Rangers crack fragile Potters

DOES anyone really want to be promoted to the Premier League this season?

Just a few weeks ago West Brom looked odds-on to romp away with the Championship title yet are now just one of a handful of play-off contenders. Now Stoke seem intent on emulating them.

Victory at Queens Park Rangers yesterday would have lifted the Potters back to the summit ahead of unlikely new pace-setters Bristol City but it never looked like happening for Stoke, who had also been beaten in midweek at Preston.
