zerps gonna bring that blind optimism at us every week? Yeah I do and you won’t get anywhere by constantly moaning. We deserve credit today. That’s the players and the manager. I see a few encouraging signs, but nothing to get excited about until I see a different result. At this point I still expect them to give up late equalizers and have late meltdowns every week.

Negatives today:
Joe Allen (not just the miss) but seem to run around like a headless chicken at times, I could not figure where he was trying to be most of the first half. Etebo should have come on just after half time
Too many times players ran in to space to look up and have no where to pass and just stood with the ball like a lemon before passing back, movement of the ball needs improving to give more options.
Still something missing in the clinical area, so thing seems so close to clicking
Positives 1 point, and for most of the game we controlled the ball and the game.
Mac, thought he was brilliant today, work rate was 110% still silly mistakes but he is not a lwb but he gives it a bloody good go
Overall today was a big step forward even if the result doesn't show it, but you can see a new style of play slowly coming together and actually working.

As does the winless league campaign. Don’t forget last season Ah, so you did watch last season then- by your definition we tested lots of teams then. I did say we were better than Derby, but you’re like a Jehovah’s Witness, all zeal and no actual clue.

Or, I was taking the piss because people keep dragging up last season as if somehow a win today would erase it. This is a fresh start with a new squad and we’re improving every week. Unfortunately for you.

As usual, you make Bayern look like someone that you can have a reasonable discussion with. You are high on opinion but unfortunately have no factual evidence to back up your diatribe. As I pointed out, we were the better team today which you now deem as being unfortunate. We have taken 1 and a quarter steps forward and 1 step back- we look better going forward but we are still horribly unbalanced in midfield and the defence is all over the place- whether you can accept the fact that after 3 games ( 2 at home) we have conceded 7 scored 4 and have managed 1 point is up to you- but your constant “ look at how wonderful we are” is quite laughable. There is a long way to go before we have any level of consistency, once we do that which involves winning a game or three, then we will all believe that things are as splendid as you say, but until then, don’t let the facts stop you. By the way, I have us down to finish in the play offs in the thread on where we will finish. When we are there I’ll be happy to share the fish the keepers are throwing you .

Lots of new accounts slating stoke here. Are their IP addresses Russian? Are they taking school holidays in Russia as well? I walked back earlier hearing plenty of people saying how they'd enjoyed the game, Stoke should have won, we played well, etc so I expected better on here.

Disappointed with the result but that was the most exciting game I’ve seen at Stoke for months. I almost got my mojo back.

On the march we go. Two games unbeaten and a league point. Absolutely! Lost first 2; Won & Drawn last 2. I will take that as progress. NJ sounded like he was going to explode. Great, I hope he lets the boys have it on Monday. Quite simply be black and white. Praise what they did well and bloody well rip into them about the soft underbelly stuff. I am looking for couple of changes and our first 3 points at Preston!

Of course results don’t count do they? But you are what you are, and you can’t help it. As I pointed out, I have tipped us for the play off’s- this whole tit for tat started as a result of your “we twatted them comment”, and though I may be simple , stating that a 2-2 draw is a twatting puts you on a similar evolutionary scale to an amoeba- having said that, it’s single cell gives it one more than you.

Took you long enough to type that. You’re obviously not aware that you can completely deserve to win a game but not do so. Hence the term “a nil nil drubbing”. I’ve tipped us for the champions league this season but we won’t get there by creating loads of chances.

Reading beating Cardiff now puts us firmly at the bottom of the Championship league. If we lose at Preston on Wednesday and Leeds Saturday we are in trouble and Jones teetering on the brink of a P45. I always thought when he was appointed that he may well be out of his depth in the Championship and so it seems. We should have appointed someone with experience in this league.
