Stoke seemed to have learned to pass the ball a bit more than I recall in recent years. They used to be unwatchable, but they were knocking it around and pressing well.

We did enough to flick them away like a nun's finger on her bean, but I shall refrain from letting my balls get hot and sweaty over what I thought should have been a narrow win. Given the Potters league position I thought that was a solid away point.

I'll gracefully accept it, and hovering over sixth we still have a punchers chance of hitting the playoffs, especially with new signings highly probable in January. Tally ho, onwards we go...
