Match Report

After the game Stoke manager Johan Boskamp said: "It was very disappointing what my team did today. When you start a game like we did, you don't deserve to go through to the next round.

"People are thinking that we are so good but obviously now they can see that we aren't.

"I think it is very good what Tamworth did, I give my compliments to them.

"The best thing that has happened today is that we have managed to keep our first clean sheet for a while."

Tamworth manager Mark Cooper said: "We had a game plan which we stuck to. We frustrated Stoke and at the end we almost nicked it. We knew that everyone would have to play well to get the result and everyone was fantastic.

"Our main bread and butter is the Conference, this cup run will now enable us to bring in that little bit of quality that will enable us to stay in the Conference.

"I think if there is anyone who deserves a television game now, it is Tamworth. An old fashioned non league club against a higher league club, it's the ultimate romantic story.

"I would think it's the biggest result in the club's history. To get a result at a Championship side that's about five or six points off the Premiership is amazing."
