Assistant manager Mark Bowen says Stoke City have a place in the top eight firmly within their sights.
?The Potters have enjoyed a fine campaign so far but their recent consecutive defeats against West Bromwich Albion and Crystal Palace has seen them drop down to 10th place on the table.
?Despite the double disappointment though, Mark Hughes' no.2 Bowen is very confident that Stoke can bounce back immediately and finish within the top eight at the end of the current campaign.
?Bowen said: "We've had two hiccups. From two games we would possibly be expecting three or four points from we've got none, so we've got to make sure we pick them up elsewhere.
?"There's been times when we've disappointed ourselves and other times when we've done really well, so the season goes on and we've got to cut out those little errors. We've certainly got to work on them before the Chelsea game because that will be a tough test for us."?
