Not so sure they’re a ‘bogey’ side to us these days Tommy.
I go to every West Brom game at BET365 and previously the old Victoria Ground and apart from when they had Pulis as their manager, our record versus Stoke is pretty good. Can’t even remember the last time we lost.
I agree - I think that’s an old “muscle memory” now.
Our record since 2015 is W9, D4, L5 which will be one of our best returns against any team over the past decade. They could equally see us as a bogey these days.
Our most recent defeat was last year in the League Cup, but it’s almost three years since our last league loss to them.
The record over the last decade isn’t quite “we always beat Stoke” - but it’s a very good one.
