Pulis plotting Potters’ progress

SURVIVAL is now old hat for Stoke.

Having defied the gloomy prophecies of po-faced pundits everywhere by securing their top flight status last week, Tony Pulis now has his sights set on more glamorous targets as he aims to establish the midlands club at this exalted level.

Stoke moved into 11th place with this victory but Pulis has stressed Stoke cannot rest on their laurels and the long-term aim has to be to about replicating such form on a regular basis.
