Just looking at the stats on fotmob as xG isn't necessarily a reliable measure of territorial dominance. We touched the ball in Stoke's box 31 times, whereas they touched the ball in our box just 16 times.

For reference, even Southampton who beat Sheffield Wednesday 3-1 at home only touched the ball in the opposition box 25 times. Ipswich (4-1 winners) touched it 28 times in Swansea's box.

We play quite a high line, you'd expect us to give up less chances but when they do get in they're likely to be better chances.

Great result and great 90 mins but by far and away the worst 'away day' of the season

Mentioned it in the immediate aftermath of the game but some of their fans were a disgrace afterwards picking off and being confrontational towards people in replica shirts who were obviously after no trouble and an hour after the final whistle was still in traffic next to the ground

Whatever division we find ourselves in next season I beg we don’t have to play them

Am I the only one who can never watch videos posted here? Can’t see anything that’s not on x in this thread.

I’m sorry but trying to make out were some long ball specialists with only the long throw up our sleeve is pretty sour from MR.

They barely lay a finger on us and we were solid and had some decent chances.

Today was classic Robins, slow to react and too
Passive from them.

We are mid table for long balls.

I may be wrong but I don't think Mark Robins shook Frank's hand at the end of the game....also saw Frank tell someone to fuck off as has he walked off the pitch (after clapping our fans).
Mark Robins was great for us but I never lose sight of the fact he applied for the Stoke City job while still our manager.

They did shake hands as most of the support staff did. Frank did mouth something to the Stoke fans. Probably was fuck off. Next up the Cantona response.

Stoke fans really have an issue with BTA. They have a 27 page thread on their forum about him being a proper nasty shithouse! :ROFLMAO:

It must be a personal thing, as all I can see is a geniune hard working bloke.

I'm trying to remove my sky blue tinted glasses and i still can't see how BTA is a shithouse. Sounds like a funny read though, might have a look.

Edit: It's not all about him being a shit house, its a continuation of an old thread where they were linked with him. They should look closer to home though, a couple of the challenges their players put in were nasty.

I only read the last 3 pages...

But still, he isn't that player at all.

Was it BTA chasing a rebound that caused their GK to split their chin open? It looked to me like BTA was fairly chasing the ball and made every effort to avoid a collision
