First half was pretty far from boring. Second half wasn't exactly riveting stuff,but we played ok first half with what was something like our starting eleven for next week. How Stoke fans can find your own team keeping the ball and playing through midfield boring ill never know. At the end of the day we should have scored a couple of good chances first half and won the game comfortably. Given time to put his stamp on the team we will be ok,but it's going to take time to put things right due to the mess Pulis has left the squad in.

If that was dross served up by Pulis 'admittedly last two seasons have been pretty poor' then i dread to put into words what the fcuking hell that was dished up today. Like I said, we're in transition. It's going to be difficult mainly due to the hoofers brought for £100million and left by Pulis. I've been saying for years it would hurt us eventually and as usual I was right. Having got rid of Pulis, rightly or wrongly depending on your viewpoint, Peter Coates HAS to back his new man with 2 maybe 3 QUALITY footballers. End of story. 14 passes and then we were back where we started then the fifteenth pass we gave it away. Bring on transition, cannot wait as it'll be really entertaining.

The first half was goodish, the second was shit. Bayern to be honest mate massive respect for your posts and your'e bob on about today. I along with hundreds of other fans were left outsude until twenty past three, as you've said said first half ( the twenty five minutes I managed to see) looked OK until the novelty wore off. The second half was as I've said was boring and in my opinion based on today we're in for a very, very long season and we'll get a fare few thrashings. What concerned me today was SJW was shoehorned into three positions and looked awful wherever he was.

The only stat that really matters is Stoke 0 and in that regard nothing has changed nothing in the final third of the pitch of premiership quality at this point in time including all wingers and strikers

Anyone with any sense is going to wait until we have played a couple of competitive games before deciding how things are measuring up.

Without doubt Massive step backwards. Dire Stuff Believe me. Wouldn't agree with that. Much better possession. Invariably, players found a man - many times. Cameron looked accomplished - as did N'Zonzi. Jones much more urgency than Crouch [paper bag]. Mark Wilson was very comfortable on the ball. Jermaine was committed and involved. Pieters, Muniesa OK. Adam looks unfit. Palacious involved and looking for action. Perhaps, a bit of over-passing but, hey Rome wasn't built in a day!

No mate far from it believe me but based on that Shit today I'm totally confused. I along with the lads I went with were concerned with what we witnessed but the group we sat behind were impressed, all about opinions obviously but in my opinion we're in for a massive battle to remain in this division based on today and current squad.

There was a lot of disquiet around me today, mate, which was a real surprise. There were a lot of strangers and so it is difficult to judge the mood. As I tried to explain to them, these are early days and this was just a warm up match.

You know trigger I agree about SJW, but if you had bought your ticket on line a few weeks back like I did then you would have seen all of the game and maybe had a less biased view of it.

Nothing like giving the new manager time eh? If we're defending a one nil loss at home to West Ham, while keeping our better players on the bench because of a petty grudge, in Hughes' 7th season then I will start to hope he gets moved on.

He did play well and with him Crouch off two of our best players from that first half were gone but I think it was more down to the raft of subs on both sides.

I agree about Walters we need better in the wider areas than him, the chance he missed was easier to score as well. I just hope if he plays against Liverpool he can up it a bit.

Grow up KIDDIES
No goals conceded,the Pullis way,we all know we want a goalscorer,thats why we are trying to get one.Some difficult games coming up,so stop acting like kiddies until xmas,then lets worry if we are bottom.
More possession at away matches,means less time the home side have of scoring,simple realy

Bullshit idiot post. We created so much more today than we were last season. Hughes has been given a very very hard task so get a grip and stick with it. Agree we need a striker who can play the role he is employing but give it time. You and that other poster should get a room.... Freak Thanks for the intelligent reply - pretty much sums up every single one of your posts. Maybe you would be happier to go back to Jan-March earlier this year when most stoke fans barely wanted to go to the games because we knew the dross we were going to watch, the awful tactics, the terrible playing of players in their wrong positions, the lack of addressing issues such as the left back spot, losing the ball after two passes, not even using the wings anymore, having two shots in the entire game and even looking like we would conceed everytime the other team attacked. Our pre-season..... 4 clean sheets out of 4 games. 3 wins and a draw A much more entertaining brand of football 3 completed transfers for a total of 3million all international players and young as well Pennant resigned and looking sharp Palacios may as well be a new signing - very impressive Keeping Begovic, Shawx, Huth and N Zonzi An unfinished product - it will take months before we are anywhere near the completed article 3 weeks of the transfer window left to sign a striker Ive watched all but the first USA friendly and have seen progression in each game with our style and chances created We created around 6-7 chances in this last game - we really and truely should have won the game and yes it was down to poor finishing BUT as managers will always say i`d prefer to be creating this many chances at this stage and missing than going a full game drawing nil nil and only having 1-2 chances. Trigger here is a question - if you could take TP back and go back to the style we were playing are you honestly at this point in time saying you would take it?
