Under-fire Stoke boss Nathan Jones is desperate to repay the patience shown in him following their 2-1 defeat to Bristol City, but admits time is running out.
The Potters remain bottom of the Sky Bet Championship and without a league win all season after they chucked the points away.
Sam Clucas slotted home from a fourth-minute corner after the home side came out of the blocks fast.
But their hopes suffered a major blow when Joe Allen was red-carded for a late lunging tackle on Josh Brownhill after only 12 minutes.
The visitors levelled when Famara Diedhiou headed home from the goal-line after a brilliant cross by Jack Hunt on 55 minutes.

The comeback was complete when Tom Edwards turned into his own net on 62 minutes after another superb cross from Hunt.
"The board sees the work I do every day, they are good football people but I don't know how long they can be patient," Jones said.
"I want to change things but nothing is going for us, There are teams with far more points than us, but are playing worse than us.
"We cant keep saying that because eventually people's patience runs out. The fans and the club have been brilliant with the patience they have given me and I have to repay that.
"We came out of the blocks really well, we wanted to attack, to take the shackles off and play without fear.
"I'm really proud of the work-rate of the players. If we just defended better, it has cost us, we do not defend well.
