Charlie Adam's first-half strike proved decisive at the Britannia Stadium, although the Cottagers had seen a late would-be equaliser questionably ruled out for offside.
Speaking after the game, Jol said: "In the first half, they bully teams and we couldn't get the ball out of our half.
"It is their style and I admire their style. It's almost a rugby team. I don't want to talk about the referee, I don't want to look for excuses.
"The second half was better and I think that we deserved a point. Stoke is always difficult for us. They have a lot of size and [our centre-back] Brede Hangeland was not there for us."
