'Anyone who thought it was done is daft!'

MARK Robins has warned his Stoke City players they need to get more points to be sure of safety heading into the two final games of the season.

Stoke return to the bet365 Stadium on Friday night (8pm) tasked with bouncing back from a horror show at Leeds when they take on a Sheffield United side now destined to finish in the Championship play-offs. Results on Monday left Stoke sitting four points clear of the bottom three and knowing that one win will guarantee survival. Other results - such as a defeat for Luton Town or Derby County on Saturday - could do that too but Robins wants his team to dictate their own future.

He said: "There’s four points in it now and you've got to expect teams to win below you. They're not just going to give it up. There’s a lot of football to be played and we've got to pick more points up.

"If anybody thought it was done, they're daft.
