Double over Stoke this season?

[YGBjammy]

So does everyone like Pearson again now?

Unexpected win. Well done, lads!

I reckon one more win and we'll be safe..

I dunno. I`m still worried about Sheffield United...............................................................

Lovely 3 points. 

Even better with a clean sheet.

[Final 3 Star]

Yet another away win and clean sheet! 

[eardun]

That’s the kind of resilience Pearson is expecting on a consistent basis. Good three points. 

[Ivorguy]

We defended set pieces today - and a lot of them

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

[Waconda]

Really good second half there.

Looked organised and drilled.

The sort of performance we should be putting in regularly and goes to show these players are good enough.

Indeed 

[Dolman_Stand]

Absolutely livid with that performance, Stoke the only team not to score in my BTTS acca

Is that his first goal ?

Second, tap in at Huddersfield last season.

[Curr Avon]

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?

This has got smash and grab written all over it. 

Thanks everyone. And goodnight. 

[Herta]

Great result. 

Also so pleased for Jay getting a goal today. Who cares if he meant it! 

[BCFCGav]

Get in, win and clean sheet. And mathematical safety (never in doubt..). Happy days

[MelksRed]

Made my trip to Napoli even sweeter! Well done lads. COYRs!!!

[cityexile]

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.

Well done City. 

Never had any doubts we’d survive to strut our stuff in next Season’s Championship (at least after the 90+2 minute).

 

[redsince1994]

Refreshing to see us close out a game so comfortably! 

[Bazooka Joe]

Great result.

I'm well stoked !

[The Swan and Cemetery]

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. 

[Red_Alligator]

Well done lads!! That's it officially wrapped up then. Survival the objective. Objective achieved. 

Next.
