Mark Robins has praised the unwavering support he’s received from Stoke City’s leadership, particularly owner John Coates and sporting director Jon Walters, during what he described as a challenging four-month battle to keep the club in the Championship. Since taking charge on New Year’s Day, Robins has been solely focused on survival—a mission accomplished with a final-day draw at Derby County. Now, with safety secured, he’s turning his attention to building a more stable future, confident in the groundwork being laid behind the scenes. “Everything we’re doing will take time,” he said, “but when it all comes together, Stoke City will be in a really strong place for years to come.”

Farke Faces Tough Choice: Drop £45k-a-Week Leeds Flop to Unleash Dan James’ Explosive Potential?

April 21, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Today could be the day Leeds United secures their promotion back to the Premier League, as they face Stoke City at Elland Road. With a win and a Sheffield United loss, the Whites will seal their return to the top flight. After their 1-0 victory over Oxford, manager Daniel Farke may look to freshen up his lineup, particularly after a short recovery period. One key change should be the inclusion of Dan James, who has been a standout performer this season.

James, named a finalist for Championship Player of the Season, has been crucial in the final third with 12 goals, 16 ‘big chances’ created, and 9 assists in 30 starts. To give Leeds the best chance of success in such a critical match, Farke must bring James back into the starting lineup. This means dropping Brenden Aaronson, who has struggled with form, having contributed just two goals and no assists in his last 19 appearances. With James in the starting XI, Leeds’ attack would feature a dynamic trio of James, Gnonto, and Manor Solomon, giving them the edge they need to secure promotion.

Robins Hails Stoke City ‘Trailblazers’ — Dares Them to Chase Class of ’92 Legacy

Mark Robins has praised Stoke City’s rising stars Nathan Lowe and Sol Sidibe, celebrating their nominations for EFL awards as a reflection of their talent and commitment. Both players, who have risen through the club’s academy from a young age, impressed during the first half of the season—Lowe with a prolific loan spell at Walsall, and Sidibe as a standout England youth captain. While injuries and limited game time have hampered their progress in recent months, Robins remains confident in their potential and believes they are setting the standard for others in the academy to follow.

“They’re the trailblazers,” Robins said. “It’s great for them, great for the club, and hopefully a sign of what’s to come from our academy.”

Manor Solomon Drops Unexpected Injury Bombshell After Leeds United’s Victory Over Oxford United!

Leeds United’s 2-0 victory over Oxford United on Friday evening brought them a step closer to securing automatic promotion, maintaining their five-point lead over Sheffield United. Despite Oxford’s chances, Leeds had the better opportunities and could have won by a larger margin. Manor Solomon’s goal proved pivotal in ensuring the win, which was crucial after Burnley and Sheffield United had both won earlier in the day.

Looking ahead, Leeds’ next challenge is against Stoke City at Elland Road, with just three games remaining. Solomon, who was substituted late on, reassured fans that his early exit was due to cramp, not injury, and he would be fit for the Stoke match. To secure promotion, Leeds need at least four points from their remaining fixtures, with Sheffield United’s results playing a key role in determining how many points will be needed.

Chilling Revelation Behind Late Sheffield Wednesday Call – Shocking Truth Emerges Over Mysterious Substitution

April 19, 2025 RAYMOND 0

Michael Ihiekwe was initially named in Sheffield Wednesday’s starting line-up for their match against Stoke City, but a last-minute change saw him withdrawn just ahead of kick-off. Manager Danny Röhl revealed that the decision was made due to a severe injury — Ihiekwe had sustained a deep cut during training the previous day, which made wearing boots too painful. Despite traveling to the match, he was replaced by Dominic Iorfa, who was later substituted himself before the hour mark. Röhl confirmed that Iorfa’s substitution was a tactical decision, not injury-related, and provided valuable minutes for rookie Gabriel Otegbayo.

Exclusive Revelation: David Prutton Drops Bombshell on Nathan Lowe’s Uncertain Stoke City Future!

April 17, 2025 RAYMOND 0

David Prutton, Sky Sports pundit and former Premier League midfielder, has shared his thoughts on Nathan Lowe’s future at Stoke City following his underwhelming return from a successful loan spell at Walsall. Lowe had been one of the standout performers in League Two, scoring 18 goals and providing seven assists in 30 appearances for Walsall. His impressive form prompted Stoke to recall him in January, but he has struggled to replicate that success in the Championship.

Despite a dream return with a goal against West Brom, Lowe has made only eight appearances since, with his recent involvement limited. Prutton suggests that Stoke may consider selling the 19-year-old if the right offer comes in but also believes that Lowe has the potential to thrive under manager Mark Robins. However, given Stoke’s position and Lowe’s age, a loan move to a League One club could be a possibility for next season, though he might still be given a chance to prove himself in the Championship.
