Stoke City return to the Bet365 Stadium to take on Norwich City and try to build on a fortnight of positive momentum.
The Stoke City captain reflects on what could be a pivotal moment as his team prepares to face Norwich City at the Bet365 Stadium, aiming to capitalize on recent positive performances.
Josh Laurent observed significant aspects following Stoke City’s conceding of an equalizer against Preston last weekend. Despite the initial frustration, there was a noticeable sense of composure within the Stoke squad, coupled with enthusiastic support from the away fans, which appeared more enduring than the home crowd’s reaction.
Stoke’s track record of bouncing back from setbacks has been lackluster in recent years, with few instances of turning around matches after falling behind. Thus, the captain views this particular moment as potentially marking a shift in mentality.
Laurent highlighted the change in atmosphere within the club, largely influenced by recent results but also influenced by a collective effort from players, staff, and supporters. Notably, the fans’ vocal support has been instrumental in boosting morale during challenging times.
While acknowledging the positive developments, Laurent emphasizes the need to remain focused, as the team still faces a precarious position in the Championship table. With relegation still a concern, the captain stresses the importance of concentrating solely on their own performance and targets, rather than being preoccupied with other teams’ results.
