Stoke's success no surprise to Boro boss Edwards
Stoke City's impressive early season form is no surprise to Middlesbrough boss Rob Edwards.
Championship leaders Boro host the third-placed Potters on Tuesday with four points separating the sides.
"They've got quite an interesting blend, real pace and power on the last line and a real crossing team, especially on the left with (Sorba) Thomas and (Aaron) Cresswell," Edwards told BBC Radio Tees.
"It's no surprise at all (to see them doing well), they look really solid and have a real attacking threat as well."
Middlesbrough maintained their unbeaten start to the season on Saturday with a late equaliser from Kaly Sene in their 1-1 draw with Southampton.
