Stoke boss Pulis delighted with fringe players in Cup win

Stoke City boss Tony Pulis was delighted with his fringe players after their FA Cup replay victory over Cardiff City.

Pulis made 10 changes for the third round replay at Cardiff, which Stoke won 2-0 after two goals in extra time from Jon Walters.

Pulis said: "I will use the squad again at Wolves, very much so.

"It was a tough game, both sides made loads of changes, and we are pleased to have come out with a win.

"I don't have to justify (selection) to anyone apart from my chairman.

"We've got a 25-man squad and we pay players good money whether they are in the team or out of the team.

"We wanted them to have a go tonight and they did. That is all you can ask for."
