Win both games Stoke stay up imo. Key game we need Soton v Swansea to be a draw. That will make life so much easier. Huddersfield can luck box a point somehow and still end up with worse GD (and finish below us) than us if we win out given they should get drilled in at least one remaining game.

When we've not won a game in close to 4 months it's hard to see back to back wins! If we do get 3 points against palace though you never know...
Just paid for next year's season ticket anyway. Fingers crossed it's against United and city, not Shrewsbury and Burton

when you have dropped 16 points from winning positions i think its possible. Andy Carroll isn't going to step off the bench and score a screamer against us every week surely?

Still the massive issue of scoring. Our attacking line is shocking.

zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz 19 points lost from winning positions. Incredible. Would never have happened under TP. Be careful what you wish for in life.

Some of us were happy with hoofball under Tony, but we had a couple of great seasons under Hughes. Should have gone last summer at the latest. Complacency at it's finest. The next chapter at it's finest.
Reckon Lambert will stay? I just hope we throw a bit of cash at it to try and get straight back up, especially that butland and Shaqiri alone should fetch us £50-60m

LAmbert is 1.01 to stay surely? He isn't going to get a bigger job. Stoke are loyal and signed him with a view to going down anyway to a multi year deal. The easiest way to go straight back up is bankroll the players you have and don't let them go. The ones you don't want to stay always do and the ones you do want to stay like Butland and Shaq leave.

I think with the backing of the board Lambert will get you straight back up.
He’s a good coach and was on a hiding to nothing he needs a clear out of some of the players who lack heart and fight.

What does Stoke’s starting XI look like next season? Allowed 3 unknowns. Interested in who you think will stay for the champ battle.

skybet's opening show of 7/1 for the league next year looks very skinny.
Next year's team could literally be anything. I would imagine Grant will be the starting keeper as he did a good job in the EPL last season when asked. Shawcross won't be going anywhere tied up on a long term contract, loyal and club captain and probably at his right level now next season.
Crouch might stay as well. Can't see too many EPL clubs coming in for him at his age. Loan players will all return to clubs. Shaq got a £12m release clause, Allen and Butland will surely go. Ireland and Johnson are out of contract and will go i imagine. C Adam probably end up at Rangers with Gerrard. He was bigging him up in the media so probably fancies the slower pace of the Scottish league at his weight.
Berahino is locked up until 2022! under contract so god knows. Could be a contract from hell potentially or he could be a 30 goal a year man down a level if he gets his mind right. Can't see him leaving his huge long contract and no one would want him anyway. Kevin Campbell's son could be given a go down a level as well to prove himself upfront.

Interesting to see Butland and especially Adam very upfront and outspoken about certain members of the squad not pullling their weight.
Nothing more frustrating for fans than players taking the piss.

Shame they didn't say it before hand just after when they both want out. Adam clearly wants to get back to Rangers with Gerrard the amount of chirping he has been doing lately about that. Don't doubt what they are saying but its modern football and the way the world is nowadays across all industries.
