We either played for a draw,win or defeat. Only one of them worked. |  | | |

The problem with that logic connell10 is once we fell behind for the fcuking 100th time in first half injury time we had no response .
That second half was totally soul crushing and far far away from the desperation balls to the wall I was expecting .
Stoke are pure sh*t but they schooled us in the dark arts of closing out a game and we looked so toothless its a massive worry going forward .
We pulled a point out last 2 games we fell behind but tonight deserved nothing and that is what we got |  | | |

I think we were time wasting in large parts of the game just like we were playing for a draw it was weird to say the least! | |

It looked like that to me too. Dismal, pathetic, pitiful, and quite possibly corrupt! [Post edited 15 Feb 14:17]

I thought we started quite positive, Smyth went close early on but then seemed very negative in our passing which cost us in the end. Not a good night for Chair to have one of his off days |  | | |

I had to watch a blue screen for the first 10 minutes, sounds like I missed our best part of the game. | |

Yes, that was weird in the first half. It definitely helped Stoke as it got their fans against us and therefore behind their own team. The strange thing was that we were generally on the front foot in that first half hour yet timewasting. |  | | |

we didn't do anything particularly exciting but did seem to start first 5 mins on front foot, Smyth had a chance, we were looking alright but that quickly faded | | | |

We didn't play for a draw or time waste this is just what this group of players does when it's a big game
They go meek , ponderous build up and basically take the easy option every time
A disgrace and we should be counting down the days till the 13 of them are out of contract | | | |

I can't understand why we looked so demotivated in huge games with Huddersfield and Stoke. Very concerning that we appear to have another manager that can't motivate this shower when it really matters. Similar performances at home to Rotherham, Wednesday and Brum will seal our fate as we really need maximum points in those games. |  | | |

I don't think it's the big game as such more that they can't work out how to break a team down when they defend as deep as Stoke did last night and break the game up with stoppages, was the same against Plymouth, Cardiff and Huddersfield | | | |

Good post as usual daveB it looked like we did not have a clue how to get through and kept giving the ball away stupidly so they could waste even more time.
That goal on the half time whistle was a sickner for lots of reasons but it allowe Stoke to lock it down and we never got anywhere close . | | | |

Great post
That’s the way I saw it too. As other posters have mentioned it also seems we struggle to play well when we have 3 games in a week, or in that mid week game, we lacked energy and intensity.
Stoke got their tactics right but when it’s a tight game to break the deadlock, you need a piece of brilliance, a mistake, a refereeing decision to go for you or you may be able to get out on a set piece. Our corners both for and against make for grim reading. The only other observation is that at one point in the second half we had 8 players on the pitch that weren’t at the club last season and yet we saw a similar performance that has typified us over the last few years. Not sure if we can avoid the drop now, Marti will have to go all out for wins which I can’t see us achieving. [Post edited 16 Feb 9:06]
