MATCHWATCH : Stoke City (a) sponsored by Ibrahima Sonko

[Hound]

That was the worst half of football I've seen in years

What's prevented you watching us during that time?

Harsh but fair.....
2 points from 9 (as it's looking like) is utterly grim against poor opposition.
When that transfer window opens we need a couple of wide old fashioned wingers...possible loaneses?......I don't think I cant watch the rest of the season as it stands......it's too depressing.

I’d take a point today all day long

2 cold wet northern away days in a row

Stoke been in reasonable form - Barnsley will have Won 2 of their last 3 at home after today

Not great results for us but ok. And the game before we won of course

[Gunny Fishcake]

Apparently the last time we won a league game in December was 2017 against Sunderland ! Says a lot

[Aeroguide]

looks like this is turning into a borefest, once again

What might make you think that? Over an hour in, Stoke with 9 shots and Reading with 3, none of the lot on goal...

exactly

[Ascotexgunner]

Alan Macanamammcmnally summed it up on sky......just said he's cold and that's it. Suggested both managers try taking the keepers off. Sums it up.

It doesn't sound that out of the ordinary, but I checked and if we don't win today, it'll be 14 games.

[Jackson Corner]

No shots on target from either team

[NewCorkSeth]

Beautiful tackle from Moore and he gets a yellow?????

[Owlish52]

Fresh legs on - get one in, Loader!

[Owlish52]

Per the BBC, Reading's last shot was at 52'...

and like their prior two, was not on target.

[tidus_mi2]

No shots on target, oxf*rd hell.

[From Despair To Where?]

Ordinarily a good away point at Stoke but what an anaemic performance.

[Hound]

FT

Dismal game from the sound of it, but will take the point and move on

Keep stoke at arms length in the table. Clean sheet as well

[genome]

God, I fcuking hate 0-0 draws

[NewCorkSeth]

Well. It was absolute shite to watch but a point away is better than nothing. Dont think its worth doing a BFTG for this one lads. Everyone was poor.

[Snowflake Royal]

Well, we didn't lose!

Loader and Boye on to win us the game, instead of last season's top scorer and joint second top scorer this season.

Meanwhile Loader and Boye have 0 league goals this season.

[Victor Meldrew]

A patched-up team, a point to follow the point in midweek and teams around us not getting many points so not a bad day.
Not a bad day if we beat Derby and QPR.

[Victor Meldrew]

Betting on Charlie getting sent off?

Just the yellow card so far.
Sounds a really drab game with us having no shots on target and just the one corner.
The Championship exciting eh URRZZZ?

Premier League 4 games, three goalless
Championship, 10 game, one goalless

HTH

Ours the only 0-0 in the top 3 divisions so we do the unexciting bit today?

[Hound]

Yep definitely be disappointed with any less than 4 points from those 2 home games

[Old Man Andrews]

Great point away from home.

[Sutekh]

FT

Dismal game from the sound of it, but will take the point and move on

Keep stoke at arms length in the table. Clean sheet as well

Wigan away. Dismal performance for about 75 minutes then got some luck
Birmingham home. Dismal performance.
Barnsley away. Dismal performance (but at least not as dismal as QPR’s performance there today)
Stoke away. Dismal performance luckily matched by the home team.

At least Reading are finding some consistency.
