No win again

[PaddytheVillan]

Poor, very few chances created. Sliding down the league table toward relegation. 

[Rodders]

wahey, we didn't lose a game of football

[rodders0223]

Absolute **** garbage. Clueless in every department. No idea what we are doing and neither do the team.

[meregreen]

Hutton getting injured is a plus

[a m ole]

better second but not good enough.

[Demitri_C]

WeLl better than last few games that’s for sure, but still a very terrible opening forty  five minutes. Considering no mcginn or grealish in midfield it was a good point.

el ghazi motm but a very awful attempt first half. One things fir sure our play in the final third is absolutely shocking and not good enough.

one thing I will say we look better defensively at least. Stoke hardly had a sniff second half. Mings has made a massive difference.

Second half was better. I like Mings. Hopefully we're better next week.

Did you stop watching at half time? 

[Robtaylor200]

What is frustrating is that we see flashes of how we can play   when we want to  

why cant we start like we finish 

who is telling them not too or not making them do it 

 

[Skruff]

More then I expected. We looked very solid defensively. Created quite a few good chances. Could have scored a few more if not for some world class saves. We dominated most of second half. Comfortable on the ball. Happy with this draw.

I only watched the first half but I really like Mings. He seems to have all the attributes of a really good player.

Strong second half, constantly knocking on the door. We're just not clinical enough. 

[romavillan]

Unlucky to concede when Hutton was off the pitch, could have defended it better ans Steer got a good hand on it. Played ok first half, played better second half and Butland made 2 very good saves to deny us the second. Largely deserved the win, built on a good first 30 mins against Albion with lots of injury problems. Hourihane and Whelan put in a good shift each to fill the hole in the donut line up quite nicely. 

Good away point that easily could have been 3. Want Mings to be here next year. 8 out of the starting 11 are out of contract in the summer or have loans finishing. Needed the performance to take into some tough games.

Heard 2nd half we dominated and deserved to win.

At least we stopped losing.

Dean Smith’s points per match (30 from 22) now match exactly you know who’s (15 from 11).

[slovenian]

we'll start winning games when there is no mathematical chance to reach sixth place anymore

 

[VillanousOne]

Better in the second half and could of won it, but Stoke were awful and we were only marginally better in short spells. At least the players worked a bit harder and actually tried to get into space.

It felt like Kodjia didn't do much, the decision to loan out Hogan even if he has been crap for us now feels a bit rubbish, not sure what we have gained by loaning O'Hare out.

what happened to RHM?
