Rowett: 'We deserve to be booed'

Stoke City have continued their poor start to the Championship campaign, after losing again at home last night.

The recently relegated club were tipped by many for automatic promotion this season, however they are currently in the relegation zone after four games. 

Following the heavy defeat, Rowett told 'Sky Sports News': “I’m not going to try and justify any of that.

"We got the reaction that we absolutely deserved, I'm not going to absolve myself from that, we deserve to be booed, we deserve the stadium being half empty as we haven't been good enough.

“I’ve got to say to them (fans) that I can completely understand their frustrations.

“I’m not sure whether you can say it was far worse than lots of games last season, it wasn’t a good game and I don’t think there have been many good performances for a long time.

“For 25 minutes we were excellent. It was fast and attacking, we had opportunities and a goal disallowed that was offside.”

Stoke City have had more managers (3) than wins (2) in 2018.
