Theres clearly a lot of resentment from Mark after a really disappointing end to his fantastic time here.

Because he's seeing someone do the job he should have done with a £40m+ squad to be honest.

If he gets Stoke into the Play Offs, it would be as good of an achievement as when he got us there. They've been outside the PL for 8 years and haven't come close once.

More that he'll feel that after all the success he gave us, he should have been given leeway and the time to turn it round last season. That will rankle, and I'm sympathetic to that. It wouldn't be human not to be pissed off in his position.

It appears to have been absolutely the right decision from our point of view, but that won't give him any comfort.

I do like Mark but he must've been watching a different match. We were the better side and deserved a draw at least! Thought their threats were mostly dealt with by us all game.

It was a stalemate. If I was a stoke fan then I would be annoyed at losing. I think a draw was probably the right result but delighted we won.
They had a great chance first half and a decent half chance when Kitching got a good block in. Then we had the potential half chance Wright could have played into EMC but blasted over, EMCs shot that the keeper spilled and BTA couldn't get to.

Then obvs the goal

We're a bunch of fannys getting upset over his interview. They did have the best chance, we did cancel each other out. It was heading for a draw until a moment of magic which what teams looking for promotion do.

He is the manager of a different club, what did you expect him to say?

Well Mark , our overall play was also far superior than your negative play & as the home team , you bottled it !

Tbf what I saw was fair. He said stoke had arguably best chance of game but wouldn't agree with journalist that stoke deserved to win the game

The guys a fucking legend and that will never change. Stop being so precious

We were great for each other.

He was the author of his own exit.

Show class. Be pleased for your old club and all those associated with it and don try and belittle what they are doing without you.

To be honest if we were Stoke fans playing the top of the table would we be that annoyed at his comments?
Stoke are punching way above where they should be in a very skewed league , they will fall away and finish 10-14th but that will be successful season for them
Crikey I remember many a game that we set up like Stoke today before the King days and managed to get a result

Don't know what I saw from who but it wasn't as described on here,so either truncated or a different channel but he was fairly complimentary, something like when you consider where we are sort of thing.

How about “ Coventry are top for a reason. They are a very good side with some very good players. For long periods I thought we matched them and if anything had the best chance of the match but that’s football and we will recharge over the international break and look to kick on again.”

You don’t have to criticise your own team to give credit to the opposition.

We have never had so much praise as we are having at the moment from the football community. It would not have looked at all odd if Mark had been another of those voices.

For those of you that can’t bare the idea that Mark might be a little bit in the wrong can I suggest you remind yourself of his usual post match comments when he was our manager …

We would hear most matches “ these are a top top side by the way “ “ xxx had done a fabulous job at this club” “ they have a team full of power that can really hurt you “

We would hear comments like this week in week out for years. Yet yesterday and he couldn’t find it in him to do it …..

It's a very Wilder style interview, that's probably the best way of describing it.

He’s lost a tight game late on that he had some extra personal incentive to win and he was asked for his thoughts almost straight after…do I agree with what he’s said on us trying to hurt their keeper no, but he’s just hurting right after a match.

There’s nothing to see here. FL speaks about him respectfully and knows what he did for the club, sure they’ll have privately cleared things up, shaken hands and moved on. MR has made them very tough to beat and it’s taken a brilliant goal to take the points.

We all love the man

But there is no doubt that he has shown a touch of saltiness there because hes been shown up twice in the year since he left. The bulk of this side were his players and he had them playing like a L1 side at times. Bereft of ideas and confidence

To then be turned over by us twice in the last 8 months, that clearly rankles him

Ask a manger immediately after defeat how he feels, what do people expect his outlook to be....

I expect him to treat us a bit differently from other teams. Like we treat him differently from other managers.
I guess he did treat us differently ie. even more salty. It lacked some class tbh

He’s Stokes Manager and will just reflect on Stokes position.

Do I think he’s right on how we play? No but there were times I didn’t think he was right when he was here.

Hes a club legend but you can’t expect anything different imo. Thought his piece in Stokes program was a nice touch mind

I think you can expect that he shows at least the same respect that every other manager has. He didn’t even achieve that with his comments.

I watched his pre match interview, and I thought he came across as very respectful and almost a tinge of regret the way it ended and that he never got to finish the job.

Robins is limited as a manager and it was the correct decision for him to leave, but I have nothing but respect for him and what he achieved and a few comments in a post match interview won't change that.

The reference about their keeper, I assume he means when he spilled the ball and BTA went for it quite legitimately, that was a very poor comment and I expected better from MR. Hurting or not he shouldn't have said that.

He surely knows our players aren’t like that, BTA especially.

I feel like I missed part of his interview. Only seen him going on about long balls and playing for set pieces
