Truly mind blowing stat. Doubt many other clubs have gone 1yr+ without a home equaliser in their entire history I imagine quite a few have; it’s just that they normally take the lead so never need to equalise.

Our home record is currently at historically bad levels, we have scored 7 goals at home in the last 6 calendar months since the end of August with only 3 being from open play (Vidigal v Hull at 3-0 down, Mmaee v Sunderland and Thompson v Birmingham at 2-0 down). The other 4 are either set pieces (McNally v Sunderland, Struijk own goal v Leeds, Johnson penalty v Swansea and Burger v QPR).
So we've have scored ONE open play goal in SIX months at home with the scores level.
Absolutely embarrassing and up there with the worst spells this club has ever experienced. I genuinely believe we'll look back at this era in decades to come and only begin to realise how bad it was.

Is it not possible to find a positive stat from the last 3-4 years? There has to be one out there somewhere ffs.

The only positive one is probably in the calendar year after MON took over, I think only 2 clubs picked up more points than us. The caveat being it was split across two seasons so it almost passed unnoticed.

Found one - best clean sheet record in 2020: www.stokesentinel.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/stoke-city-clean-sheet-record-4815888.ampSure there was a stat around that time too about us having the most points across the leagues in MON’s first 12 months after Liverpool or something but can’t find it anywhere. Unfortunately most of our best form under MON was during COVID lockdowns so was impossible to enjoy properly at the time. Never felt like we were that great at the time but feels like a lost golden age at the moment!

My first reaction when we conceded yesterday was to turn to my Dad and say "we've lost". Negative thought maybe, but with the ridiculous lack of goals - especially at home - its hard not to feel that way. Anyway, got me thinking when did we last equalise at home? As when we go behind that tends to be that... So, the last equaliser we scored at home in the league, was v Cardiff in December 2022. Since then? 29 league home games, 15 of those defeats. To put it in basic terms - every other home game we go behind, and when we do, we lose. Quite a staggering stat really, and just another example of the mess we find ourselves in. It just proves what a gutless, spineless bunch of misfits we have in our squad.

I’ve been telling you for the last 7 years 🤣🤣🤣🤷♂️🤦♂️ Fair play. You and Benjamin have been right all along. Much to common misconception, I really really really wish I fucking wasn't. I just don't see how it can be anything else. We've tried everything bar one thing and the shit show carries on.

Apart from just how incredible this all is, what adds to the ludicrousness of it all is that most of the main variables have changed significantly during the period.
Different managers, a whole new squad of players, different styles of play; different coaches; different recruitment model; different oversight structure and yet we still can’t score an equaliser at home.
Absolutely astonishing. The only logical explanation is that we’re cursed.

If we were talking recruitment outcomes, perhaps. The recruitment model, however, has definitely changed over that period (Technical Director; Head Coach; Head of Recruitment).

Crazy stat that is. I know it’s been going on for 6 years now but it just goes to show how quickly a football can fall. We used to call the ground “the bear pit”, teams hated coming here because they knew they were in for a battle. We are currently the complete opposite. 8 years... not 6...

For contrast in the same time period how many equaliser have we scored away?
It's some here and there isn't it(?)
Why can they do it away but not at home?

I think I’ve looked at this correctly. This season we have lost 8 home league games. In 1984/85, we had lost 7 home league games by the end of February. Worse than the worst ever? We lost 12 home games last season

No shock. The game always feels over when the other team has scored. We’d be better off waving a white flag, coming off the field and being fresher for the next game.
