The ref has been incredibly generous to them.

Kaminsky was down for a little bit. Rothwell was down for a minute. 7 minutes injury time is scandalous.

Booked 3 of our players for time wasting too. Think he had us on the pools.

[yankfan]

Fantastic result that!  

[Gone to seed]

Oh MY WORD! 

[Tugay-is-God]

Get in!!!!

[Exiled_Rover]

Comfortable win that - handled everything Stoke had to offer with ease. 

[simongarnerisgod]

great result.always a good sign when you don`t play well but end up winning,bring on the nobend😁

[Aqualung]

Brilliant hard fought win. Well done lads. Must be the hardest working team in the league. 

[danger19_80]

Reckon Mowbrays gonna have a peek at the table tonight!

[TonyM]

Good result - stupid time wasting cost us yellow cards and 7mins to hold on for, but overall happy.

BBD looked tired ...

[roverstdt]

Will Mowbray start getting a bit of credit?

[Exiled in Toronto]

Fan bloody tastic! What a team spirit! I’m really liking this young team 

[moerpho]

Awesome!!! So so happy and despite the ongoings at the club I’m so happy. Well deserved and if we keep this up and avoid injuries/cards we might be a playoff contender. Onwards and upwards! COYB!

[duckson]

Get in, stick that up your back passage Stoke commentators! 😘

[JacknOry]

Well fck me sideways - we finally did it!

 

[jim mk2]

Statement win that... didn't expect it.

Hopefully boost the crowd numbers and expectations for the PNE game

Old 'uns will know what happens next.......

[SIMON GARNERS 194]

Up to fourth....pass us the Oxygen!!

[SuperBrfc]

Yes!! That is a fantastic three points. Teams below us drop points too. We're on the march 😁.

Even I'm not gonna knock him for getting up to 4th 🙂

[CambridgeRover]

COME ON!!!!!

REAL STATEMENT OF INTENT

[Angry_Pirate]

The entire back 5 defended fantastic and we're the cause of those 3 points. 

Excellent win. Comfortable from one perspective, however we really could and should have scored two or three and avoid the potential of a suckerpunch ending. So sloppy on the counter.

[JacknOry]

Rothwell great before he went off (though if he could finish, he'd be the next Steven Gerard). Buckley brilliant throughout too. And, have to say fair play to Pears for that save.

[magicalmortensleftpeg]

Brilliant result. We never win these tight games against top 6 teams. Fourth. Outrageous. For all that went badly last year, this has been a remarkable season so far. Didn’t think Mowbray could turn public opinion around but you can’t fault results so far. Surpassing expectations massively.

[OldEwoodBlue]

Buckley best I have seen him play today.

Wow. We are a good side when we want to be.

[WacoRover]

I love a clean sheet! I love a clean sheet! 

[bluebruce]

Well, I think it's fair to say Tony gets a stay of execution for now. Do I think his flaws will get us unstuck again at some point? Yes. But whilst we are in this kind of form it would be churlish to ask for his head. Despite his baffling decisions and absolute refusal to take accountability when things go wrong. Whether it's down to him or the players we have happen to be hitting form regardless is academic if he can deliver a shot at the promised land.

I think it will go tits up again, especially if Kaminski is out for a stretch, but for now all we can do is enjoy this great win, great form and great position in the table!
