To all those asking US why we complain.. GO and ASK Pulis WHY Ether's was on the bench but didn't START or come on as a sub, same with Palacios. Bolton next week? Crazy to be quite honest I really do not give a toss! Pulis started with Jerome and Crouch today great. WHY didn't Jerome FINISH the game.. too negative as I said before. NOWT to lose but Pulis will NOT go ALL out for the WIN.
To be honest I thought it was the worst substitution so far this season. Whitehead is absolute donkey ****!!.
The end of the seasn just can't come quickly enough. so that I don't have to listen to the drivel that Pulis comes out with. He goes on about hte number of games that we have played - take a look at Fulham Mr Pulis - they have played 2 games less, spent a lot less and actually try to pass the ball. Please do the decent thing and just bugger off - you have turned us into the 2013 relegation favourites, unless of course there are a few other teams who believe scoring a goal is a crime. Although my opinion is no more valid than anyone elses, I really think that after the first season (where TP did achieve great things in keeping us up), his abilty to motivate, manage and spot a player has been totally exposed as useless. We had a favourable cup draw last year, entered the Europa League via default (or did we win the FA Cup), and if it really was the group of death, how come Kiev in two games could not beat the worst team I have seen in years (Tel Aviv)? I would not be so frustrated if TP would just be honest, and stop trying to big up the opposition and claim that hard work covers up for a multitude of sins. Does anyone think that any other side in the prem or even the top half of the Championship would offer TP a job, if PC saw the light?
1. Pulis IMO would not get a job running a Sunday league team. 2. SADLY Mr coates seem's to think that the sun shines out of Tony's rear end.
I assume "Delapidated" is a play on words? Nothing wrong with our ground and can you even see it from the train line?
Are you for real? I've seen some **** posted on here, but I think this tops it. And yes Smithers, you can see the ground from the train.
Another quality statement from the Wesh Wizard! "The disappointing thing is we had opportunities and chances today but again we've not scored. That's been a problem all season if you look at our goals tally". 1 shot on target having played all 5 strikers!Has he only just figured out that we cant score and god forbid taking Walters off?
Smither's I walk over that same line every week.. sitting on a train I would say more NO view of the Stadium than YES it must be a 40ft drop, bridge to track. Add too the fact the said train was probably doing in excess of 80 mph minimum speed. He's not seen that much. Oh, and it's a good half a mile away at least!
I'm not TP's biggest fan but I think he would get snapped up by a championship club expecting promotion - he can work wonders on a small budget and the loan market! He wouldnt get another prem job for 2 reasons; Firstly I cant envisage another prem club who would want to replicate the style of Stoke (Maybe Crapburn or Bolton, but they will both be relegated anyway) and; Secondly, TP is renowned for having his own disciplinary issues with chairmen and there aint another devoted TP supporter like Coates out there!
Pistol OK I went OTT with that BUT do you seriously think that ANY other Prem Chairman would employ him? He's so feckin boring it's laughable see Smither's comment. Pulis post match comments. COS we ain't scored because ONLY ONE GUY picks the TEAM and you are fast running out of ideas and or excuses. Walters can play all season when we all know he's knackered. Jerome scored in the week, and missed one chance today so what does Pulis do? Take off Jerome and Fuller WHY,WHY, WHY? I still say it's " Terrible Management" If YOU don't agree fair enough Pistol.
I was there today and tbh you were controlling the game in the 2nd half till Pullis made the subs. Then we were on top for the last 15mins or so till we scored! Please don't lose next week....you don't have to score, just don't let any in!!!
Ranger Col So, more or less as I said?? We or at least those negative Sub's by Pulis gave you more of the ball and we just sat back. I was ONLY listening so not being at the game. Do you think I am being harsh on Tony Pulis.? Don't be shy tell me the truth I can take it Col. PS well done today at least MH made the right changes and hey ho it worked for you. Bolton, I'm sure we'll ATTACK I won't expext anything less.
The subs certainly seemed to give us the initiative. We brought on two forwards also so the two things combined meant we were able to really get on top. The first half was quite even but we never really looked like scoring till we got on top in those last 15mins and you inexplicably left Cisse un-marked from a corner!! Do you think Pullis will make them really attack Bolton then?
Col Sure, because if he does'nt attack from the start, I won't be the only Stoke fan ranting at him. P.S. I just knew I was bang on the mark re the game today. THAT is why we're so ****** off with him. He does not know how to win or to even hold on for a pt. Don't believe me any Stoke fans out there? LOOK at our away form/results/goals scored and weep. As I said Col, let's hope we do you a favour next Sunday.
I think any team who's just interested in surviving would have him, I don't know how much further he can take us, but it's not all doom and gloom, I wouldn't call it terrible management, I think it was a poor decision to bring whitehead on rather than Etherington, but if Wilson didn't have come off, you never know what the third sub would have been.
Potterpistol perhaps the new member should not be coming on and right away telling us all to go and watch another team after 40+ years of support!
I don't mind criticism but that is harsh. Whitehead has been one of the few shining lights over the past few months. His displays have been of the top drawer, only Huth has been as consistently good.
