Weimann has to finish that

Another point and not a loss

It’s still all in your own hands, we aren’t playing as well as we have been last 2 games

But there was some lovely chances created when Fellows came on and we just didn’t take them

Happy, but disappointed to let a 2 goal lead slip

Not going to slam M’Vila for giving away the penalty….that happens

We really need a plan B away from home, we are too open through the middle

Really?  :o

Blimey, I'm a realist and call a game as it is and call players out for being bang average when they are, but first and foremost I am an Albion fan and always want us to win.
You call it as you see it , like ever other member.

I said pre match I would be happy with a draw and although we gave up a 2-0 lead  I am it keeps the points tally ticking over.

Didn't really watch it with full concentration but what i saw was poor.

No subs until the 70th minute? Come on.  Not as if we what we were all witnessing was great,

Back to work just before the introduction of Reach and M'Vila.

Sounds like Weimann missed a sitter at the end, legs gone and now his scoring boots gone too potentially.

I just want to see us play well again. That second half display against Huddersfield was majestic, but we have been off the pace so often of late, still though, I would have taken a point before the game. Everyone around us winning has done us no favours.

Two massive home games coming up now from which we need 6 points.

We play with too much fear. And defensively we look an absolute shambles since the international break. We’ve got the quality to impose ourselves on teams but we seem happy sitting in and letting teams throw bodies at us recently.

Not a bad result but it makes Rotherham a must win for me. Anything else and we go to Leicester in a very shaky position.

Seem to be losing a bit of form and conceding goals...

Need a win against Rotherham now.

Probably should be disappointed losing a 2 goal lead, but another awayday undefeated and judging by the in game thread Stoke could have been out of sight!
Play offs are a lottery and will be tough whoever we play should we get there.

Performances are dipping at a bad time , we don't look as solid as we did a few months back . Time and time again Stoke got through our lines unchallenged , we didn't look sharp at all .

Disappointed really. But strange though as didn’t even deserve to draw so I’m
Disappointed and relieved which is how I felt when we came back from 2 down last week.

Not sure BTA has done enough recently.

And finally, Weimann should bury that!

Yes, we desperately need a win. We just seem to be inviting too much pressure at points in games. It doesn’t help that we’ve had to play most of the season without a recognised striker. We just don’t really look dangerous going forward.

I think that due to the injuries all season a lot of these players have played way too many games and I think this is now catching up with them from a mental and physical point of view.

We took the lead against the run of play, have to give Stoke credit for their performance, first half in particular. We got a bit sloppy on the hour mark and let them back into it. Then we worked hard to get a third but a draw was a fair result. Lot of things we can improve on but far from a terrible performance either. Stoke fighting for their lives and looked quite sharp in the final third, put us under a lot pressure. Other results didn’t go our way but we take the point and move on. Our top six place and points gap remains commanding and games are ticking by.

Yep, I seem to remember it was similar last year.

Arguably, Stoke could have scored 4 or 5 today which was a bit like the Milwall game. If we don't beat Rotherham then we don't deserve to go into the play-offs.

Nine unbeaten with four wins in that spell in a hyper competitive league. Not exactly a crisis is it. Let’s face it, all the teams below us would snap our hands off to swap positions.

It's very true and good to get a different perspective on it.

The issue you face is that if other teams are getting more wins than anything else, us drawing and remaining unbeaten suddenly becomes not good enough.

Hopefully Coventry lose their game in hand and keeps a bit of a cushion

Is that how it works now? Thankfully Rotherham have already beaten Coventry and Norwich earlier this season.
It is not the taking part, but the winning that counts.

Just had a look at Coventry’s and Hull’s run-in and feel a lot better. Beat Rotherham and we’re probably 1 more win away.

Wallace scored our second but was anonymous for majority of game attacking wise we had no outlet on right wing that changed big time when Fellow’s came on for the couple of minutes.

I’m normally Mr Pessimist but I think we’ll finish 5th. I can’t see us getting beyond the semi-final though. Having said that I would still see this as a good season given where we were as a club at the end of last and start of this season.

I kept saying that during the match. We were playing very much on the left and seemed very narrow at times.

I should hope so, they're absolutely terrible and have nothing to play for. I assume those wins weren't away either.
