Pulis urges fans not to take Stoke results for granted

Stoke City boss Tony Pulis doesn't want his club becoming complacent.

Pulis saw his team settle for a 2-2 draw at Wigan on Saturday - and then warned of their toughest home game yet when Blackpool rock into town next weekend.

"We mustn't get greedy," he cautioned. "Every game we will play, whether it be Wigan or Blackpool, will be tough.

"Earning a point away from home is always good and we will never sniff at that.

"We have to keep our feet firmly on the ground and keep plugging away.

"This league is going to be a lot more compact because the promoted teams have done so well, so it's a lot more difficult than last year.

"Wigan have some excellent players and next week will be the toughest game we've had at our place because Blackpool are treating every game like a cup final.

"They have nothing to lose and Ian Holloway has worked the oracle for them. They've kept the momentum going and because they haven't played this weekend they will be fresh. So we can't let up for one moment as a team or fans."
