Someone is going to get a tanking this season. When we hit top form i think a few teams will get one.

Why do people keep saying this? We have not scored more than 2 for yonks Maybe because the reasons for that are very different? Before the start of this season we weren't creating more than two chances a game in the main, hence why we never scored more than two. For the third game in a row now, including the cup game, we have created chance after chance for our forwards. We have also hit the bar and post in back to back league games. I think it's quite clear why people think we will give someone a good hiding. I actually fancy it will be Leeds on Saturday. We have form for breaking records against them!

As a fan you want your players to go on the pitch thinking were gonna smash you today. Its aggressive and arrogant but thats the attitude you want your players to have. It feels like that ruthlessness is coming and the sooner the better. I predict we will hit 5 goals against at least two teams this season.

And at some point in the long future of Stoke City, this three goal hoodoo will be put to bed. The probability that it will end when we’re in a phase of creating 20+ chances per match is very high.

We haven't managed to do that at this level since Mick Mills was our manager. There's more chance of us getting to 100 games without scoring three goals.

Even teams who win the prem have a poor run during the season, lets just hope this is ours and we quickly start putting some wins on the board. So we had our poor run last season at the end (relegation form) and have our bad run at the beginning of this season. Some people don’t understand the importance of starting a season well for confidence. I hope I’m wrong but I can’t see this run ending. I think we are in the shit n before you say it’s only 3 games it isn’t it’s 25 we have been on this run

Walked away from the ground at he end of the game v Derby more positive and optimistic than I have done for about 3 seasons. We looked to attack, created chances, had a plan, players worked hard. Great attitude. And yet still some cant see the improvement which is as clear as light and dark over last couple of seasons. With comments like "we're the worst team in the league" we are a new team playing a new system which I believe is good to watch and will brings goals and wins and hopefully it'll be Leeds who suffer a thrashing. Some people just like to wallow in negativity. People in here used to moan about the so called plastic Premier fans who allegedly spoilt the atmosphere at the games. Personally I'd happily see those fans back in the ground instead of the negative fans who post on here. I would be interested to know if these negative posters where Stoke fans before 2008 as they have a very blinkered view of what they class as good football.

Just as likely for a team to put 5 or 6 past us.
The defence was poor yet again yesterday.

Score three goals Score a penalty (be fucking given a dodgy one) Save a penalty See a shit refereeing decision be given in our favour
I’m fucking sick of being ‘nearly there’

We have to convert performances into results- good sides get results when they are not playing well- we are playing okay but have not been good enough to win. We do look better going forward, but we are struggling at the back, and you would have to be blind to not see how unbalanced the midfield is.

Just a win would be nice in Championship would be nice to start with dint you think? I am remember under Hughes even when we went 1 down we still believed we would score and come back until he lost the plot So years and years is not correct However our fall from grace is so shocking Just a win will do me Growing shoots totally agree but we are bottom = fact

We need to just look at winning one first Of all the criticisms to level at us at the moment, "bottom of the league" is the dumbest. For those that can't remember the days before the internet, they didn't even used to publish league tables until five or six games in, because they correctly surmised they were completely irrelevant. Bottom of the league ffs.. we're also only two wins behind the leaders, maybe we should get all excited about winning the league eh

What's the cutoff point for 'years and years'? Keep creating chances and the goals will come and thus the wins. The defence is a worry I agree and we need to sort that. We are bottom, that is a fact. It's also the middle of August, which is another fact.
