    Abysmal. Usual defensive set up, handing any type of momentum to Fulham from the off. The first half was embarrassing to say the least. Second a bit better but basically we can't pass, no inventiveness from anyone on the whole pitch, no ball retention skills.
    Particularly rubbish the whole midfield, Walters and Shotton.
    Let me guess TPs response-will blame the penalty miss, we worked ard and deserved something from the match.
    No we didn't-deserved nothing, got nothing.
    Boring pap

    Northern,

    I don't think we were as good as you said, we were beyond abysmal, it isn't as if we have a heavy schedule, we were dire today.

    Couldn`t agree more .What does it take for Walters to be left out.He is abysmal.I particularly watched him and he`s worse than useless. Wilson, was terrible,Crouch awful,but to be fair has no support. Hoof-ball at it`s worst. Terrible to watch and i feel so sorry for those fans that travel to these away games. The whole team set-up is wrong.

    Commentator said Stoke have the ability to attack but Pulis won't let them. Time he is gone now! <ok>

    At least Wilson has the excuse that he's been out for a while.

    I almost gave up watchin at half time im really bored now with the same old ****e. It would be some what excusable if we were trying something new and it didnt work but its not its the same old turn up hope not to conceed then have nothin going forward. How many times do we have to watch this rubbish ? I am seriously thinkin of not bothering much longer because i feel sorry for the hard working fans that pay the money to go see it every week. I even feel sorry for some of the players because they havent got a chance of shining in that team the way its set up or they are played even though there way out of their depth.

    Ruining good players careers
    Ruining a great supports faith
    Ruined a great clubs reputation

    Thank you mr Pulis

    Steven N'Zonzi played the game with a broken nose. We all knew that it was broken. What manager worthy of his position would leave the man to carry on, obviously in a great deal of pain when he had perfectly fit substitutes waiting to take his place. I too am embarrassed to say I support The Potters. Will I take advantage of the early bird offer? Yes I suppose so but in spite of Pulis and not because of him. I hope he is long gone before next season kicks in.

    45% possession and 2 shots on target, which I think includes the penalty. I noticed TP thought he should have got something from the game and whilst he skirted around the penalty miss he had no issues of making his feelings clear on Crouchys miss. Never mentioned Walters' miss in the first half though??????? Funny that??????

    Begovic had a good game, which is a bonus so at least we should get some monet in for him in the Summer.

    It makes no difference if we have money or not. Pulis is the problem.

    THAT is exactly what we're saying on here... we HAVE the ability but...

    Just read Clueliss's aftermatch comments on the BBC site.. we should have scored from the penalty but did'nt.

    Blame WALTER'S then? Don't faff about, it sounded dire and I did'nt watch it. F F Sake HOW much longer do we have to put up with this.

    Dross away from home.

    In the dying seconds of the game Stoke had a corner and Begovic ran to come up for it and Pulis made him go back to protect the 1-0 deficit. Bloke is a total coward!

    What exactly are you protecting when you are already losing in the dying seconds?

    I thought there were a couple of positives from today, those being;
    -Brek Shea on, it would have been a typical Pulis move to bring Whitehead on and play either him or Shotton on the left.
    - Cameron Jerome's early appearance. I wasn't expecting to see him until the 87th minute.

    But other than that, same old ****e. I thought when Jerome came on early second half that we were in for a turn around, but it was not to be. There's no point in making chan=ges and switching to a more attacking setup if we're gonna still play the same tactics.

    I don't have a problem with this. How many times have you seen the keeper go up and make a difference, and how many times have you seen him go up and it backfire? I know I've seen the latter several times, and the former only once.

    There isn't a word in this English language strong enough to describe that performance, us as a team right now or Pulis right now.

    It was good to have a look at Brek and the introduction of Jerome early on was positive. Big question though, was it by design or default? Both Geof Cameron and Ethrington picked up knocks and I would inagine the subs would not have graced the pitch until very late in the game?
