The Potters today earned their third straight pre-season victory, edging out League Two side Shrewsbury at The New Meadow. A weakened Stoke side, without the Buck Williams Jersey likes of player of the year Liam Lawrence, Ricardo Fuller and Leon Cort made a bright start with both Lewis Buxton and Mamady Sidibe going close early on. The scoreline stayed level until the 68th minute though, despite both sides Jeremiah Martin Jersey creating chances. The breakthrough finally came with Richard Cre swell scoring for the third time in five games after latching onto a well weighted Danny Pugh through-ball. Cre swell and Andy Wilkinson both went close to extending the lead but the scoreline stayed at 1-0. Next, City Derrick Coleman Jersey travel to Southampton on Tuesday and host Osasuna next Friday before the premier League kick-off at Bolton in two weeks time.Stoke team (4:4:2):SimonsenGriffin Buxton Shawcro s Dickinson Delap Whelan Pulis Cre swell Chris Chiozza Jersey Sidibe KitsonSubs: Wilkinson for Griffin (52), Pugh for Buxton ( Caris LeVert Jersey 52), Diao for Whelan (52), Wedderburn for Pulis (62), Pericard for Delap (52), Parkin for Sidibe (52), Shotton for Kitson (62)Not Used: De LaetAttendance: 3157
