Great point today and ,Gooch and Burger were brilliant but the reality is we haven't won in 8 games which is a terrible run, need to beat Millwall next week because the longer it goes on the harder it will be to win.

The frustrating thing is that two individual errors have cost us points this week. Bonham against Swansea (although he was excellent today) and then Rose's moment of madness today. I think Gallagher will be frustrated that we do not have 4 points to show for our efforts. |

And let’s face it we’ve only got 1 from a fluke and a soft penno in consecutive games. |

I am not sure what you are disagreeing with me about? 😅 Bonham's mistake on Tuesday cost us two points. I am not sure that is an unfair assessment? |

I am not sure that is an unfair assessment? You don’t understand we’ve only scored 1 goal in each game and it will rarely be enough to win you games in a league that’s averaging 3 goals per game this season. Seems blindingly obvious to me. |

Frankly we play like a team that doesn’t expect to win so the fact that we haven’t for so long should suprise no one.

Quite frankly I think that’s bollox. |

I have literally said on multiple threads that our lack of goals and creativity is why we are in danger of relegation. Well we’ve been lucky to get 1 on both occasions so 2 pts is a pretty reasonable return on how we’ve approached the games, ie like minnows in a cup tie. |

It's blatantly obvious we don't score enough goals, it's also blatantly obvious that we continue to make individual errors that cost points. Gallagher will be disappointed with 2 points, especially given the missed chances and the nature of the goal conceded against Swansea. Sadly this is a case of another poster taking up every thread posting the same thing because he's been arsed to research how many goals a game you need to be successful. Think we all got the point about a month ago. |

Don’t care. Would have taken a point at the start all day long.
Expected a 3-0 defeat or similar.

Think we all got the point about a month ago. My overall point was that Gallagher has done a decent job at steadying the ship. He had 24 hours to prepare for the Swansea game and was taking over a team that had lost three on the spin. It was never going to be pretty, but he probably feels a little unfortunate not to have gotten more than 2 points on the board from his first two games in management. |

Care to explain how we go about it? |

You only have to score one goal more than the opposition to win. Yeah sure if you like in hypothetical world you could win every game 1-0. Unfortunately we’re living in the world as it really is and there isn’t a team in the league doing well that isn’t scoring 1.5 goals per game or more. |

5 games unbeaten so Mr Big Ego himself fucks off on holiday during the international break.
The legacy of Alex Neil .
50 plus years of supporting Stoke and the manager I've disliked the most ,by far.
Bearing in mind this period includes Ball ,Jordan ,Bates ,Kamara,Rowett and Jones among others.

Great point today and ,Gooch and Burger were brilliant but the reality is we haven't won in 8 games which is a terrible run, need to beat Millwall next week because the longer it goes on the harder it will be to win. It’s because Jared Dublin has supplied us with an absolutely woeful bunch of attacking players that would struggle to get into a league 1 side. |

Preston are sinking like a stone (finding their level they were top when they beat us and it was obvious they were so limited the bubble would burst) Plymouth are punching above their weight precisely because they score plenty of goals. I constantly read posters berating our defending/individual errors but teams in the mix concede more or a similar amount of goals but because I constantly point out it’s the fact we don’t score enough goals that is ruining our season and you get posters replying oh yeah but we’re sick of hearing that, if only we could just defend a bit better we would have won. Fools. |

2 points out of 15 along with Millwall and only bettered by Rotherham who are rock bottom. Very scary considering the teams we have played.
