Pulis Waits On Wilkinson News

Last updated : 04 March 2012 By Wes Handerley

When asked about the throw in incident, he said: "I haven't seen it, but if that (what Lambert said) is right and we got a little bit of luck, then I think we have deserved it with our overall performance."

Stoke’s worries of a few games ago seem to be gone as fast as they came with a couple of wins, the Potters are back up in eighth place after leapfrogging Norwich.

There was one thing to worry about though and that is the condition of Andy Wilkinson who had to be replaced by Jermaine Pennant in the 25th minute.

Pulis added: "We are not sure whether or not it is his hamstring - it might be his back.

"He might have just dislodged his back a little, which then caused his hamstring to get tight. But you can't afford to take a chance.

"We put Jermaine on and he did smashing. The two of them - him and Ryan Shotton - were very good on the right side."
