WTF was that all about today. I can`t remember a more inept home performance . They started off strolling about as though it was an exhibition game,instead they made an exhibition of themselves! Do they suddenly think they are Barcelona? No drive or penetration,if they played till next week they`d never have scored!! They looked absolutely clueless. I thought Arnaotuvic was rubbish,mind you they all were. N`zonzi and Wilson were awful. The only one who put himself about a bit was Pennant. A truly terrible display
QPR fan here in peace I see hughes has finally got you playing his way....Absolutely f-ing clueless. Get rid of him quick or you will suffer the same fate as us. Good luck, you will need it
Quality mate... Dont say no-one warned ya. BTW, I wasnt having a dig mate. Just feel sorry for you having that clueless f**k in chrage. Think you may have taken it the wrong way mate. Like i said. Good luck !
I am coing to Queensland is all you can do is swear? I hope the natives have a little more class than you obviously do!
Sorry mate, but that makes no sense? Im guessing you are saying you are going or coming to Queensland? And all i can do is swear? Is that correct? No mate, you are wlcome to visit where ever you want. And also, no mate its not all i can (we can?) do? As for the natives / Australians having class...you are going to be sadly disappointed mate. Between the racism, Bikey wars, Drug running and crime there is lots going on. Some nice beaches also! Like i said., I think you have taken this the wrong way. I have nothing against Stoke at all & was supprised at your good start. Also supprised you sacked Pullis but thats another topic. Genuinely wish you luck. i was making a point that Mark Hughes is not a very good manager and his past record shows that if you need proof. I hope he doesnt do to you what he did to us. He was (and still is ) absolutely clueless. Ask any supporter of any club he has ever manged? I just hope you dont find out the hard way like our board did. Again, Good luck
Queenslander, Your entitled to your views but he's our new manager and so far has got us playing not only football but attractive football something we have not had a lot of in recent times. So most of us are happy with him so far and will allow him to hang himself if that is the case later on.
Queens Lander Fair play for coming back and wishing us well. But, I re-read your first comment and unless you have seen all our other games you are wrong. Norwich played well, we we're s..t it's the FIRST time this season the team has let us down. so as for MH being Fking clueless I beg to differ that's all.
OK guys, Its all about opinions and we'll have to agree to dis-agree. Like i said good luck and I hope he doesnt undo all the hard work and effort your previous manager and players have put in to make you an established Premiership team. I have seen some / most of your performances as i always try to keep a watch on ex-qpr players & managers (Crouchy being the main reason but now also Hughes) & your style is deffinately diffrent to your "style" under Pullis. Hope it lasts for you and we meet again next season...preferably in the Premiership
I think that the main problem was the timing of your post, so close after we had our worst performance of the season. It was a very sore point for me (and many others on here) and Every fan will defend their team to the hilt, I was very sore, aggressive and annoyed about our performance and I maybe was wrong for writing some things on here suggesting that other stoke fans were wrong to have a go at the team and manager after the Norwich game. Every fan is entitled to their opinion, I just think that we need to let it ride for a bit before we really start to judge, after one very poor game in seven I personally dont think that time is yet and not for a few more bad games yet (hopefully we play well though in the next few games). To be honest though the last thing we needed after the Norwich game is a "told you so" post from a QPR fan. Its obvious to see though that you seem a decent person and deserve credit for the way that you handled this thread after your fist post. Youre welcome on this board any time (just dont come on after we play bad and say "told you so") ha ha good luck for the rest of the season.
Well said ricc ,I agree 100% regarding Queenslander,and we both felt the same about the game but we just reacted in different ways,(hence my post)!! I don`t think you were wrong,everyone on here knows how passionate you feel about our beloved club,maybe I was wrong for writing the article when I was so angry. I do however have my doubts about the future with the present squad. Our lack of power upfront was well and truly exposed by,let`s be honest not one of the top teams in the league.Like most people I welcome the change of style, but it`s no good just passing the ball from side to side and I don`t think the present squad are capable of passing the ball quickly enough for it to work like Swansea(who by the way were not allowed to settle on the ball by St Gallen the other night!) or Arsenal. We need to be somewhere between Pulis`s style(direct) and a more passing type game. I just hope the Norwich game was a one-off but I somehow doubt it. Sorry for being so pessimistic,and I hope to god I`m wrong
Keep the faith Joe, I'm currently watching you v Foolham atm & not much to write home about, Think a bit of the diving has made you guys look bad but a pretty even game at the mo. Be nice to see Foolham get tonked by you, but then again i hate Hughes.so Im completely neutral today. Good luck, i look forward to reading your board after the game...win or lose
BTW...apart from the socks..i do like that away kit...! DEont suppose i could get one without the Stoke badge on?....
I watched that game as a neutral. Stoke were truly terrible and deserved to lose by a bigger margin. Probably unlucky at Fulham, by they were due a bit of luck themselves.
