Pulis calls for Stoke promotion push

March 12, 2008

Stoke City manager Tony Pulis has challenged his side to recreate the form which took them to the top of the Championship as the season enters the final third.

The Potters have struggled slightly since claiming top spot and last nights one nil win at Norwich City helped to settle everyone’s nerves at the Britannia Stadium. This represented their first win in four games since climbing to the Championship summit and has seen them slip to second place although Watford, currently in third do have a game in hand.

Giant forward Mamady Sidibe emerged from Carrow Road as the hero last night as it was his strike from Rory Delap’s long throw in which gave Stoke maximum points.

City certainly rode their luck at times during the second have with Jamie Cureton in particular missed some glorious chances for the home side. But it is one of the traits of champions that you win the matches which you don’t perform in and Stoke certainly look destined for the Premier League.

Speaking to ITV Sport, Pullis reflected –

“We’ve got eight games left and if we can do what we did a little earlier in the season we’ll be right up there. We know it won’t be easy but that’s what we’ve got to do.”

Wise words Mr Pulis – I am pretty sure you will be celebrating come May!

If you a Stoke fan who has an opinion on this season’s promotion push – let us know by adding your comments!

    I don’t believe they have any chances to be honest.
