50-50, I thought.

We had periods when it was OK, but still, by and large, Stoke is a good challenge physically, and there are moments when I think they get the best of us.

We still make some critical mistakes, and really, at the end of it, when a team has gone through a tough stretch, fighting through it and regaining some confidence with results, there's no easy way.

Definitely.

Right now, there's not enough belief at halftime when it's 1-1 that the second half is all to play for.

So we still, I think, start the second half a little bit slow.

But again, I mentioned errors.

We have Leroy and Alfie going for the same header.

That leads to the starting point for the second goal.

So we're still at times...

making mistakes that are costing us, and so you look at all parts to see how we can get a little bit better.

It is.

We were very pleased with the clean sheet last game.

The chances off the post, some long balls where when the ball came loose outside the box, we were second best in terms of getting to it.

But we also start the game poorly with the game off of a set piece.

I mentioned the second goal, which ends up still as an own goal.

So mistakes, but mistakes that I think are an indication of not enough confidence.

I think it can be a penalty, because even if the initial tug is on the line, there's contact that goes into the box, so this is still up to the referee to see it through.

It's definitely concerning.

We understand that.
