Are you actually from Stoke?? š I suppose it's a kind of passion to constantly moan I think supporters in general tend to be to black or white with their views of manager / player We are very much a better team than started the campaign The manager hasn't been able to bring in the players he's asked for. We are playing against a team that have at least 6 at the back, who are always very well drilled by the countries finest defensive manager (((shudder))) Who are confidently riding high in the league I was hoping for a win...I expected a loss...We got a clean sheet....1point and we looked the better team I'm not convinced by rowett yet, but the signs look okay to me That Hughes style defence is gradually fading away (hallelujah)

I was saying to my friend last night that at times thereās no other team in this league that could do what Stoke were doing with the ball, in that I mean we have some very talented individuals.
Itās a pity that Rowett hasnāt got the foggiest on how to break teams down, it was obvious that Pulis would have 9 players behind the ball as will 90% of teams in this league but why oh why are we so afraid of actually trying to go at teams, we really are our worst enemies.
Itās another clean sheet but we arenāt going to win games by large margins as weāre literally waiting to get hit on the sucker punch

Dull as ditch water, I struggled to stay awake.
Probably a valuable point as we look to avoid relegation.
Boro will go up, we wonāt

6* Totally baffled why he took berahino off and left the ineffective Ince on. Subs were 15 minutes too late as well. On the plus side thought Edwards was the MOTM. 6+ * Set the team up well. Good call to move Bruno to LB and bring in Ryan giving extra height at the back against a tall, physical Boro side. Still poor delivery and lack of physicality in attacking corners. Coaching. Sound defence, with the exception of that 1 poor pass centrefield from Bruno and non tackle from Ryan, with Butland then saving brilliantly in the resulting 1 on 1. The ball has to go down the line or forwards far more from throw ins. Simple coaching. Afobe needs coaching input on his role and positioning as an out and out target man. Coaching to improve his jumping is also needed urgently. Appalling fiasco with subs yet again! The uncertainty that this created within the team while all this was going on almost cost us the game! Bojan should have been on at 65-70 minutes for Ince (particularly now that it emerges that Ince has had a hernia for the last few weeks and has been at 70-80% at best). Crouch was needed at 70-75 minutes for Afobe. Berahino should not have been subbed. McClean was surplus to requirements and ineffective for 10 minutes. The whole triple substitute saga took from the 69th minute the 82nd to effect and smacked of indecision from the manager. Boro mounted multiple attacks during those 13 minutes or so. Pulis almost capitalised on Rowett's indecision and the resulting interference with our concentration on the pitch. Our November games against Forest(A), QPR(H) and Derby(H) are crucial. We need to return 6 points to create momentum and then make an impact in our Dec/Jan games to move into the top 6. Goaaarn Stoke!

4. Itās becoming a real chore going. Slow, boring, mind Numbing, tippy tap crap. Probably 70% possession which the majority was spent going sidewards and backwards. Again no idea how to even apply educated pressure to a team that came set up to just try and sporadically hit us on the break. This more or less sums up what we were saying when we were walking off. 4
