'The main thing is we are scoring goals'

Narcís Pèlach has given his Stoke City squad time to rest and recuperate during the international break. The Potters head coach will be hoping it helps his players come back fit and firing for their next Championship fixture away at QPR in 11 days.

You've been giving us your thoughts on how Pèlach has settled into the role since replacing Steven Schumacher in September.

Steve - We now have a manager who gives a half-time talk and the team responds. The second half improves due to a change in tactics. I feel more confident with Pèlach in charge. He has a system and win, lose or draw we’ll go forward.

Ian - We seem to be enjoying playing football and our defence is improving, but the main thing is we are scoring goals.

Peter - I think the head coach is doing a great job and knows he needs to a bring in defender or two in January. A right-back and left-back.

Gordon - Decent results, but still struggle in retaining possession in the midfield and upfront which prevents building up any real momentum. It puts too much pressure on the defence when we give the ball away. No other team plays the way Stoke do.

Will - It is far too early to make judgements. All of Stoke's recent managers have had short successful spells lasting three or four matches. If Stoke are in the top ten early next year then it will be time to get optimistic.
