I hope this isn't a "Watford moment" a win where we never looked in trouble but Millwall are the worst team we've played this season and it was turgid to watch for 80%. 2 poor teams slogging it out. That was Millwall's first loss in 9, 6 of which they've won...

On the flip side, we could lose 6-0 to Accrington Stanley and a certain crowd would still find reasons that it wasn't certain people's fault and would continue to clap like seals

Those are the fans who when we were 7-0 down against Liverpool were singing we're going to score 8. Never give up. If everyone did, Stoke City would have died a long long time ago.

It feels strange to have won a game again, but nice though!

When they're coasting to another 5-0 victory, or when the chips are down?

I don't think he was saying they were good just stating facts they'd won 6 drawn 2 don't think they'd conceded in 5, but yes they didn't look that impressive today possibly thought they only had to turn up.

In the circumstances, our run of form I suppose that was very unlikely but it wasn’t a performance to fill you with confidence.

In the circumstances, our run of form I suppose that was very unlikely but it wasn’t a performance to fill you with confidence. We had complete control of the game for the vast majority of it, we were still wasteful and our decision making was still lacking at times but we were the dominant team pretty much from start to finish. You’re never going to blow teams like Millwall away when their team is built on a solid defensive unit……

Is it just me who feels great because we won? I don't give a toss about what went before... I'm enjoying celebrating a win, and emotionally, I'm the complete opposite of the despair I feel when we lose. I understand perfectly the shit thats happening around us but the day I can't celebrate a win is the day I pack it up for good. Oh the joys of being a nogger fan. Thank God I'm not that manic depressive, Jimmy, who rang RS after the game.
COYMP!
OS.

Its great to (finally) win but to bemoan the those who are looking at the bigger picture, ie another season mid table when even the owner stated that anything but the playoffs isn’t good enough, is simply short sighted and borderline ignorance.
If that is the case then as long as we win the last game of the season then all is good and right at SCFC for some folk. It simply isn’t, and this season is an abject failure just as the seasons before it have been.
O’Neill has now run out of excuses (not his team, deadwood, injuries) and still we look like a mid table championship side, and based on the last dozen games we actually look like relegation fodder.
Yes it’s a pessimistic post and yes I am overshadowing a great win but the reality is that we are currently floundering about in 15th, when the expectation was top 6.

In the circumstances, our run of form I suppose that was very unlikely but it wasn’t a performance to fill you with confidence. To me, we controlled the game, did much more attacking than they did and although the end product was somewhat lacking, it was an easy win. Just exactly what do you mean when you say we looked ordinary? Does it mean that we did not put together several Marradonnaesque solo runs or Beckhamesque free kicks? Is an ordinary performance for Real Madrid the same as an ordinary performance for Stoke? What would have to have occurred for it to be judged extraordinary? Should we actually take ordinary as a compliment?

According to Pundits Stoke form up to yesterday over last 8 Games 23rd out of 24. Millwall Top on form. So its all about attitude of players on the day as anyone can beat anyone in the Championship - its all about the players Confidence/application/mental strength/ Refs opinions on the day & against or for Stoke/ Lady Luck - We need leadrers and grit and a bit of Luck.

I doubt anyone expected our injury issues from last season would be as bad again this. The team is still underperforming, but the injury disruptions - especially to Souttar and Powell - have been a killer.

Powell hasn’t missed that many games but Souttar has had a devastating impact on the side, if anything it shows our frailty.
