'The players know what they have to do and seem up for the fight...'

STOKE City swing from one huge match to another in the battle to stay in the Championship.

- 

A midweek draw with Luton Town is followed by a trip to Cardiff on Saturday afternoon (3pm), with only two points separating the two clubs and only five points separating seven clubs from 17th to 23rd. Our fans' panel takes a look at what's giving them hope and what's giving them nightmares - and answers the all-important question with five games still to go: will Stoke stay up?

NOW YOU'VE SLEPT ON IT, WHAT'S YOUR VERDICT ON THE HOME DRAW WITH LUTON?

Mark Calladine: My overriding feeling after Tuesday night's score draw was that it was a massive opportunity and two points missed.

Score draws fascinate me in that while emotions created after a victory or a defeat are naturally those of jubilation or disappointment, the manner of a draw can still also cause a huge variation in emotions.

For about 17 minutes after Lewis Baker had given us the lead, everything looked rosy regarding all things Stoke City FC.

Some of us dared to even check our phones whilst checking other scorelines and couldn't help having a quick look at the live league table, which for a time had us up to 17th place and the points tally was looking much healthier.
