You couldn’t make some of this shit up.
Injury riddled. Facing a horrendous run of fixtures. Up against a very decent side.
We battle our bollcks off. We scrap for every ball. We win 1-0.
Three great points and another outstanding defensive performance.
What the fuck do some people want? Seriously. The mind boggles.

That really was one of the most depressing, dire games of football we'll ever see in our lives, topped off by having zero fans. It was horrifying.
That said, I'll take the 1-0...reluctantly 😂

It was devoid of any entertainment from a Stoke supporters point of view. Dreadful ant-football. Gouranga. Some people will lap up any old shite. No ambition. The city of Stoke in a microcosm really. Jeez, life's too short to wallow in this sort of opinion. I think I've had enough Oatcake for one day, as if there weren't enough things queuing up to bring you down in this world. We won, that's all I want to take away from today. Well, that and the fact that Vale threw away a two goal lead to lose, Birmingham City lost and Cov lost, which is pretty much a perfect football day in my book.

You really do talk utter bollocks. Try looking at the big picture. How can anyone not be happy no matter how your team performs and win !

A shite game to watch on tele, but I can guarantee you, if we were at the stadium, we’d all be walking to our cars piss wet through grinning like Cheshire cats.
I’m not crying, you’re crying!

I prefer to watch a Stoke side trying to attack and put a couple of passes together especially at home. It was dreadful to watch. The Blackburn keeper spent most of the 2nd half on the half way line that's how threatening we were. Gouranga.

Utter rubbish,it was the way to beat a free scoring Blackburn end of and considering the amount of injuries it’s incredible in my opinion I take it you didn't watch the game. Gouranga. I did. It was great. We had no right with current problems to expect a win today. But with a dogs of war performance, we did win. Loved it.

Campbell, Clucas, Mikel, Allen all out No senior keeper + Others out Insane fixture schedule
And yet we keep churning out clean sheets
Of course we need more in the last third Other than Verlinden we are have run out of options.
Carry on Michael

We are not shit. Were've been shit for three years before today. We've made a habit of losing 4-0 and going 3 down to Championship non-entities. Today, a Stoke team missing half of its first XI got a third consecutive clean sheet, against the league's highest scorers, to move into 7th place, in the midst of a horrendous fixture logjam. We're horrible, we're nasty and we're back. I absolutely love it. Fantastic entertainment. It was devoid of any entertainment from a Stoke supporters point of view. Dreadful ant-football. Gouranga. What do you want from Stoke? 6 games where Bojan played ok and that was it, we are Stoke. We are resolute We are the underdogs This is what we are Everyone hates us and that’s what we love Or we could be nice old Arsenal who everyone knows with a bit of passion you can beat? Come on you rip roaring potters and when we are back in the ground that will be the 12 man again

I’m not sure how we won that game but we will take it as we should have beat Cardiff but didn’t. Sometimes you get something you don’t deserve and vide versa. It wasn’t pretty but great defensive display and considering injuries 👍

Going 3 down against Blackburn under Rowett was devoid of entertainment. Regularly losing 4-0 against every other team was devoid of entertainment. Getting humiliated by Arnie was devoid of entertainment. In the context, today is in the top twenty of the best, most entertaining games we've played since 2016.

A win’s a win and you have to laud the defensive effort today, even if Blackburn weren’t exactly razor sharp. We’re coming out of a 4-5 year spell of being mentally weak, gnat-hearted cowards, so the kind of fight and bottle and arsehole this patched-up side is showing shouldn’t be dismissed so easily.
That said, we can’t keep relying on scoring with our one shot on target and then manning the barricades every week. We need to offer more going forward, either in midfield, out wide or both.

Nananaanananana The purists such as Bayern will hate it. I really dont care if we have to win ugly, its way better than supporting a Mowbray team - play nice and lose. Great defence performance after nicking the early goal. Take a bow lads Will happily take that Wednesday night - anyone else?

Yes However I'll take anything under 0.4 with no injuries and no red cards. Would be the biggest cup shock in the clubs history if we win that

Fucking awful anti football as bad as anything we were subject to under TP the only plus point is we scraped a win. Gouranga. I think the style of football has been thrust upon us due to the injuries. We go toe to toe with our current lineup then the chances are we’d lose.

we werent playing this way before the injuries, which shows we are able to play different ways effectively I had the official stream..including boris! My issue is we cant keep the ball for moe than three passes. Then add on all our injuries and abscent players...was that a good result?? You fuckin bet your life on it!! My house erupted at full time( both of us!!)

I really think some of our fans need to change their mindset. I'm pretty sure when the top clubs nick a very scrappy 1 nil game, they see it as 3pts to where they want to be. Do you really think if Liverpool won the League playing like that, that the fans would care? All that matters is 3 pts and success.
