What a bloody awful game. Grateful for the point although it's difficult to argue either team deserved one!
Hit, hope, aimless, headless, throw ourselves around a field for 90 minutes. A decent game of footy never looked like breaking out once. The challenge is that, due to so many teams being threatened with the drop this year, will this kind of scrappy shithousery be a regular occurrence between now and the end of the season? Probably.

Really poor quality , they looked better in the final third.
What planet Fletcher is on I don't know.
Shaqiri looked isolated and alone out on the right.
Perter Crouch should have been Happy Retirement day son.
Rare praise from me Ryan kept us in it with a great last minute tackle.

Terrible match of Stoke, midfield is shite if Allen do not have the day. Fletcher and Adam not good enough. GCam and Badou should start next match.

Well more work needed on the training ground and a realisation playing two dinosaurs in the middle of the park will see you over run. Could have been worse, should have been a lot better. I can see this being nail biting to the end of the season. They have had 10 days! Not sure how more training will help. Our team and squad look weak compared to others.

I'm surprised at the negativity. I thought Stoke thoroughly outplayed Watford and were unlucky not to win. 'Thoroughly outplayed' ????!!!! their keeper didn't have a save to make !!! what have you been drinking ??!!

OK, terrible match, but let’s console ourselves with six positives:
1) We didn’t lose 2) That point moved us out of the relegation zone 3) 2 clean sheets in a row 4) Unbeaten under Lambert 5) No longer outright worst GD (joint worst with Huddersfield) [bit of stretch to be positive, I know] 6) New signing in a much needed area

For me: Choupo, Allen, Ryan had a good game. Fletcher, Adam, Shaqiri had a poor game.

Fookin hell, 2 nasty niggley teams tonight. Both deserved fook all. PLs subs - what to say? Suppose he used the only 2 attacking options he had on the bench. The fact that those were his only options is down to him. Why not Geoff for Fletcher? At least he has a bit of drive from MF. Lambert has squeezed what little quality we had out altogether. Hope this new guy can do something to pick us up, otherwise we're doomed

Think we are just delaying the inevitable. If that’s the best they could do after 10 days rest and training we are fucked. Nothing has changed.

'Thoroughly outplayed' ????!!!! their keeper didn't have a save to make !!! what have you been drinking ??!! Stoke had some good chances. Choupo-Moting in the first half was wide by the smallest of margins. Shaqiri(?) in the second half with rebound by Crouch was a good chance. Shawcross had a great tackle in the second half. That said, Watford were absolutely awful. Stoke won't get away with such sloppy wasteful play at other sides.

If that is the Premier League I want to get relegated.
Teams coming away to other small teams and setting up to time waste and play for a point from minute 1.
A disgusting refereeing display that bordered on the corrupt.
If the ball was on the pitch for 45 minutes of the 90 tonight I’d be shocked, I have never enjoyed a game less.
I’d rather enjoy more games in the Championship...

Cannot understand why Cameron was not on at half time and should have given Ramadan at least 30 mins. Positives another clean sheet, a valuable point gained and out of the bottom three. I hope Badou hits the ground running at Bournemouth!

Looking on the bright side (with the advantage of not being there):
1. PL is undefeated 2. We have played Watford twice: won one, drawn one, scored one, conceded none, points four 3. We have drawn the ugly way instead of losing 1-0 because someone switched off 4. Our unused subs are fresh for the weekend. 5. We are Stoke.
That's the best I can do.

Poor, nervy game. Of the few chances, we had the better ones, so not all doom and gloom. Fletcher, Jesus wept, what an inept performance, let's hope Badou can hit the ground running! At least it is an area we have addressed. A half decent window to be fair, with only a striker missing. But I have said before, if we stop conceding 3 goals a game (2 cleans sheets is a plus) then we will score enough to get some points. Going to be nervy though! Can't believe fucking Swansea and Bournemouth go and get those 3 points!

Horrible pragmatic game between two teams set up to get a point at the very least. Their tactics were a little more "cheaty" than ours but both teams defended to the hilt with five men (at least) behind the ball when necessary. Not much fun to watch and galling it might be to see teams around us simply being given points by teams in the top four, at least we have two clean sheets on the bounce. We now really need to pick up a win or two over the next three weeks and hope a few results elsewhere start going the pre-match favourites way!! We're no where near safe but its not quite as gloomy as it could have been if we'd have lost tonight or against Huddersfield - we'd be really in the sh*t then so I'm clasping to that tonight in spite of anything else.

We are looking every bit like a relegation outfit not just on the pitch but off it as well. Like Arsenal our club is regressing and its simply poor management at the top. I am afraid Coates has found reverse instead of 1st

Back to back clean sheets is a massive step forward. 4 points from the last 2 games is a massive step forward from where we were, but that was a targeted winnable game which has been compounded by some of the other results.
If PL sticks with that lineup much longer I would expect to be on the wrong side of the results we need to stay up.
