Ahemmmm! At 32 minutes on post number 26 I wrote this with the score at 0-0:
Take Zohore off NOW.
Put Dutch on. Shore up the midfield.
Ni balance ti thus side whatsoever.
So I'll take responsibility for this win, if you din't mind! Obviously the manager saw it at half time and acted upon it.
I was pretty amazed when I saw Zahore in the starting line up, to be honest as the Jed/Bennett partnership had been looking useful in recent weeks.
Thought that second half performance was our best if the season. Stoke didn't get a sniff. In the end we deserved the win.
Murray Man of the Match. Brilliant performance.
Mitchell second half was also excellent, obviously much mire confident in having Dutch beside him.
I thought our second half team looked an excellent unit. First time Evans and Dutch have played together and they controlled things.
Very satisfying.
I would rather see Evans moved to centre back in place of Pearce because he is a liability in defence. Kief, Woods and Billy in midfield and Jed and Bennett up front as they have for the last few games. Put Zohore on the bench.Kief, Billy and George to start in midfield v Swansea on Saturday
What about Jon Dadi Bradshaw?Jake Wallace and Jed Evens must be happy today.

Previous to today's game Stoke had kept 5 clean sheets out of 6.Stoke haven’t been in too bad a form recently - so I’d be happy with a 0 - 0 to keep the clean sheet and unbeaten run going!
