Mark Robins still wants more from new-look Stoke City after six wins in eight

Stoke City manager Mark Robins has stated that he wants more from his revamped squad despite an impressive run of six wins in their last eight matches. Following an extensive summer overhaul that brought in ten new players, Robins emphasized the need to build a culture of higher expectations and maintain hard graft across the team as they continue to gel.

The manager noted that the deadline day sale of Sorba Thomas to Hull City provided the crucial funds needed to secure late signings Justin Devenny, Jack McGlynn, and Luca Bombino. Looking ahead to their upcoming Championship fixture against Bristol City, Robins warned that their opponents possess dangerous attacking quality and defensive strength, while also noting that adverse weather conditions from an incoming storm could impact the match.
