Lee On Solent Saint

Away from home we show teams too much respect. If we want automatic promotion, you go to these shite teams and you impose your game on them. We allow them to get a foothold in games, bring the crowd into play. If we started away games like we did against West Ham we would be much better off.

At the very least he might be more of a physical presence for us, unsettle defenders, create a bit of space for others.

Got to give him a chance at some point, never know unless he gets a chance. Can't be any worse than than what we are trying at the moment.

Really wanted it work out for him, but seems likely to be yet another in a long line of strikers we seem to pick up that just aren't good enough.

First half showing cost us again. Seems like we are showing teams far too much respect. Let them worry about us, not the other way round.

A team serious about promotion can't be losing to shit like this, either home or away.

Six minute, fuckin come on

Seems to be a pattern developing

Just going to be one of those games where we aren't ever going to score in

Have to say, at the moment, they just want it more. Looks like we don't have the stomach for a fight.

We have the amazing ability to make absolutely shite teams look like world beaters.

Fuck sake. Been coming. Pathetic start

What the fuck are we doing? Just a completely different team away from home.

The blue few should have been three or four up by the end of the first half. Stoke looked pretty average really, doubt they will be troubling the top two spots come May.

Think he probably meant our last season in the PL to be fair.

Fuckin Stoke making them look like Real Madrid at the moment.

Plus they are quite a physical side. Bound to try and rough up a few.

Oh well. Thanks for expressing your opinion on the matter.

He's an absolute level above any other central midfielder in this league. Proving to be a great bit of business in getting him back thus far.

Feels like an age since we last played a team in the bottom half. Have to be ruthless in this one from the off. Cannot afford to be dropping points against teams in the bottom three. Expect a tough physical battle against a team full of cloggers. One last effort before the international break.

I meant West Brom will cause other teams problems, hence the word they.

Take the point all day long. Don't see it as two dropped really. If they continue to play like that, they will cause teams a lot of problems. Happy to get the game out of the way.

Hopefully not an indication of something longer term.

Just seen that.

And Birmingham fourth I think. Not overall impressed with them either.
