I hope there's a few Stoke fans hanging their heads in shame this evening.
Skipper's back!

He needed a wake-up call.
He looks like his old-self now, hopefully he can keep the good work up

Stoke are back, on that showing, a real collective desire, even Ince put his body on the line. 80 minutes, down to ten men, that, for me, was our old Stoke.

Proper man management of him. Dropping him when it was needed, took him out of the limelight, praised him for his attitude whilst out of the side and brought him back when needed.
1000%

I think due to his injuries he is unable to keep up with the sat-wed-sat style of the championship. Defo an absolutely class defender, needs to be used like Kompany at Man City to get the best out of him.

I hope there's a few Stoke fans hanging their heads in shame this evening. Skipper's back! Wasn’t just the fans who didn’t think he was at his best though hence him being dropped. I don’t think anyone’s disputing what a great servant Ryan’s been but he was playing poorly. Batth deserves huge credit for the impact he’s made. Ryan for not sulking like others and proving he can still play well.

Few fans should also hang their heads about some of the Jones threads they started.

Him and Batth need to have a word as to who is going up for headers. On a few occasions they both went for the same ball so either they haven’t quite got their communication right yet, or they are both nasty bastards who want to destroy forwards. I prefer the latter personally.😀😀

Ryan looked more like himself today but Batth 'captained' that defence for me...

Hopefully soon we can experiment things like winning two games back to back.
Baby steps hey.

Class never fades the blokes a top player he’d walk into most premier league teams and Nathan has realised him and Charlie can be part of next seasons spine

Ryan’s always been better with a more organised and aggressive / nasty bastard next to him.
Great to see him back, hopefully Batth will help to eek another season or two out of Ryan - I’d love him to finish his career here.

Ever since he's had to worry about defenders not doing their jobs around him his own form has dipped, it's no coincidence.

Another good center half making him look good. Get a grip Obviously. You could see Batth giving him a boost to get up to all those headers he won. Don’t know how Shawcross would have managed without a leg up 🙄🤣
