Absolutely loved Bursik’s shithousery celebration at the end. Overall I think we were pretty fortunate, but that’s the way it goes sometimes Shit game but how were we fortunate? They didn't have one shot on target in the whole match did they and we had 3 of 4. Whilst not hitting the target they created better chances IMO especially a couple of the offsides. No idea how tight they were but could have been very problematic.

I thought we were poor tbh against a very poor team. Created very little and badly need either Mario or Powell on the pitch.
Scrappy win though might just be the thing to get us back on track.

Just six points between QPR in 5th and Bristol City in 19th 30 games to play Absolutely wide open as usual Infuriating when you think of the points we’ve chucked away over the last few weeks ☹️ Of course however no doubt all the other clubs would say similar

Did my eyes deceive me or did Sawyers win a header towards the end 🤣

Ref left his cards in his office at half time and didn't want to look a bigger plumb than he already was

Like I said shit game but off side is off side and they were no better than us at all and we scored.

I am pleased to say that the only players that had a poor game were Tymon and Allen. The rest at least played ok. No stupid unforced errors either is very refreshing! I think you need to get in touch with Specsavers. There is no way Allen had a bad game tonight. He consistently tidied up in front of defence. Made some excellent passes and occasionally joined in up front.

Considering the fiasco of the last 4 league games I reckon we did great tonight. It may not have been pretty but it was a dogged performance that kept a clean sheet and gained us three valuable points. I'm a happy chappy and if we can keep a clean sheet on Saturday, that will do me. Another scruffy win will be better but as long as we don't lose then we can start to put a positive spin on things again. Well done the lads.
OS.

It's that type of league, absolutely wide open, there are going to be many more ups and downs to come..

They huffed and puffed in parts but don't think they ever believed they could win. Spoke to Charlie Adam pre match but glad I didn't take his prediction down the bookies: 2 - 2 my arris Charlie Albeit, I would have taken the draw before ko tbh.

As if Richard Keogh is still going. It seems like decades ago when he was a promising youngster, but he's only 35.

I like victories like that one - a real grind of a win.
We came through a test of character tonight.
On to Luton where we could do with getting something from the game.

And we drew with bloody Cardiff after blowing a three goal lead and lost to bloody Derby. This is Stoke 2021 not Stoke 2015. We are fishing in a very different pond.

We must surely be the most exciting team in the world to watch. Shithouse when we lose or draw, and still shithouse when we win. Now how could anybody not love Stoke? Can't kick, can't dribble, can't defend, can't score but somehow it seems to work. No wonder so many Stoke supporters are bald.

Good 3 points away against an on form team. Plenty to work on , but much needed points to keep us in touch.

Anyone calling Blackpool a poor team must think we are still Premier League quality. How they’d come to that conclusion I don’t understand.
They are a good, organised team with a decent manager and were in great form before this game - granted, we have a better squad on paper.
We managed the game well in most parts today, the ill discipline of the first half was not carried over to the second and we did deserve a win in the end. Batth must start games now, and probably Osti as well. Fletcher seems to be the man of the moment up top and will hopefully go on a run. Only downside is that Tye again looked slightly off the pace, but no doubt he will kick on soon.
