A bit of perspective...

[thegift]

Yes we beat Huddersfield, but guys 2 weeks ago play a full strength team against a poor league 2 side and we got played off the park.

We have outdated, slow players across field, we don't play as a team, we don't have a goalscorer and our defense is makeshift. Our midfield is slow and non existent. 

Lambert has not even had a month with us, had not had chance to work on the team enough and can't miracles overnight. He also hasn't had the chance to buy players. 

Yes a win last night would of been much needed for us, but with Watford just changing their manager, they were always going to be doing everything they can to scrape a result. Yes they weren't great, but just a bit of perspective is needed. 

We still need to be 100% behind lambert and stoke.

For perspective, the people laughing at the Arsenal result the other night need some. A relegation rival have just got a new lease of life and none of the other teams look dead a buried. We're a long way from safety.

Lambert has nothing to lose in terms of credibility, stay up or go down. Its Hughes team Hughes mess and with it being so tight down there, a team could go down on inferior GD.

Which at the moment doesn't favour Stoke.

Last night wasn’t great but Watford came to spoil and with a poor ref there ended up being no consistent flow to the game.

But we have picked up 4 points out of 6 without conceding a goal since changing manager and we have addressed 3/4 of the positions needed.

Fitness will improve under the new regime and hopefully team spirit too.

So although it is going to be a tough run in, we have given ourselves more of a chance than we had a few weeks ago.

Exactly, under Hughes i genuinely couldn't see where the next point was coming from. Its an improvement, 1000000%

A few days in management him and his TEAM,have worked on the most important part of our weakness. If we continue to reduce the goals given away we defo are in with a shout of safety.

So far so good but early days, i am a realist, not a pissy panty.

I'll believe we've improved defensively when we actually come through unscathed by a team that actually carries a forward threat. Neither Huddersfield nor Watford did.

Bournemouth will be a test on Saturday and it will be interesting to see how we fare.

I thought they were in poor form before last night but they're unbeaten in 6 in the league (won 3 drawn 3). We'll do well to get a point I reckon. In our favour though is they don't keep many clean sheets - last night was their first in 12 games.
