Is This The Time We Drop Points & Places

[a]

Losing to Preston, making it very difficult against scunthorpe and a tough QPR match on sunday and i feel we may drop out the automatic promotion places after this week

You will beat Scunny, QPR away might be tough tho!

time to show the mettle lads, time to show who are the REAL contenders for the auto places, a job that has Stoke City F.C written all over it (this season!)

ah so it was his fault ID, we now know who to tar and feather
What possess's people to sit there at midnight just to get the <<<<< official thread>>>>> going?

I'd be surprised if we were still top after Sunday, think we will be top two at the end of the season though, with a couple of good loan signings we will be top.

yeah it would suprise me if we were still top after the weekend. Us stokies really does need to lose the "when we win we are the best team in the worlf and when we lose we are the worst" Who ever wins the premiership wont drop points between now and the end of the season. Im pretty sure we will be there or there about at the end of the season

Obviously we WILL drop places if Bristol & Watford win their game in hand and if we are going to have a dip better now than last 3 weeks of the season - if we have to go for play offs at least we would have momentum then. BUT why assume we will lose? We lost on tuesday due to poor finishing and poor refereeing not due to any loss of form. Durability and team spirit have got us where we are regardless of who we are playing. Preston have recently beaten Watford, Wets Brazil and Wolves at home so it was no massive shock to see us lose. We were always going to lose 2 or 3 in the run in -as the others will do - it's the final points tally that counts.
