Stoke City - Nottingham Forest

[JollyLolly]

Is this club that rotten or just the first team, management and owners!!!!!

[Marinakis Red]

Has to go that was shocking again. Awful. Devoid of ideas. Didn't change it again when 1-0 Down. Like for like that has not worked all game. CH the tactical genius.

Had enough of him the day he walked through the door. I knew what he would serve up.

How many of this starting 11 would get in other top half teams? McKenna and Zinck? 

This is a bad team, hopefully it looks considerably different by next weekend.

Spot on.

No matter who you have available, it's unforgivable to not even try.  

Go a goal down, you change it up, try and force them back, make them think.  Same like for like subs, again.  Same pathetic approach.

He simply has to go.  He's taking us down.

That's two out of 11, Wassy.

We should have won our last 4 games easily.

We are a mess. I see some still pointing the blame at our mew CEO and they want to give the manager time? Dane hass been here about 2 months.

In summary we are in deep…….

Can Carvalho do it on a rainy afternoon in Stoke ?

Said it before the season started when this topic came up - nobody will look good in that position the way Hughton plays us. You need the ball and you need some options.

he could try another curve ball idea

play Carv in he middle of 2 dcm's, Yates and Fornah, then he'd have options all around him, forget strikers they are a waste of time at the moment, just go for lots of running and passing, at present every long ball up field comes back with interest, might as well get some intricate creativity going from deep in our half

opposition would probably adapt by playing 3 instead of 4 at the back, but at least we have dictated changes onto someone else and could always change to another formation, but at present the '1' is virtually a lost player to us, if Hughton wants ultra defensive do it but differant and could yield some goals or something vaguely interesting

nothing can really be worse than today, 2 corners, 2 shots, non on target

Can't understand why for the best part of a year we still play absolutely garbage football.. players look lost.. I honestly don't think the players are as bad as some make out.. they simply don't know what they are suppose to be doing under CHs instructions

So, Dane's been here 2 months.

What's he done in that time?  What is he doing? He came in with a lot of fancy talk. And that's all it is so far.

LB?

CH?

Striker?

Ball playing CM?

Probably the worst start to Summer recruitment since Mark Arthur.

Other teams are getting players in.  Shocking recruitment window.

I feel so disappointed not only cos we lost but I spent $14 to watch us loose. I was a hughton fan and thought he was a good appointment at the time, but how far have we come. Chris, your P45 is waiting for you on your desk at the city ground, be a good chap and pick it up when you get off the coach.

Going down with or without CH

Without a change in manager and a shed load of signings in the next few days this is 100% accurate.
