We simply HAVE to win now on Monday but for slightly different reasons than before tonights Brazil game. If we can get a win against Colin's charges on Monday we will be putting some distance between us Hull and Brazil and some serious pressure on them. Looking at what the Boggies have coming up in the next 17 days, they have: A cup semi on Saturday, then Away at Blackpool next Tuesday, then Watford at home on the Saturday, Then Wolves away the following Tuesday Then Norwich away on the Saturday!!!! If they end up above us after that run of fixtures then they bloody deserve it.  Come on Stoke we can do it!! |

OK then, let's! ;D
I've been feeling like this for weeks. If we had won just ONE of the recent draws we'd be sitting pretty. Let's hope the go karting has worked and the team is bonded and ready to go.

Tis true that of they win all of those games, they bloody deserve to go up. However, I wouldnt be too concerned about WBA. We need to ensure that we start to plauy wothout a fear of failure and blow teams away with the kind of 'up and at em' direct football that has got us in this position in the first place. I believe we should be looking at Bristol and Hull and try to ensure we match their results. We have a MASSIVE game against Bristol, where there will be 2 games left after that game. I believe if we can win the next 3 games, 2 of which are at home, then we will stand a very very good chance of achieving promotion. Coventry away will be tough but it is certainly winnable. This is the time Stoke, We must ensure that we seize the moment and push on.

Absobloodylutely SGS, we have the opportunity and now we have to go for it. It isn't the time for faint hearts, the two teams that really go for it will be the ones who deserve to be promoted. I know we can do it and I hope we show it against Palace, a win on Monday followed by a win at the Ricoh will almost see us home.

If we had won just ONE of the recent draws we'd be sitting pretty. That's okay then, because we're going to win the Sheffield Wednesday game |

Will be tough lordb for sure and it's the one I'm most worried by but with a full squad I don't think we should worry about anyone. IF we play to our potential we will get enough points.
I think the return of Ric after a good rest and the additions of Shola and Pearson will give us fresh impetus over the next 5 games.

I dont think we can underestimate th eimportance of Fuller and Shawcross' return. Shawcross should add a little solidarity to the team as Cort has been struggling with injury. Fuller, along with Pearson, Lawrence, Ameobi could be the catalyst we need to strike fresh impetus to the team at just the right time. Now is the time.
