Pulis: Premiership survival remains Stoke target

Stoke City boss Tony Pulis insists survival remains their only target this season.

Saturday's 3-0 victory over Blackburn at the Britannia Stadium made it four Premier League matches without defeat for Pulis' side and saw them leapfrog Rovers in the table and move up to 11th place.

"We have got to get to 40 points, I think everybody will be wanting to get that," said Pulis, whose team moved to within 11 points of that tally with Saturday's triumph.

"I think the sooner you get to 40 points then you can take stock, but 40 points is the target.

"It's six games unbeaten which is good and if we can carry that on a few more games, get a few more wins, we will be delighted."
