Stoke City returned to training today with a heightened sense of urgency ahead of a critical Championship showdown against Cardiff City, a match Wouter Burger has dubbed a “cup final.” The Potters know that a win in South Wales would be a massive step toward securing their Championship status, with just a handful of games remaining. Backed by over 1,500 fans, Stoke will face Cardiff with a two-point advantage, having slipped to a frustrating draw against Luton Town midweek after conceding a last-minute equalizer.

Burger admitted the team was hurting after dropping two valuable points, but there was no time for regret. “We just have to stay together,” he said, emphasizing the importance of focusing on the next game. Manager Mark Robins echoed this sentiment, acknowledging that late goals have become a painful trend but stressing that the team must quickly recover and look ahead to the challenges that remain. “There’s still a long way to go,” Robins said. “A lot of work to be done, but we’re still alive in this fight.”
