Pulis: Stoke not safe yet

Stoke City boss Tony Pulis has warned his players not to take their eyes off the relegation scrap despite boosting their survival chances with a 2-0 victory at West Bromwich Albion.

Goals from Ricardo Fuller and James Beattie moved the Potters six points clear of the drop-zone and edged Albion closer to an immediate return to the Championship.

But despite picking up three precious points at The Hawthorns, Pulis has warned his players against complacency.

"We've got to keep our feet on the ground. There's still a way to go yet," he said.

"We've won a game, the next one is Newcastle which is a massive game and we will try and get the best result we can and then move on.

"There is certainly no complacency at this football club."

Pulis was also delighted with City's first away win of the Premier League season, adding:"The monkey is off our back with the way win.

"I'm very pleased we have done it with the fans not having to travel too far from home because they will have a great night tonight.

"It has been disappointing that we haven't had the win until now but we have played very well away from home. We just haven't got the results we deserved.

"But this is all new territory and new experiences and the players have to glean things from that. We've got to try and build on this if we can."
