This is not an anti-Pulis rant but I not understand the strategy of going to play a club low on form and confidence and not setting out to attack them until going behind. Maybe I could understand it when it was only 2 points for a win. Is there any club where we would go and attack? What league would they have to be in?

Rondon - thank god for that man!!!!

Great goal from silly corner

well i never
never looked like scoring

A point saved. As ever not convincing and not very exciting. I wait for the new owners to show their colours.................

F***ing pathetic! Free kick in their half 93rd minute, and all our defenders stayed back. I'm happy with point, but isn't it worth a 2/1 gamble?

Bit of a let down after last week back to the same old manure. Stoke's goal was the first time this season they have been in the lead. Seems ever week some record for the opposition goes, first time to score two in a game for xxx games or first clean sheet in xxx games you know what I mean.

I agree Stairs - the man deserves some sort of award for achieving what he does in the circumstances. Difficult to think of a centre forward we've had since Regis who could manage as well as he does.

Exactly my thinking. First half Stoke looked divide of confidence and there for the taking, but grew into the game when we stood off them.

Was a poor game overall IMO with 2 poor sides. Considering the amount of money spent in the Premier League, it's amazing how many players fail to execute a simple pass. Thought we were generally terrible today, but Stoke were not much better. Lucky to come away with a point though.
