Pulis 'We need 20pts for playoffs'
Last updated : 16 March 2005 By Rob Stanway
If you would allow us to do the math.. thats 6 wins, 2 draws and one loss - or of course better.
Stoke currently have 54 points and Pulis estimates 74 will be enough to get us into the playoff zone.
In 03/04 season, 73 was enough for Crystal Palace and Ipswich to get into the playoffs. In 02/03 season, 74 was enough for Nottingham Forest and in 01/02 it took 75 points for Norwich (just).
"I think we need 74 points, that's 20 points more - it's a tall order but who knows?" said Pulis.
"But this result was disappointing. It was a dreadful start to give a sloppy goal away after 40 seconds which gave them confidence and knocked us.
"We only got going in the second half. Once Ken hit our goal I thought we'd go on to win it but Smithy turned up with a cracker. It was too good a goal for that game."
