Pears matchwinner imo

McFadz exactly what we have lacked

Didn’t feature for the 21s yesterday either 

He was listed as ill last week, so I assume that's still the case. 

[matt83]

Burger having a right ding dong with the Stoke fans.

[Rover8T4]

Better game management 

[Paul Mellelieu]

Biggest win for the club since our promotion.  Delighted.

[Tugayisgod]

Get in !

Brilliant 3 points, onwards and upwards!

Big shout out to Pears, had so much stick, but that penalty save could be huge. Who knows how the game would have panned out if that had gone in 

[jim mk2]

A very welcome win....... half a sigh of relief. If we can follow it up beating or taking a point at Birmingham we can breathe a bit more easily.

More Championship quality players to actually bring off the bench.

[sverrehh]

Trondstad is PL-level.

McFadz a shrewd signing. Played really well. Hoping he stays fit! Wonder when Fleck is ready.

[JBiz]

All hail the new Faz

[CD_93]

36% possession. Big shift.

[booth]

3 points, just what we needed.

Some players raised their game today. Sadly Telalovic showed he's not got the quality for this league.

Need to do Birmingham now, but nice to have a few days without a dark cloud.

Huge win after a week of absolute turmoil. Probably the best opponent we could have had in the circumstances, but you still have to beat what's put in front of you and we hadn't done that in 11 games previous. Breathing space between us and the relegation places now.

Good win but under the cosh all 2nd half.  JDT still here I think we lose about 6-3.  Wins a win, a very much needed win.

Was good to see JE move down to the touchline recognizing we needed something.

Good win.McFadzean excellent.

Jeez Stoke are awful 

[RoversClitheroe]

Hedges at wing back was great, not his biggest fan, but defensively good and helped on the counter.

Mcfadztastick

O'Riordan looked good.

Lacking confidence and ability? 

He only needed to kick it. He seemed to be waiting for the perfect moment but there are no perfect moments in football.

Tells me he doesn't have a strikers instinct.

[B16Rover]

Football maths suggests the new new manager bounce and the 'used to play/manage the opposition' will net off to a 2-1 Vs Birmingham 

 

Couldn't watch today as abroad, can a kind soul give me a brief summary 

[RevidgeBlue]

As I said earlier, don't think we get those 3 points today without the managerial change.

Vital win. Now let's shove Mowbray closer to the drop on Tuesday(?) then we can breathe a bit easier.

I think he's massively lacking confidence - it's one thing banging them in against the U21s, another at this level. 

[miqaayil]

Good win...kinda funny like some players played like they just got their iron balls tied to their legs taken off

Needs to forget about the crowd - can do it for U21 team and has the instinct to be in the right place. Hope he can find a way

[NeilInBristol]

Can someone post the link to BBC lancs X interview of whichever coach does the post match presser 

[miqaayil]

mathematically can we still make playoffs.... just dreaming
