Still expect them to come good but glad to see them struggling so far. They have spent a fair bit of money on players who have proven to be not quite good enough to be solid premier league players.

I'm hoping that they have bought too many of that type of player. Maybe if they all come together, their mediocrity will take over.

just having my usual mooch round the Oatcake and very surprised to see a thread about how the PNE police on duty at their game used pepper spray on them in the concourse at half time. Whatever the reason using pepper spray in a confined space like that surely can't be how it should be used? http://oatcakefanzine.proboards.com/thread/281768/pepper-spray-incident?page=1
I know Stoke still have a goodly selection of nutters but then so do we as do most if not all footie clubs but the idea of us visiting grounds we haven't been near for many years and them thinking its OK to pepper spray the ex prem upstarts is a trifle disturbing especially for the safety youngsters at games with parents. If I end up in a concourse at half time it's because I need access to a urinal not because I'm thinking of kicking a door open to go out for a fag

They’ve swapped from plan “B” to plan “C” and still no joy

It is a mistake to theorize before one has the facts. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts.

Lost 0-3, Berahino substituted, Fletcher substituted, McClean booked. We really have taken them to the cleaners when it comes to transfers.

Rowett is a woeful manager, of all the young English managers coming through they've ended up with the biggest dinosaur of the generation. May as well have gone back down the Pulis/Lambert route, it really is a carbon copy: 

Heavily reliant on British-based signings (something that I worry about Moore)
Foreign players not trusted (Etebo, Bojan)
Old school 442 with central midfielders not suited to it (Fletcher-Allen)
Zero consideration of the age of the squad and players being signed

I thought they'd get promoted in spite of Rowett because their squad is easily the strongest in the league, thankfully I can't see that being the case anymore because he's frozen out all of their best foreign players and is persisting with the 'ard working British plodders.

Didn't watch the game personally but according to co commentator radio reports and comments posted online he had a decent game.

When he was taken off the Stokies started chanting 'you don't know what you're doing' to Rowett as they thought Afobe should have come off instead.

Rowett also admitted there had been a bust-up at half-time between goalkeeper Jack Butland, captain Ryan Shawcross and James McClean

I do worry they will get a good result just in time to play us though, once the confidence starts for them they will pick up  :(

Stoke seem to be having the issue that I dreaded us having, in that a lot of their players seems to think they are still Premier league players and haven't been able to mentally adjust to playing in a league where everyone scraps for every point and there are very few weak teams. Being, virtually, every pundits pick for the title seems to have played into this ego trip as well. 

It's interesting reading comments on the Oatcake about Rowett. Most are unhappy with him from a tactics/team selection/recruitment angle whereas a smaller number are pointing the finger firmly at the players. Some fans are saying that they should have kept Lambert, some want Allardyce, some Pulis and even Moyes....all this while berating Rowett for being a dinosaur or a poor mans Pulis!

I'll be perfectly honest here.

I've never wholly understood the fuss surrounding Mr Rowett's managerial talents.

Don't worry if bera  dared to score against us we would score more,because were better than them and we will beat them,they're still in the shadow of Pulis and have a young Pulis as manager
