He managed us for seven years, but you lose respect for him based on one rather innocuous game managing our opponents?

Also I know people hate the term "limbs" but the celebration at the 2nd goal was mental, about 3 rows of people all on top of each other in my part of 15.

Limbs

Much better than them 1st half and should have been a couple up, shite corner goal and then we were wank 2nd half.

But like all good teams and dare I say it title winning teams we found a way at the end.

Hope their smirking time wasting keeper enjoyed watch us score from his fuck up in the time her had added on.

I thought their keeper looked good to be honest. Double save from Haji first half was class.
Maybe a back up to Rushworth in the Premier League next season

Huge win - first half brilliant (until the corner) and then second half was a slog but fully deserved the win. Think Stoke may have been the worst side I’ve seen us play this season and we beat QPR 7-1.

Looked like he tweaked his groin/thigh stretching for a loose pass from Esse. Seemed to be moving well after though, looked more like a protection thing as opposed to him needing to be taken off.

He signalled to the bench about 2-3 mins before going off (as soon as there was that loose pass you said about) holding his groin. Would probably be a good thing if we don’t have a game next Saturday, bit more time to rest and heal.

Could see the line of that ball missing the far post. Stokee deflects it for the winner. Scenes.

Just re watched the extended highlights, that’s the best 1st half performance since Southampton, We could have easily been 3-4 up. Yes they stemmed the flow in the 2nd half but we still dominated them & completely deserved the winner. Really surprised how toothless they looked.

Rudi looks back to his best, EMC looking dangerous & credit to Simms who put himself about when he came on. Special mention to their brain dead fans kicking off again at full time, we really have them rattled with these last minute winners.

Also think apart from the time wasting , Stoke were a typical Robins team in that they were too nice at times- not getting booked or any dirty fouls.

Torps a strange one. When he was starting games earlier in the season he seemed to build up a confidence and enjoyed being a regular player. Times have changed and he has to adapt to being a squad player now. Still rate the guy highly at this level but he's a better starter than a sub.

You can hear the yearning in his voice, when he’s talking about the noise of the crowd 🩵

I watched the Mark Robins interview after the game on Facebook, he's turning into a moaning Focker.

1. He says he couldn't get instructions to his players because of the noise in the stadium.

2. He says look at their bench and what they've got to bring on.

3. He says the Jack Rudoni shot would have gone wide if it hadn't hit the defenders leg

You can quite clearly see in the video that's been posted above, by a Stoke City fan, it was on target, yes it hit he's leg, well it didn't hit his leg enough because it just helped it on its way.

He Mark Robins is obviously hurting.

This isn't the moment he was flagged offside.
I've watched the same piece over about 4 times myself (Not a chance of knowing for sure from the South stand) And I'm pretty certain he comes back from an offside position to challenge the clearance/pass.

I thought he was very generous actually . Admitted they were second best and didn’t deserve to get anything out of the game. Very complimentary about our team .
It’s fair to mention they have an injury crisis and that is more directed internally I would imagine.

I agree and thought he was quite measured. Irrespective of how bad they were and deserved nothing, I know I'd be raging if we lost for the third time on the trot in the league to the same team with a late winner.

Whether the shot was going in or not, I have no idea and I care even less - that's football, don't score from your great play but get a bit of luck elsewhere.

Ps that loss at Stoke in the cup is looking better and better given it freed up the calendar and allowed us to get that massive win vs Middlesbrough instead of playing Fulham in the cup
