Stoke City away match thread

[BanburyRed]

The doom and gloomers saying we were going to get tanked today.....

.....great result!! Well done boys!

[bexhill reds]

Good performance that overall, probably the better team throughout the match. JD my MoM, Andy King excellent as well. Lovely.

[Banjo Red]

Well played boys 

[Spudgun]

Quite sweet to beat an Alex Neil team as well, always seem to get beat by teams he's managed.

[HOZDA]

Excellent win! We do love playing at Stoke in fairness! Deserved for Mehmeti. Coyr

[Northern Red]

Deserved that.

[RUSSEL85]

Textbook away performance.

Wasn’t a smash and grab either 

No, it was a grab and smash!

Take that Ben Pearson. Weimann took you to the cleaners with that turn and pass.

Haha!

That's real character. What a result- dug deep.

We could have gone under, season petering out and all the injuries including one more in 1st half! Vs an in form wide playing well and at home too.

Watched on an admittedly up.and down stream! Delighted for Mehmeti- Stoke stepped off 2nd half, they were possibly a bit comfortable a bit soon but we still had to battle and we did.

Great win and you wouldn't have seen that coming with 15 minutes gone.
Worked our way onto the game , and had better chances up until they scored. Different team in the 2nd half.
Jay was brilliant, Zak good, Bell did well . Everyone worked hard and I'd say deserved over the whole game.

[Red Exile]

Came back into that very well. Highly professional performance. Encouraging.

[Bris Red]

We back in with a shout of the play-offs then….?!

[Banjo Island]

Terrific win fantastic performance and lets hope anis kicks on after a confiedence boosting super cool finish well done lads

[Jerseybean]

Delighted by that scoreline and our second half performance, a game of two halves for me and won our half much better than they won theirs! 

Really great vocal support throughout, well played the traveling fans. Our record away at Stoke is actually very impressive.

52 points, jumping above Stoke. Deserved win, solid/really good for 60-70 minutes. Could have had more, only limiting them to one clear cut chance for the goal, they weren't too threatening otherwise.

Pats on backs to the staff, players and fans today. Get behind them and look what can happen. Is that five wins away at Stoke in a row?

No it wasn’t. If the game was 25 mins long yes 

[Lew-T]

I thought we looked much better when King came on, he certainly made a difference. We just seemed to tick in the second half!

Brilliant performance and result.

[petehinton]

To dig deep and come back from behind in a meaningless game away from home shows tremendous character. Huge boost for Mehmeti too - the mid table league one player on here last week. Brilliant 

[mozo]

Well that was an enjoyable second half! 

[miketh2nd]

get in ! great win against a in form Stoke, really impressed how we played 2nd half we really took the game to them.

Incredible considering that Stoke had won 4 and drawn 2 of the last 6, and City lost Conway and OTC to injury.

 

[westonred]

Wow what a turnaround in the 2nd half i really thought we would lose heavily after that awful 1st half. COYR

[David Brent]

Lovely quiet evening on OTIB. Splendid.

Even better when the quoted poster takes it in the spirit it was intended and doesn't act all snowflakey cos they were quoted. Celebratory ciders all round

Absolutely, will also be raising a glass or two tonight!

Brilliant win that and one that I obviously didn't see coming.

It's not the first time i've made myself look silly either.

Sorry, it was my poor attempt at humour. Again.

[BigTone]

Good win and just what we needed. Good to see Mehmeti on the scoresheet and sticking a finger up against his doubters (me included).

I'd have Pearson in our side to be fair CA, fine player. The bald fella on loan from Southampton looks decent too.

Me too, but delighted by the result and second half performance.

Last season we beat ‘em at their place with an 84 minute goal, this season it was with an 85 minute goal…….
