It's just a reflection of how completely devoid of confidence we are. Blues are really poor, and Stoke aren't much better
Blues have lost 1 game at home in almost 2 years, and have won 4 of their last 6… they’re not poor at all, and Stoke have the best defence in the division.
It is a joke we are as low in the league as we are given just how poor some teams are this year, but after 32 games, we are where we deserve to be.
Will 14 more 0-0s keep us up?
More than willing to accept we've been generationally bad but we've also not played one team this season that I've thought were good, that's how poor we've been. Middlesbrough a few weeks back were the closest to being half decent.

Ramsay spoke well.
Notice he’s talking about VAR giving the penalty never mentioned Phillips would also get a penalty
For the Blues goalie taking him straight out
If he wants VAR then we get a penalty, it's 50-50 on the Styles one and the goal is still ruled out.

Two pretty honking sides. If we can stop up and we should, then we've got a real opportunity next season.
I usually agree with what you say pal, and we didn’t play well for 55 minutes. But from them only one side was going to win that game.
I think you’re going to be disappointed next season depending on what you think you having a real opportunity next season is.

Given we will spend pretty big in the summer I don’t think anyone can say much about next season yet

Not much wrong with that tonight. As much as it’s horrible to admit, Blues are a better side and stronger squad right now. With their good home record we were always going to have to ride our luck a bit.
Like many I feared Taylor playing but he was probably the standout in defence. Mowatt and Molumby both excellent and there were some good saves from O’Leary.
Not sure we’ll score enough to win lots of away games, but nothing wrong with a point on the road. Just need to find a way to edge a few wins at home.

The thing is plenty will spend big. And the 3 teams coming down will be far superior to Southampton and Leicester I reckon

I just think there's about 12 teams who if they get it right have a chance as once again I don't see the relegated sides being that strong again, bar maybe WHU or Forest if they drop.
Considering how bad we have been I saw a West Brom side with their chins on the floor confidence wise and half a defence keep you at arms length for over an hour. Momentum flipped towards the end as is often expected.
I put Blues in that bracket of teams who, assuming you spent big should be lookin at next season with relish. Worth remembering where you were 18 months ago before getting too frustrated at not getting into the POs.

Not hard to take at all. We edged it, but didn’t do enough to win it as we didn’t score.
We’re better than we showed and Paik going off massively hampered us. We’ll keep improving though year on year. For me that’s a great comfort and not something I’ve been confident of for years.
I don’t blame any Albion fan celebrating an important clean sheet again, and not being a cunt, but it’s a sign of how far you’ve fallen isn’t it?

Ridiculous, isn't it? Guarantee had Phillips touched Beadle, ref would have given a free kick.
Delighted with a point but having complained about our bad luck this season, I think we've been repaid in full tonight. Some more positives but our lack of creativity is becoming an increasing concern.
Motm? Taylor for the goal line clearance and hauling down Gray at the end.
