Stoke boss Mark Robins told BBC Radio Stoke:
“You can make changes, and by the way, the changes that I made, I don’t like the booing because we’ve got a limited squad and those players need the support as well as anybody else.
“I don’t like that. They’re all trying, regardless of what people think. For whatever reason, I’ll make those changes. When that happens, I don’t expect my substitutions to be booed. You know, you don’t expect that because it’s done at the right time for the right reasons.
“We’re all on the same page and we’re all supportive and we hate losing games of football, all of us, collectively, all of us.
“You win them together, and you lose them together, and you draw them together, and in the second half, I know that performance was much, much better and what the supporters expect.”
