'Not our best performance but well-deserved'
Stoke City boss Mark Robins embraces with Sorba Thomas during the 3-0 win over CharltonStoke City boss Mark Robins says his side probably played better in the Championship defeats to Leicester and Coventry than they did in the 3-0 win over Charlton on Tuesday night.
But the 55-year-old believes the victory was "well-deserved" and is delighted the Potters have moved into the automatic promotion spots.
"It probably felt like we were comfortable," Robins told BBC Radio Stoke.
"We were in front early after two minutes, followed that up and then we were three-up in the first half.
"They had a real go at us. We kept things simple because that was what got us the goals.
