Stoke were unlucky to loose but they did and they return home with nothing. An unchanged side that beat reading 4 days previous - failed to take advantage of their chances and were happy to settle for a draw, then they conceded 10 seconds before the final whistle.
It was in fact a mistake by keeper Gavin Ward that cost the potters, a "powder puff punch" as quoted by Oatcake editor Martin Smith in his report, cost us the game.
Stoke were the better of the two sides but once again failed to take the points and promotion once again seems further away than before.
Gudjon Thordarson believes that its no time to panic and buy a new player, he believes that we were unlucky and do not need a change of personnel because we played so well.
Our wounds are indeed self inflicted, we need to stop shooting ourselves in the foot, or we shall never get promotion to where Stoke deserve to be.
