I'm 80% convinced that we can stay up this season, as our home form is superb.
But we have to break this crap away form, once we get this away win, then for me I'm 100% we can stay up.
With Ethrington signing and a few more to come, we need to ATTACK away from home

Always thought we'd struggle away but if we can keep picking up the odd point here and there then i'm confident we'll get the points we need. Then again we'll get 3 points at the Hawthorns . in't it a shame we hadn't had our 1st away game there ;D

1 or two wins away and we will stay up, I think its that simple really!

We're getting there, if we could just combine Wet Sham first half and Newcastle second half we'd be in business. We've got to pick up a win on the road sometime soon surely.

It seems to me that far too many people are treating the West Brom away game as though it's a banker three points.
Might I remind people that we didn't win there last season when we finished second in the league?
In fact, I significantly remember many Stokies on this message board treating that result as though it was some kind of miracle achievement!
Their results at the Hawthorns aren't actually that bad this season (W4 D2 L4), and apart from the games against Hull and Chelsea, all their matches have been tight affairs.

Agreed.
Etherington should be a great outlet for us. 45% of our approach yesterday was via the left side of the field.
It will give us time to move forward and keep our shape, whilst 2 players going to him, as happened yesterday will only create holes for us to exploit.
