So we head into our final game of the 23/24 season against the Robins this Saturday.

I would imagine like me, most Stoke fans are just relieved that the game has 0 significance in our season, I'm not sure many could have coped with us needing something from this to stay in the league.

Although the season hasn't been what we had all hoped for and again we have had turmoil throughout I think the players and the management team deserve a decent reception on Saturday, at times we have looked down and out this season but they've somehow managed to pull things round enough to keep us up.

It's a typical end-of-season game now for two teams that can't go up or go down so I don't expect an exhilarating affair, I also think SS will make changes for this one to give some of the lads who have played a lot recently an extra week off.

I would love us to go into the summer with 3 straight wins under our belt so I am going for a 2-0 home win.

3-1 Stoke for me, I think the game could be a great opportunity show intent for next season. And I believe that’s the message Schuey will be giving the players…
Let’s take some momentum into pre season.

I think SS will want to win this and win it in style to send us all home happy and filled with optimism for next season.

Strong line up from kick off will see us romp to a 3-0 lead at half time before adding a fourth on the hour mark. From then on it’s a stream of substitutions as Lowe and Sidibe among others get some game time.

4-0 Stoke 👍

A 2-1 win. Shame the season can't carry on as think the team & Schumaker are both on the same page now. Mind you, Bae for one must be glad of a few weeks off!

Looks that way! A good pre-season will be really important for them though.

He doesn’t get anywhere near as much credit as he should, but the fitness coach we brought from Plymouth is exceptional. Plymouths greatest strength was their fitness when bossed League 1. And I’ve seen a remarkable difference in our fitness since he joined also (he came two weeks after Schuey). I really think we haven’t seen the best yet, and pre-season will be really important for the squad.

Be great to finish with some momentum tomorrow, it’ll make a difference after a break coming back knowing where they were. Haven’t had that again in such a long time.

Absolutely brilliant. That’s some way to finish off the season! We finally have some players who look very good at this level, it’s about time.

I’m excited for the next season but remaining realistic. Hoping for good recruitment and a hard-working pre season for us to be ready from the off.

Been a joy getting to know some of you on here this year 👏🏻

Ok, so Manhoef was 10 mins early with the fourth but I think I was pretty close.

Just thought I’d remind you all of my earlier post 😂😂😂

I know a family of six who are season ticket holders and who were away this bank holiday so not sure if that’s still accounted for in the attendance?

All season tickets are counted in the attendance whether they turn up or not.

Would have been good to fill the place but bank holiday weekend, last game and nothing to play for taken into account I don’t think 26,500 is too bad given the miserable season we’ve suffered.

Carry on from where we left off yesterday and they’ll all come back 👍
