Lambert adamant Stoke too good to go down

Stoke City boss Paul Lambert is adamant they're too good to go down.

Lambert takes over with Stoke third from bottom and with only 15 games to go.

But he says that with the help of supporters, too, Stoke can survive into an 11 Premier League campaign.

“One hundred per cent," Lambert stressed during his first press conference.

“There's so much good here and if I can get it out then we will be really ok.

“There's 15 games to go and I was at the game last night and thought we played well.

“There were some really good things to work on. But my time starts Saturday (v Huddersfield) and if we can get this place really going and get the players working as hard as they should be working then we've got a great chance.

“They (the squad) have got more than enough. They shouldn't be in the position they are in.

“There's some really talented footballers here. If we can get the togetherness and spirit, that will take us along way and hopefully on Saturday that will be a victory for us."
