Odemwingie on Stoke goalscoring form: It's because people talk to you nicely here!

Stoke City striker Peter Odemwingie was delighted with his brace in victory over West Ham United.

The Nigerian is feeling at home in the Potteries.

Odemwingie said: "When you have the backing, the players believe in you, they speak to you nicely and the manager believes in you, it makes a whole difference.

"You're not playing on the pitch thinking they might substitute me now. I feel relaxed.

"You're still nervous sometimes because it's a new club and I want to do a lot because they gave me that opportunity in January but with time and goals, I will feel more at home and just play my football."
