God why are people instantly thinking that we are going to get relegated?!
We have lost 3 on the bounce, a draw today is a good result I think stop the rot of losing 3 on the bounce... Yea it may not of been pretty but it was a decent result against a good side!!
West brom finished in the top ten last season and have some good players who have a manager that is in his 2nd season we all know that we need a striker desperatly, don't you think Hughes knows that?! And will more than likely address this issue in jan! Players can't perform at the top of their game every week! That's fact players dip.
This team is still in transition and things don't change over night!! It takes time, if people ain't happy then why do they support stoke? I'm sure if stoke had scored 50 goals and were top already this season people would find something to moan at!!
There are a lot worse teams in the league than stoke inc: Sunderland, Norwich, hull, palace, cardiff, Fulham... Stoke will be fine have some faith!!

It's the Oatcake, mate.
We win a game = We're finishing top 10
We lose a game = We're getting relegated
We draw a game = Fuck knows what response it'll get on here

Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that we can't or don't even look like scoring goals????
I'm not in full panic mode just yet,as Hughes still has time to put it right,but the longer the goals drought goes on the obvious panic from supporters will continue.

It's not the draw itself but the fact we didn't deserve it. We looked a very poor side. We've only looked decent against Man City. But there away results show how poor they have been away.

The warnings signs are there I'm afraid. We have got away with a lack of goals in the past but not in this system where the defence is cracking at times.
We have indeed lost to two of the lesser sides....both 1-0...no goals!

Yes we have but I think Norwich have spent money on crap and Fulham are an ageing team that without berba r shite, these 2 both won when stoke were playin poor stoke in the first 3 games of the season would of won those games... Teams slip out of form it happens stoke will be fine Hughes will finally get rid of the poor that he was left by pulis ie: crouch, wilko (loads of heart but ain't a prem player), Walters, whelan and stregthen with what he wants.. As was said previous he has had success in the transfer market on shoe string budgets and I'm sure he will in jan.. |

And we looked good in that game because the players were motivated by the occasion. Hughes is no closer to getting the players bust a gusset for him now, as he was when he joined the club. |

I agree with the goals etc but what u got to remember is Hughes has been left with a lot of shit from pulis.. Players really no one else would take.. Crouch for instance big wages for little he offers, Walters prob would get into a champ side but I don't think Hughes has got any better options tbh hence why he's still in the team, whelan no one would take him coz he's just shite full stop..
It's hard to get rid of players on big wages who aren't performing.. Hughes will get it right im sure of it

Then you changed it to say they would be down with the dead men this season. Now you're flouncing about saying we're doomed. Hopefully you're as accurate with your latest prediction. |

Hope so too, mate  However, every single day that Hughes remains at the club, the job gets that much harder for the next manager to save us. We are declining at a rapid rate. |

It's not the draw - we were outplayed and we were the home team. It's flying around here that a draw against WBA is a good result as they will be a top ten side, even Hughes has said it - thats The sorts of things Pulis said after a draw when we got outplayed.

I wouldn't go as far as to say outplayed, and to add balance they've recently won at Old Trafford. Still early days. |

Points are the only thing that matter and we are have stopped gathering them at an acceptable rate and in some of our easier games. Hughes has a haunted look in his eyes. QPR has clearly affected him badly. Time to release him from the nightmare and make an offer Cardiff can't refuse. |

Yes, Captain Mainwaring Can't see a Wilson being the answer to the predicament, unfortunately. btw. congratulations on registering the first candidate for Hughes' replacement March4. A tad precipitous? |
