And to think I was gutted when they let Lambert move on, this guy is taking it to new level. Keep up the good work Gary.

Said at the the end of the Forest game, when we should have won by 3+ goals and conceded in the last min due to a refereeing howler, that someone would be spanked by us soon based on our opening 3 performances.

Smashing the bookies favourites for promotion on their own back yard and them going 90 minutes without registering a single shot on target is very impressive, good to see our young defence getting better each game.

Only negative is that we didn't convert more, could easily have been 5-0.

Should really be on 12 points from 12, but we'll take it, 7 points from 4 against 4 of the 4 biggest spenders and 4 of the promotion favourites is a brilliant start. We had the hardest start out of any side in the division.

Loving the power and pace throughout this side, plenty of depth as well, we'll turn a few other sides over this season I reckon.

You've done well this season and are obviously looking like a good team but don't let the bookies thing fool you with Stoke because they're awful.

Rowett has had a transfer mare this summer.

He's pretty much kept the same awful squad that Hughes built, minus their best player in Shaqiri, and has added dross who aren't good enough for the premier League. Williams, Martina, Ince, McClean etc. It's crap. Ince is the only one out of them that should have got a deal.

His recruitment will cost him. His football isn't attractive but it has been effective in the past in getting results. He's going to struggle with this band of wasters that he's accumulated together.

Aye to be fair was surprised with Stoke being favourites, squad is far too old. WBA for me look the strongest, got goals all over the team and are arguably the strongest on paper. Leeds and Villa look the strongest 3.

Stoke battered us for the first 20 minutes, should have scored and had a goal chalked off (wrongly apparently). We hit them with a goal on the break and they went to pieces. Second half we bossed them, proper impressive game management. James McClean hasn’t changed since he left us, still all graft and zero end product.

Somethings not right at Stoke. Fighting in the tunnel at HT. Trouble there no doubt about it, lots of big egos and a manager out of his depth.

Stoke fans are in absolute turmoil over losing 3-0 at home to little old Wigan.

Rowett is totally clueless.

The average age of their squad must be 30 plus which hardly helps against pacey players.

Stoke fans are still convinced they are a big club then? slotting in nicely as an average sized club within the champs now

Should see their forum and their main fans page on Facebook. Absolute meltdown over the last 8 months.
