DAVIES: Not actually all that much to do but he was always sharp and back pedalling to claw out late cross was superb .................................. 7 SMITH: His crosses were Stoke’s best chance of a breakthrough in open play... 8 COLLINS: Tasked with marking £35m debutant Fabio Silva and didn’t shy from it ......... 8 SOUTTAR: Cracking block on Traore at end of first half. Stood tall and kept Wolves at arm’s length for 90 minutes. 8 MARTINS INDI: Captain for the night and looked well up for the occasion. His best performance for ages .............. 8 MCCLEAN: Back in as defensive wing-back and stuck to his task ............................. 7 THOMPSON: Set pieces were a threat as he sat in the centre of the midfield three ....... 7 TYMON: Left of a central midfield three but had licence to attack and sunk in a couple of dangerous crosses ............ 8 OAKLEY-BOOTHE: Some neat touches in a midfield three and kept discipline for team shape ................................ 7 GREGORY: Kept running to make sure that Stoke kept Wolves defenders thinking, even when the team hardly had the ball ....................... 7 VOKES: Worked hard putting himself about to make sure Stoke had an outlet, particularly on the counter. Might have done better with headers ................................... 7 Subs: FLETCHER (for Vokes, 66): A bulldozer from the bench making a right royal nuisance of himself .................................. 8 BROWN (for Gregory, 70): What an entrance! No surprise he was in that position, waiting for a chance to get behind Wolves defence and took it.. 8

COUSINS (for Mcclean, 90): Nice chance to waste a bit of time in injury time .............. 6 Not used: Noukeu, Fox, Batth, Campbell.
