HAT-TRICK HERO IN RIGHT PLACE, SAYS ROBINS

HAT-TRICK hot shot Divin Mubama is in the right place to start finding his big potential, says Stoke boss Mark Robins.

The 21-year-old is getting his first regular taste of men's football on loan at Stoke from Man City but, having scored two in his first two matches back in August, Robins has had to be patient for the third.

The England under-21s ace then repaid that faith with three goals in a 5-1 statement win for Stoke over fellow playoff hopefuls Bristol City on Saturday.

"He's a good player," said Robins. "How good he can get is genuinely up to him. You give him a platform.

"He's a Manchester City player and somebody who has been bought from West Ham. We've been lucky enough to be trusted with him and his development.

"I think, overall, it's a really good place for him to be. He's going to get opportunity. He's going to get some goals.
