Could be worse.

Thought we looked the better side throughout.

We were the only team trying to play football.

We never really looked at risk. Fuck it, that will do, hopefully it'll be a boost for confidence.

Reasonable point, but we desperately need to find some creativity. Clark pretty good in first half, defence fairly solid. Guzan did very well. We should have won the game though and I think we had the players on the bench who could do it. Awful game to watch overall, but at least we tried to pass it. Delfonz isn't going to make it.

A good point. An ugly one but a good one. We were the better team and deserved that

I would have taken a point before the start of the game, at least we tried to play with the ball on the deck.

Anyone know why the pitch was made smaller, I thought it was illegal.

The manager could have been more positive and put Bannan on after 70 minutes. We should have won that one.

A very hard earned point. Stoke are the epitome of anti football and we survived their onslaught at times. Still, it's getting itchy bums at the bottom of the table with a few teams bunching up. We have get past the Chelsea game now and start to get a few wins at home.

We didn't look in any trouble, but lacked much of a threat.  Everyone looked OK - a decent point on the road.

It wasn't made smaller - they had to make it bigger for their Europa League games but allowed to revert it to its postage stamp size for PL games.
