ROWETT EYES POTT SHOT AT PROMOTION
Stoke v Swansea KO 8pm
GARY ROWETT admits there are “no excuses” for Stoke’s sticky start – but says they can still battle for promotion.
Having been pre-season favourites to go up, the Potters sit 20th, with just six points from their first seven matches.
And manager Rowett (above) said: “We’ve had a slightly sticky start and that creates a bit of negativity, which is understandable.
“When I was Derby boss last term we had 13 points from the first 10 games, but we made the play-offs. There are so many points in the Championship.”
