Ooh im surprised! So you feel AP will be disappointed "not living up to his expectations" by some of his signings? Which ones? I would say that the signings so far have been decent.

If you really believe that then you're effectively critising APs signings this season. The team we have now is APs team (2 or 3 left now from last season) while Charlton and Norwich are a mismatch of freebies and last seasons under-achievers. What's it to be? Poor AP signings or we are not performing as we should be?

More proof (if it was needed) that we are so far under-achieving.

We are effectively Man City of L1 yet some still only expect us to just survive. Weird

Good idea - should do this at SMS.

This season = 2 Charlton 2nd (20 points ahead of us) Norwich 5th (16 points ahead of us) HTH

Not enough pace? Llanna is doing a nice job on the left too

Who are the 6+ better equipped sides? & why are they better equipped?

Stoke fans are passionate and give and demand 100% from the team. Read a few threads on here and you will notice our fans are more "im happy just to stay up" types that prefer to mime rather than sing there hearts out. p.s Spurs 9 Wigan 1 WTF!!!

Dave during his day job!

Come on Delldays be realistic - anyone that expected anything more this season needs to go to hospital and/or Drs' surgery ASAP and ask for medication because they are clearly insane. Wise up man & be realistic. Money doesnt bring happiness.

Yeah mine too - just staying up this season would be awesome!

Long may the new improved form continue. need another 4 or 5 wins on the bounce to get us moving up the table again.

I can only judge by my own standards - I am not a keeper (probably could be) but even I would have kept hold of the 2nd. The shot was so far out I could have probably travelled down from Glasgow and still saved (and held) the shot.

Cortese, much like myself will acknowledge the improvement but like myself would have expected to be outside the relegation zone by now. As it stands we will still be in the bottom 4 after 19 games (possibly many more) and Cortese and AP would have expected more. If we can dust ourselves off and go on a similar run as we just had then no problem - if we dont then the season is well and truely over.

Alright Ill let the penalty go - defo the 2nd one thou.

A decent keeper would/should hold both.

looks ok to me

One can only assume he saw the 1st half against Brighton and thats it!?

Are you for real? The standard of L1 football is almost laughable at times - Trottman has had 1.5 questionable games and now L1 football is above him? Mental

I agree

Not as good as we should be! We have the players we are just not performing to our potential.

Question marks over all defenders and keeper at the minute. They should be good enough for L1 so maybe coaching is questionable?

Charlton!!! They could be excused for being in our league position. Future still in doubt, unpopular manager, no money ect ect. (They are us last season) but.........They are 20 points ahead of us! So yes I do think its perfectly feasible to win games from day one. We should certainly be winning games now.
