Just think our away form will cost us. The Wigan match was simply awful. Yes it was BUT we got a point there, unlike West Brom and Everton. We went to Wigan for the draw and got it and I think that is quite a good mentality away from home as long as you win most of your home games which at the moment we're doing. A point would be very helpful next week though.

We have made a very good start in our quest to stay up. IMHO we are at a crossroads and the team must evolve. If we can pinch a few points in December, our signings in the window will decide our fate. Our two main weapons are Rorys throws and Fuller. As the weather gets colder and wetter Rory cannot throw the ball as far and add to this defences will get better at defending it, the goals accrued from it will go down. Fuller is our main threat up front, we simly have to supplement him with another two signings, hopefully of genuine pace.
Harewood and Jerome for me and this will give us more movement and variety, yesterday we were TOO direct. Then we need a central player who can actually PASS a football and a wide player of pace who can deliver a cross. We then have a real chance of staying up.

6 games played in November, 1 loss, 2 draws ,3 wins.
You're right we're shit, lets all rip up our season tickets now and crawl back to the Championship where we belong.

I think it will be a case of trying to nick what we can at home and rely on our home games to get to the safety line whatever that may be, I'm confident we will do it.

From what I've seen, we should fear no one outside the top four. And by beating Arsenal at home means no one else will fancy coming here either. WE can do this.... ;D

I have never heard such rubbish in all my life. I dont thin anyone could have expected us to be as formidable at homw as we are, and if you include Villa in the top 5 teams in the league then we have taken 6 points from 9 against the top 5 teams at home, as well as a point at Anfield. We were unlucky not to win against Hull and stil have to play Newcastle, West Ham, Fulham and Blackburn before christmas, which are all very winnable games.
So i think the future looks very good

Becoming a bit of a recurring theme this, how about telling us who you support? It is a bit obvious in the below post that it isn't Stoke when you say, Stoke are this and Stoke are that.. Must try harder.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sorry but I can't see Stoke staying up.
Apart from Pugh Griffin and Dickinson we have no natural wide players out of 28.
For some reason Pulis doesn't sign wing men. Lawrence can do an ok job though.
Sidibe, Kitson, Pericard and Cresswell as back up to Fuller is also very poor indeed.
The fact remains that only Diagne-Faye is good enough on a regular basis. Even Fuller and Liam will struggle to have more than 10 good games out of 38.
We are doomed, 25 points at the very best but I would say 16 looks more likely.
18. Blackburn 19. West Brom 20. Stoke

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Based on what you've seen so far who do you think will be in the bottom 3 in May ?
I'm going for
18th West Brom 19th Fulham 20th Stoke
I think we need some pace and skill in the side. Geovanni at Hull is the sort of player who can magic a goal up from nothing.
Stoke are too predictable and without the Rory throw look lost.
Stoke's defence is ok, but the wings and forwards are not good enough.
Come on Pulis, prove me wrong !!!!!

I think we've given ourselves a great chance of staying up.
Our january fixtures are tough so we need to pick up a few more points in december which is likely tbh
Newcastle v Stoke, 15:00 Stoke v Fulham, 15:00 Blackburn v Stoke, 15:00 Stoke v Man Utd, 12:45 West Ham v Stoke, 14:00
The bottom three have pretty tough fixtures coming up so hopefully we can make further ground on them:-
WBA
West Brom v Portsmouth, 15:00 Sunderland v West Brom, 15:00 West Brom v Man City, 13:30 Chelsea v West Brom, 13:00 West Brom v Tottenham, 14:00
Blackburn
Portsmouth v Blackburn, 15:00 Blackburn v Liverpool, 15:00 Wigan v Blackburn, 15:00 Blackburn v Stoke, 15:00 Sunderland v Blackburn, 15:00 Blackburn v Man City, 16:15
Sunderland
Man Utd v Sunderland, 17:30 Sunderland v West Brom, 15:00 Hull v Sunderland, 15:00 Sunderland v Blackburn, 15:00 Everton v Sunderland, 14:00

It could go any way. Not until I read the Guardian's absolute panning of us today - OTT but much of it too true - did I realise that we've scored only FIVE goals in fifteen games, from other than set pieces! Take out Rory - and some player probably will, soon, - and we're struggling desperately.
We all know what we need but will we get them? More pertinently, will TP have the same ideas? Fingers crossed.

Have to agree- things looking so bleak- start of December, real to close to half way to safety, one loss in how many? Is looking bad. Teams like West Brom, Sunderland etc are just so much better than us we don't have a hope in hell.
Just hope when the inevitable happens we can keep our better players like Pericard next season and survive in the Championship. Is looking bleak -at least we had a go though.
Who do you fancy for the Prem title mallet-you seem to know your stuff.? Burnley could be a good bet

timmy mallet u sound like another supporter who has no belief in their team, if the midfield was tht much of a concern thn do u think pulis would of brought those players, im thinking not.. and as for delap he may of gt us 18 points so far and may he bring us 18 more. i and 27,000 other fans dnt care how or when the points come aslong as they do, stoke will stay up aslong as they have passion and the backing of the fans n not part timers like urself doubting their potential to keep themselves in the top flight
Pulis for king
