Stoke City and the new R word being embraced in changing room

Stoke City have embraced being "relentless" after securing nine wins from their last 12 matches, according to midfielder Galbraith. Stoke sit third in the Championship table behind Middlesbrough and Birmingham City solely on goal difference. The squad recently matched a club record by winning five consecutive away games, capped by a 2-1 comeback victory against Portsmouth with goals from Jack McGlynn and Ben Wilmot.

Galbraith emphasized that the humble squad remains grounded despite their strong form and high league position entering the international break. Numerous Stoke players are now away on international duty, including Galbraith with Northern Ireland, before returning to face Birmingham City at home on November 21.
