Mark Robins: Stoke City are at the point of change – you can see it and it’s special

Stoke City manager Mark Robins believes the club is reaching a major turning point following a victory at Derby, their first win there since 2012. Robins praised the supporters and expressed optimism that players, staff, and fans are uniting in a positive movement reminiscent of past club revivals. Peter Smith reports that the atmosphere around Stoke has shifted significantly toward optimism.

The result marks Stoke's third consecutive away victory for the first time since late 2005, while the team has now scored in 13 consecutive games. Robins also commended defender Luke Graham, who became Stoke's 12th different goalscorer across eight matches, while noting that the squad still has room to improve defensively in possession.
