Preston are playing Burnley, so won't mind if they kick chunks out of them, before we play them.

Only makes you wonder if you thought MR wasn't limited. I like MR but he is tactically limited and that was something we all seen after Adi and DL left leaving him standing on his own.
Yeah plus his track record before he came to us just supports the fact he is limited. Didn't Doug King tell him to find an astute technical No 2 otherwise he will be exposed. ….Only makes you wonder if you thought MR wasn't limited.

In fairness to Robins, can three managers they've had this season all be shite“Robins has proved what a lot of people said before he was appointed... It's his ex right hand man that was the brains, he's a dinosaur”
From the stoke forum. Sounds familiar
He's really not helping himself with some very odd lineups. Hopefully I'm made to eat my words but the last few times he's picked a weird team that everybody's slaughtered, we've lost and played terribly. Portsmouth and Bristol City in particular.
he looks far heavier than he did then nowI've got a couple of mates who are Sheff Utd fans and their fans love him. He looked overweight at the start of last season for us as well.

They may have to get relegated for that to happenThe club is a basket case.
They need to give someone time to build something there instead of pulling the trigger every few months
I doubt that will happen though.

They’ve got to let him have a summer with pre season and getting his own players in. Then judge… but… this is Stoke…
Another couple of defeats and he'll either walk or get sacked. It could be after we beat them.
His right hand man now won the Europa conference league as David moyes right hand man at West ham , stoke are on their 3rd manager this seasonDoes make you wonder
The problem is how you persuade decent players to go there at the moment. I know money talks.but FFP will stop them forking out loads, and they won't recoup much from from a very low value squad. Nearly any other championship club would look more appealing to a player.Robins will keep Stoke up - there’s 3 worse teams than them.
the squad is garbage, they shouldn’t have beat us first game, not sure what he can do with them. Got to give him a. Transfer window to see what he can change.

Robins will be in his comfort zone. I’ve said this before, he performs best when his back is against the wall.The problem is how you persuade decent players to go there at the moment.

he’ll create a siege mentality and push to sign players than might not necessarily be top players, but will have enough about them to run through brick walls for him
I’m sure I read somewhere his record is worse than Pelach’s after 9 gamesWorked well for him this season.....
Robins is successful when no expectation is placed on his head and he can operate freely within the confines of his role.
The Coates family expect immediate results from their managers and Robins has always been a slow burn but as shown here eventually yields results when he can mould a squad to his style and vision.
He won't get that amount of time from their owners. Burning through something like 9 permanent managers in 7 years shows that.
Well maybe they should have given him more time?I’m sure I read somewhere his record is worse than Pelach’s after 9 games
Probably, but by all accounts he was clueless. I mean if we had Rooney and he was clueless after 9 games - would you advocate for more time?Well maybe they should have given him more time?
Ridiculous club.

I don’t think either, but you can’t blanket approach it as “they need time”I can't believe every manager is clueless, there's something deeper lying wrong at the club.
And even if they are all useless, perhaps they need a look at their managerial recruitment process?
I don’t think either, but you can’t blanket approach it as “they need time”
They’ll have more of a view on it than we will,
we know Robins will sort that out, so he’ll need time. That being said, outside of us and Rotherham where he was really up against it robins hasn’t really excelled
I’m also glad we don’t operate like that… yet.The fact they burn through managers at the rate they do suggests there's something very amiss.
I'm glad we don't operate like that.
because he was a fan favourite as a player, but the goodwill only lasts so long.Seems like Stoke fans are running out of people to blame and are turning on Jon Walters. How did he end up as their Director of Football?
That was this forum a few months ago wasn't it? (not the Jon Walters part.)Seems like Stoke fans are running out of people to blame and are turning on Jon Walters. How did he end up as their Director of Football?
