Ryan Shawcross blasts Stoke City display despite League Cup progression

Stoke City defender Ryan Shawcross has described his side's performance last night as "very disappointing".

The Potters conceded a pair of late goals to Birmingham City that forced extra time before coming past the Championship outfit on penalties.

"It was a very disappointing performance from everyone and we need to have a good look at ourselves before Saturday to make sure we're better because that's not good enough," Shawcross told the club website.

Stoke host in-form Southampton, who are fifth in the table, in the league on Saturday.
