Good result; we are in a far better place than most of the doom and gloomers predicted pre-season.
ManU will come to play football.

Definitely didn't see us scoring once they got their goal so I'm happy with that result.
And one less time we have to endure a Tony Pulis match. Happy days.

Decent point against one of the most negative teams ever.
I'm so pleased he's not our manager any more. Truly awful to watch they have one tactic play for set pieces and have 10 behind the ball.
Thought Choupa did ok but we need a proper front man and a more powerful CM besides the excellent Fletcher.

We've got to be happy with a point after going 1 down,plenty to improve on but 4 points from the last 2 games and a Cup win make it a good week.Now on to transfers where hopefully we can bring a couple in👍

lot of empty seats at the borethrones Got to doff your cap to them, true to their word- "they'd rather be relegated than watch that shite". Or just not go. Can't blame a single one of them for staying away. Pulis is the fucking antichrist of football. |

I'll take that...... I'm sure I saw Jon Snow in West broms defense. Talk about a defensive wall.

Beforehand I would have taken a point, but we had so much possession and did so little with it.
A few thoughts:
1. Choupo is not a centre forward.
2. Ramadan at right wing back is worth looking at.
3. We need more pace and urgency going forward and a new striker to play as the focal point of the attack.
4. Shaq was not properly fit and didn't dare to try to sprint. Why play him?
5. Bar a total cock up at the back we would have been pulised again, but in the end it is a good point.
6. Thank God we only have to suffer 2 games a season of that these days.

I think we all knew a draw was likely. It looked bloody hot out there. My only criticism is that in the 3 games we haven't really created many chances.

We scored from a complete fuck up by them not by some magic substitution which changed the game..... Yes but he was there. Would Berahino or Jesé have been.? He always is. Slagged to death on here. Two goals in a week |

Showed Cameron how to do it then  Cameron was good, your disdain for him is nothing new seeing Zouma fell asleep. As a wing back Cameron is simply not good enough his crossing and temperament in their area abysmal. |

Even at RB Ramadan was a source of danger for Stoke, entered the box easily, made 2-3 low crosses hard for the tall defenders of west brom He should be fucking playing every week. He was our only threat, Shaqiri included. |

We're doing good but Fletcher seems to be the buy of the window for me. I love his style of play, tough, direct and ruthless on defence and he won't be having bystanders in the side.

Good point and we've got our Hawthorns visit out of the way nice and early. I'm classing this as good day's work.

Good result, 4 points from 3, could have easily got 0 points from the opening fixtures.
Major positive is that in all 3 games we've performed well.

Happy with a point as it's more than we usually get.
The way our goal came about made it even more satisfying!
Can't help think Tone is playing games again..they were miles better than that when we last came here.
One team wanted to win..the other not to lose.

You can see why people don't want to watch either side, this game is complete dross. WBA can make any side look poor so negative are there tactics would like us to have run at them more. Too many lay offs rather than attacking the defender. Thought Fletcher was excellent again as was Zouma. |

Cameron was good, your disdain for him is nothing new seeing Zouma fell asleep. As a wing back Cameron is simply not good enough his crossing and temperament in their area abysmal. I agree, Cameron should be a midfielder and center back which are his actual position as there is better in the side now at RWB and RB. |

Would've taken a point at the start of the game, so that's a positive. We've come from behind to get something from the game, something we struggled to do last season, so that's a positive. I like positivity  |

I don't see WBA setting the heights they did last season. I don't see it away from home.

Away point against the master of disaster is a great result, I would have loved a 6-0 win but you are never going to get that against a Pulis team.
With the new lads still settling in and hopefully a couple of more to come that has to be a good result.
PS and we scored which is more than I dared hope for.
