Robins left fuming by Stoke's last-gasp loss at home to Hull

Mark Robins was left fuming by Stoke's loss to Hull

Stoke boss Mark Robins felt his side contributed to their own downfall in their last-minute defeat to Hull at the bet365 Stadium.

Sorba Thomas volleyed Stoke ahead before they capitulated in the second half and Robins was not happy with Hull for sparking a player melee after the final whistle, which could result in an FA charge for the Potters.

Robins told BBC Radio Stoke: "It was a game of two halves. We gave them the impetus, we gave them their goal, although it was offside. I've got to say it's offside and you can't miss that.

"But they've missed that and it's ended up in the back of our net. And then time after time, we were getting in really good areas and not completing the pass, not finding the man coming onto it, not finding the final pass.

"Then for the final goal, we've inexplicably given the ball away in the middle of the pitch and they've broken against us. They were better in the second half, but we allowed that to happen and that's a real frustration.

"At the end, I've spoken to the referee, and one of their players has incited the crowd and we've ended up in a situation where there are players confronting each other. We'll get charged with failing to control our players or whatever it is and it's an absolute joke.

"I'm fuming at what we did in the second half and I'm fuming at what happened at the end."
