Thought Tonge should have started and I can't understand how Cort could be selected ahead of Sonko unless he has a knock.
I'll give TP credit for the way we approached the second half as the lads must have had a rocket off him at the interval.

Better than last week(where the result covered for a lot),and we could easily picked up three points,but not great.

8! The players kept there cool despite being goaded repeatedly by the Hull players and staff. Pulis has to be commended for keeping his players under control. I know for a fact I wouldn't have kept my cool for 90 minutes. I wanted to smack Brown and I was sitting in the stands.

4 - the only manager in the UK who would play Diao and Faye in the same midfield.

6. As hard as it is to admit it, a 1-1 against Hull is a good result, they've been picking up a lot of points on the road so I am reasonably happy with a draw, I just wish he'd stop persisting with the midfield pairing of Faye and Diao, especially at home, it hamstrings us and totally isolates the front two, it leaves no room for creativity and they sit far far to deep  |

4 - the only manager in the UK who would play Diao and Faye in the same midfield. Spot on. Both were completely hopeless today, yet we stuck with them. What the heck he sees when he looks out at the pitch God only knows but its not the same as me. Whelan or Oli should start in front of one of these oafs. A very generous 4 |

easy for us to be critical isn't it?
I have never rated Cort and today I thought he was abysmal.
Tonge seems to have something that we are lacking. Very definitely due a full home start.
Faye and Diao in midfield ???? mindset of TP before a ball is kicked.

Here we go again. Anther poor performance from Stoke so a generous 4 is all I can give.
Amdy Faye, why??
Why not Tongue and Soares?
Why no Whealen?
Baffling stubboness to stifle any creativity from a stoke side that just lacks any spark.
When things don't work Tone just keeps on hammering away with the same old

3. Should have started with Tonge.
If Amdy Faye is the answer, the question was rigged!
Once again Mr. Onetactic had his limitations severely exposed. He had no idea how to get us back into the game at all. They scored against the run of play, yet we still hadn't had a shot worthy of the name. We scored from a very dodgy penalty that was almost missed!
Too many players are guaranteed a starting place without consistently earning it.

9. every point is a premiership point and some posters would do well to remember just where we are right now I always thought this thread was about rating the managers approach etc rather than just looking at the numbers on teletext and giving a 9 if we won draw or lost regardless Some posters would do well ro remember how much better we played in other games this season.  |

6 - He just seems scared to death to try anything differnet in midfield. I can't understand how Amdy Faye has stepped in as first choice midfielder.
Come on Tone shake it up a little when needed, i thought we could of won that yesterday had we got a midfield that looked to support the front runners.

Let's not forget they have a good away record and we stopped them from playing. A good point that could/should have been 3.

7 for me aswell, not the best performance let's be honest, but from two medicore performances in my opinion, we have took 4 points, which can only be a good sign. Possibly should've started Tonge instead of Soares, although credit where it's due Soares's set-pieces were far better than they have been recently, but tonge just seems to add that bit of extra creativity, so i hope he starts on Tuesday. Once again i can only echoe a selection of the above posts in saying Amdy and Diao are too similar, both do a stern job in that role, but it results in limited creativity through the middle, something that maybe Tonge or whelan could bring too the table. Overall, a solid point, a game we perhaps created enough too win, but nevertheless credit too Hull who defended well, and dealt well with our throw-ins and arial attributes. Role on Derby  |

Apart from the goal and one Giovanni shot, they had very little to offer
Does that mean we played well defensively? or does it mean we missed a chance to rack up another three points
Either way you look at it - like many others I would have taken 4 points from the last two games
Also puzzled by the presence of TWO defensive midfielders in the same team, and even more puzzled by the fact that Cresswell has been constantly played out of position but usually gets on some time during the 90 minutes.
Yesterday, after arguably his best game of the season last week, he never got a look in, and Tonge must be worth a start now surely

4. too predictable, needs to be able to change a game by his actions from what is happening on the pitch and not reverting to what he does every week.

Most weeks i wait for certain posters to put their predictable low marks then bang a 9/10 in to off-set their phw bias. |

6 from me, could and should have done a whole lot better in every way. Saved from a lower score by the way we fought back towards the end.
