Bad news;Stoke City edge QPR clash

However, there was nothing he could do just on the stroke of half time as Stoke took the lead with a goal that had been coming.

A Lewis Baker corner wreaked havoc with Luke McNally’s flick-on finding the onrushing Burger, who converted a simple tap-in.

Here is what Potters fans have been saying about the win on social media…

Greenhoff1972: Well done, Stoke! Say what you like about them – McNally and Rose 8 clean sheets in 15 starts as a pair

stokey aj: Steven Schumacher’s first win at home, Potters.

Tidders: Stoke might not thank me, but get the contract out, put it on the table, let him sign it, let him write whatever numbers he wants to put on there given what he’s done since he’s come in. Burger’s at the wheel man, he’s doing his thing. Stoke City are back.

James Naylor: It wasn’t pretty. But at the moment I don’t want pretty. I want 3 pts.

James David: Played how we had to. Defence first and just hope we have enough quality to score. Fortunately we did. Great result.

Paul Emanuelli: Phew!! More goals would have been good, but great to see defence working and players playing for each other! Great result. 3 points!

Paul Nixon: Keep scrapping like that and we’ll pick up enough points. Shame this another one of those seasons but, here we are. Come on Stoke!

Ollie Long: Literally couldn’t watch the last 8 mins .. a big 3 points. Well done.
