Stoke City away match day thread

The objective was to avoid relegation this season, like it or not, and it's been done with four games to spare (like it or not in a minority of cases who seem to be missing yet again when we win a game - it's embarrassing). Not pretty but job done. Let's see if the lads can play a bit of semi-decent football for a few games with the shackles off now............

Your friend Bill says we even lost to you, then later says we have the rare chance of a double over you after winning 1-0 in November, had me confused, apart from that great bit of research for an entertaining review of Stoke City and todays match.

pillred, I’m off to celebrate the rare double with a rare double ?

A game that for the most part resembled 22 players yearning for the sun-tan lotion and the delights of a Strawberry Mivvi ice lolly, won by a miss-hit cross. Smash and grab? Not really. Neither defence was tested and City found gallons of energy late on. A clean sheet too. Now, where's that rocking horse shit?

Stats show Stoke had more efforts, but other than one really good save from Bentley, actually thought we were in the main pretty comfortable. Main frustration was our poor decisions in some great positions, so delighted to see that one go in. Love me a 1-0 away win.

Lots still to work on, defence/midfield looked much better at defending. One small but important piece of progress this season is when winning, not to drop back to our own 6 yard box. Hasn’t always worked, but at least playing further up the pitch gives us a chance. Fair play to the supporters, noisy throughout.
