOTD said " they can still play it long"

    I was thinkin something similar after watching yesterdays game if he had done the easier thing and score on both occasions we wud prob have 3 extra points.
    Then I just think if it was last season we wudnt have even creted the chances for him to score. All in all I think his days are prob numbered if were honest as a first team regular with one of the guys who we have brought in during window replacing him.
    As for match of the day expect this sort of smarmy comment from all of them over the coming season. Its almost like snide dig at the way we have played in previous seasons.
    It annoys me as if it had been John Terry or a player from the top 4 it would have been called a pin point accurate pass spreading the play quickly from defence to attack lol

    The more they play us down the better for me especially if we get more points out of their comments, the new signing Arnie tried a few things I've not seen from a Stoke player in recent times, looks really promising.

    I've been calling him Arnie, Marko, or "The Austrian". He did look pretty exciting, and seemed desperate to make an impact. Hopefully we see more of the same and not his apparent "attitude of a child".

    Here here lets hope he gets the game time to show what he can do.
    Seems like he has alot to prove having come with a rep which can only be good.
    whats really good to see at the moment is the possitive stories that are coming out of the club players, staff and fans all seem to be happy and it is showing with performances on the pitch

    I can't understand why he still starts? I have never rated him, 34 goals in 146 games for Stoke is woeful and he has been the designated penalty taker! I am sure with time Hughes will rotate him out of the starting lineup and he will then struggle to get much game time. Having said that, all our strikers have been poor.

    I think with the team playing better and creating more chances things will improve but he isn't a natural goal scorer so I can see him being a squad / cup utility player after the next window.

    It's difficult to slate any of the players, but let's be honist. Walters should have buried that header first half!!
    But, as said already I'm happy that we are creating chances now. Once Arnie is up and running, Wallters imho won't get near the starting 11. We also have another striker come Jan. They All played brilliantly but, to keep missing chances and that penalty? Not good enough. I think Hughes will play Arnie vs Arsenal so let's hope he gets 2 chances one of those yesterday, I'm sure he would have taken.

    Well pleased so far though, we are certainly on the up. We will fear NO team, home nor away. I can only see POSITIVES from the first 4 games. <ok>
