Is it a tribute to how far we have come when a 1-0 loss away at Stoke City feels like a missed opportunity or just like last time around are we doomed to a lot of huffing and puffing but lacking the quality and killer instinct to survive at this level? Wins and draws from many around us this weekend and all of a sudden that relegation line is looming large. Strong starting line up today and the substitutions that were being called for were all made in a timely manner to no avail.

Thoughts?
