Hard-working Bozenik can take the next step - Robins

MARK Robins knows Robert Bozenik has to add goals any which way to build on a promising breakthrough week in the Stoke City starting XI.

LEADING THE LINE: Stoke City striker Robert Bozenik now has to add goals to his game.

Summer signing Bozenik, aged 26, has had to be patient and earn his spot ahead of Divin Mubama at the centre of Stoke's attack and has earned praise for his work rate and energy against Charlton and Hull.

Fit again Sam Gallagher and fellow new boy Lamine Cisse are also bidding for game time in the striker role and whoever gets the nod has to have output to keep the shirt.

Robins said: "I thought Robert was good on Tuesday night, which is why he kept his place. You're looking for certain things from your centre-forward and one of those is to work the centre-halves really hard and try to put them under pressure to create opportunities to get into good positions to score goals.
