Mick McCarthy hailed the performance of veteran defender Jody Craddock who celebrated his 500th league appearance by helping Wolves take another step towards Barclays Premier League survival.
The 34-year-old Craddock and fellow centre-back Christophe Berra had to deal with a long throw bombardment – 24 in total – from Stoke midfielder Rory Delap.
But the clean sheet and home goalless draw moved Wolves six points clear of the bottom three with four games remaining.
Craddock played for three quarters of the game with his head bandaged up after an aerial clash with Abdoulaye Faye, but demonstrated why he has been offered a new contract by McCarthy.
The Wolves boss said: “Jody is great. He has been terrific. That is why I want him to stay. But I bet he hasn’t played as well as that for 500 games.
“If he had played like that for 500 games he would have been at Manchester United or somewhere else.
“But Jody and Christophe were superb. We had to defend. Stoke make you defend.”
