Stoke City kick-off their fourth Championship campaign this weekend in the hope that they can build on positive foundations laid by Michael O’Neill and make a push for the top six.
Stoke surpassed the 50-point mark in the Championship yesterday, defeating Derby 1-0 at the Bet365 Stadium. Jacob Brown scored the winner for the Potters, his third goal in the Championship during a testing season for the striker in his first year in the Potteries.
