‘Outstanding’ – Mark Robins Breaks Silence on Surprise Stoke City Hero After Cardiff Clash”
Stoke City striker Sam Gallagher received high praise from manager Mark Robins after coming on as a substitute in their crucial 1-0 victory over Cardiff City.

Despite dealing with injuries earlier in the season, he has contributed three goals in 19 appearances so far. With just four games left, Gallagher will play a vital role in Stoke’s efforts to maintain their Championship status, and Robins will need to decide whether to start him in the upcoming fixtures against Sheffield Wednesday and Leeds United.

We’ve Got to Start Picking These Points Up’ – Mark Robins Lays Down the Gauntlet Ahead of Crucial Stoke City Clash at Cardiff City
Ahead of Stoke City’s crucial match against Cardiff City, Mark Robins expressed optimism despite the challenges his team faces. With only five matches remaining in the Championship season, Stoke are sitting just two points above the relegation zone, making the Cardiff clash a potentially season-defining encounter. Robins remains positive after an unbeaten run since the international break, with a win over QPR and draws against Preston North End and Luton Town. “Those performances are the things that start to pick up points,” Robins said, emphasizing that Stoke are building momentum.
While the late equalizer conceded to Luton could have been a morale blow, Robins remains focused on the task ahead. “For us it’s all to play for,” he said, highlighting the opportunities still available for his side to survive. With key players like Josh Wilson-Esbrand nearing a return, Stoke’s injury issues seem to be easing, which could prove vital in the final stretch of the season. Robins also praised the unwavering support from Stoke’s fans, with over 1,600 supporters making the long trip to Cardiff. “They’ve been vocal in a really positive way,” Robins added, acknowledging the vital role the fans play as the team battles to retain their Championship status.
Snarling Ex-Owl Returns: Sheffield Wednesday on Edge Over Familiar but Ferocious Threat
Sheffield Wednesday prepare to welcome relegation-threatened Oxford United to Hillsborough this afternoon, aiming to claim their first home win since New Year’s Day. While the Owls have steadied their season and face no immediate danger, the same cannot be said for Oxford, who are fighting to avoid the drop after a tough campaign on the road.
All eyes will be on the midfield battle, where former Wednesday favourite Will Vaulks is expected to play a key role for the visitors. Now a driving force under new Oxford boss Gary Rowett, Vaulks brings both experience and emotion into the clash—qualities that Owls manager Danny Röhl is keenly aware of. Yet, Röhl insists the focus remains on his own team’s performance: “We play at home, and I want us to control the game, dictate the rhythm, and show our quality. If we do the basics right, we have what it takes to win.”
