Potters boss Michael O'Neill told BBC Radio Stoke:
"We're disappointed with the result. We're disappointed with a lot of things on the night. It was a game where we had a lot of possession, close to nearly 70% of possession, but we had possession with no purpose.
"Again we put ourselves in a difficult position because we lose a poor goal. And that's ultimately what decides the game.
"Too often tonight we made the wrong decision in the final third or lacked quality in terms of the final ball. The concerning thing was that we didn't work the goalkeeper very much, we didn't create enough clear-cut opportunities.
"We lost momentum and we didn't play with enough belief which was disappointing given we've won back-to-back games."

Nice to hear a manager not try to delude everyone with comments making out they were hard done by. An honest assessment from O’Neill.

Can't argue with much of it but I wouldn't say it was a poor goal. Great skill by Madine and an unstoppable finish.

Yes I thought that.
