What he has to do now is raise the team for the West Brom game and the Hull game. 2 winnable games and 6 points that would resurrect our survival campaign. To win the next 2 games would condemn West Brom to still being in the bottom 3 and would get closer to Hull's 20 points. It would also shape our season and would give us some breathing space.
So, we were never going to get much from today's game but we MUST move on from it and get the 6 points we need and deserve from the next 2 games.

3 points or even 4 would be great. 6 would be fantastic.
After their relatively good starts both Hull and Brazil are now starting to struggle and the whole bottom of the table is tight as a ducks arse at 40 fathoms.

Yep, since the day the fixture list came out i taught the month of November could make or break our season as we had Wigan, Brazil and Hull. A point at Wigan was decent, and unexpected win over the Arse was great and now, as you rightly say, comes 2 of the biggest games of the season at home to the fellow promoted teams and 4 points is a must bu i am very confident of at least achieving this target

we have three very winnable games at home in the enxt few weeks and while we should never expect to win games because that would lead to complacency we should be going into all three fancying our chances.

3 is negative thinking from my perspective. 4 at the very least, we can't afford to give either team a win against us. 4 or 6 points please Tony.

Dont get me wrong, I'm not saying aim for 3 or 4 points, Aim for all 6, but a win v Brazil which wont exactly condemn them to relegation but would be one more nail in the coffin. Against Hull who knows, either side could win 3-0, thats how mad the premiership is this season. |

4 points would do for me. We should beat wba but hull will be a firmer test and I expect that both stoke and hull would take a point from that one

As much value as the points will be the psychological effect of two wins could have on the teams concerned. It could really gut the Baggies, and have Hull looking sideways. Come December, we could have half the points we need to secure our status.
Let's have every Stokie shouting for the lads.
Do it it for Stoke City!

I don't quite understand why you 'deserve' 6 points from the next 2 games? ??? |

Brown wont play any negative stuff, we'll attack you. If it gets ugly though it could play into your hands |

Away we are very defensive but it's a different kettle of fish at the Brit and if you think we'll be sitting back and playing for throw-ins against you then you are in for a rude awakening .... methinks  |
