Our home form of late has been awful, things are tightening up in the middle of the table, and whatever or whoever each of us hold responsible for our recent home form we can all agree that our next 3 home games against mid-table opposition are vital if we are to finish in the top ten for the first time. What annoyed me most about our defeat to West Brom was the fact that we allowed ourselves to be drowned out by the Baggies fans!  I hope Woody isn't RB, Pennant and Jerome start, and we hit the ground running. However, whatever team TP choses it is vitally important that we get behind them particularly for the first 15-20 minutes. If we are to go a goal down it is even more important that we show why our fanbase is one of the most reputable in the country. In this fixture last season we were 1-2 down with ten minutes to go but we turned it around and won in it in the third minute of stoppage time. So this time.... DON'T WALK OUT WITH FIVE MINUTES LEFT!!! People talk about waving the white flag, but deserting your team when they are still in the game with a few minutes to go is for Man U and Arsenal fans, not Stokies. The Brit has become a fortress since our promotion. A venue feared by opponents across the land and a not insignificant part of our impressive home record. Lets keep it that way and get the Brit rocking on Saturday. Who's with me? P.S. Those who traveled to our last two away games... that noise was brilliant.  |

Yes! spot on...Loud and Proud! ;D
I think songs should be started in the Boothen and EVERYONE should join in, if you don't want to sing...go in the John Smiths stand!
Best thing about our support is how we get behind our team when they are playing shit or go behind...or it used to be anyway! :/ Now we all just moan, slate and don't even get up for the game. We are becoming like Sunderland, Bolton etc
Change it

Hard to disagree to this, but we have also been a tad unlucky! I think the ball only lacked an inch to cross the line against Villa which would have meant another 2 points (maybe it crossed the line as well?). Against Wigan a penaly went against us that certainly should not have been given and we lost another 2 points. Against WBA we really should have wrapped up the points, but missed a penalty and gave away a silly free kick in the final minutes so we ended up with nothing! I guess you could say we didn't deserve more, but we were really close to get a lot more from these games!  |

Think a lot of the silence probably comes from half arsed glory hunter fans who seem to have towed along since our Fa cup success of last season, the kind of fans that go and expect us to win every match.
Probably not much of a ground to stand on as an explination, but you notice the difference when were away, only our dedicated fans go to away matches after all.
