Don't think we'll stay up

[timmymallett]

The midfield is a massive concern and when Fuller isn't playing we really have looked a little lost for ideas this season.

The Delap throw has taken us to 18 points but I really do think we are looking too predictable and unless Pulis gets some pace and skill into the side we'll go down

[daverichards]

well I do , there are easily 3 worse teams than us in this over-rated league

[monkeycat]

Whilst we have just put in two poor performances, lets not forget they got us 4 points!!

No need for the doom and gloom yet, I think we will definately stay up, just really need to up the ante in December and make the most of some winnable games

[fortressbritannia]

Its been a good month for us 8/15 not bad if we can be on 21(ish) I'll wake up on christmas day a very happy man


Stay postive in tone we trust He'll wil make 3/4 signings in Jan

[timmymallett]

Just think our away form will cost us. The Wigan match was simply awful.

[Hiram]

January sales?

It was a poor performance that still netted us a valuable point. If someone had offered you, at the start of the season, or even after the Bolton game, 18 points by the end of November, wouldn't you have taken it?

[Hiram]

Obviously, yes. But we've got to be more clinical in front of goal. There were 2 or 3 good chances to take all the points after the equaliser today. You've got to admire Hull for their ability to take advantage of their very few opportunities

[canaladict]

Any point away from home is a bonus at the moment, we don't get points for style, ask the Baggies

[Deleted]

Fucking hell nice to see the positives. We have 18 points and still in with a very good shout of survival. We are competitive at home and strong, ok we have not looked great and maybe TP should perhaps jig the midfield a little but to write us off is a bit extreme mate

Keep behind them TP knows what is needed he isn't stupid so January should be interesting.

Goarrnnn Stoke.

[timmymallett]

Ilford,

We have a poor midfield at best. I think we'll go on a poor run now and be 19th by January.

[powchirper]

West brazil, Sunderland both look doomed, so there's one more place to be had, just need one more team to hit the wall and we're safe.

Spot on Dave, but it could be that the 3 worst sides don't go down. It's that tight that hit bad form at the wrong time and you could be fooked.

Anyone who isn't concerned about our lack of quality in the middle of the park is deluded.

[Hiram]

with 5 points between 18th and 7th, the premier is this year's ccc. It's much too early to write off anyone or for to count any chickens...




with the exception of Brazil maybe, he he he

[RICH68]

Timmymallet,F**K OFF back to the jungle !!!!

[mermaidsal]

I'm not delighted with the way we're playing but a team that was going down would have finished 0-0 v West Brom and 0-1 today. Grind out another 4+ points by Christmas, couple of good buys in January and we're in with as good as chance as anyone in our mini-league imho.

[goldengus]

Timmy - stop talking rubbish. You must have half a brain to have that speccy bastard as your username.

Blackburn are going down whilst they have clown Ince in charge.

[McLovin]

Stick this in the bin. Of course we'll stay up you idiot.

Totally agreed. Spot on! This league is so over rated, my shit supporting fan (who has a Stoke season ticket - joke) had been banging on about it being an incredibly hard league, and that we would struggle to overcome Derby's total - what a load of shit.

[XLITTLEMISSSTOKEX]

i think we will stay up, now come on guys lets think positive and enjoy where we are right now the lads are doing great we can't win every match but we must be there for them folr the ones we loose too, we did ok today and we got a point thats all that matters. COME ON YOU MIGHTY POTTERS.

[macmozzer]

we'll stay up,every team that come to the brit are as good as we let them be........it's in our own hands!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!we're our own worst enemy, like all geniuses!!!

[serpico]

way to early to be predicting clubs for relegation, you string 2-3 wins together and you're out of the bottom half, hopefully the likes of sunderland/Blackburn/wba, stay on these bad runs for a few more games so we can put a bit of daylight between us and them.

[themightyboosh]

''We are doomed, 25 points at the very best but I would say 16 looks more likely.

18. Blackburn
19. West Brom
20. Stoke''
Already beat your prediction ah Timmy? Your glass isn't even half full is it? We're still well on target to stop up you know i really can't understand people like you get abit of perspective don't forget there's still alot of points available before January
Newcastle-winable
Fulham-winable
Blackburn-winable
Man Ure-probably not so winable but at home you never know
West Ham-winable
We only need 2points from the next 4 games to be on track at the halway point which we're more than capable of.
So for everybodys sake calm down

[Cityfullergoals]

Brazil - seven points adrift

Sunderland - Manager has lost faith in himself and now seems like he may be on the brink - and they visit Old Twatford next week

Blackburn - Have an inexperienced manager, visit Pompey today, and may be losing their best player in January

Newcastle - According to todays papers WILL NOT be getting any spending money in January

We have money to spend, but it must be spent on the right type of players - ones that will consolidate our good start, and take us to the next level - mid table safety

I certainly think it is possible to stop up - we have to believe and keep filling the Brit EVERY home game

[TheWiseMaster]

Dont be such a wimp timmy - no wonder you got put up for eviction from the jungle

Since we lost to Man City we have lost one out of six (Euro form) and are one point off mid table

We didn't buy too well pre season and Pulis has already said he needs to get in some quality attackers

Meanwhile we battle away - hopefully picking a few more points up to the transfer window so that we are ahead of the 40 point schedule - as we are now FFS!

[OldStokie]

Well, I do. We have 18 points and if we can get another 4 before the end of the year, looking at our home fixtures in the second half of the season and basing the competitiveness of us at home plus we might be able the strengthen the midfield in January, we can amass about 42 points methinks. For the first time this season, I can begin to see the light of salvation.

OS.

Can understand what you mean. Hopefully we will finish somehwere around where we are now.

We will not win all our home games and we do need a couple of 3 pointers away from home to help out but apart from Boro for the first 20 minutes we have not looked like having a go at anybody away.
