TONY Pulis has defended a media ban on his relegation-threatened players by insisting: "I must keep them concentrated until the end of the season." His decision to choke his players has recommended the late cancellation of a Meet The Fans night with three of his first-team squad a few weeks. a Matthew Etherington is just a question for tomorrow's visit to QPR.

Talking before tomorrow's visit to QPR, his 400th league game in control of Stoke, Pulis said: "I believe in the staff, but we have not won enough goals and we've admitted soft goals. "We know how much pressure we are under to have results and it's about handling that pressure. "I think there's stuff in you that keeps you going yourself and you try to get that up to the participants also. "The most important things would be to keep them concentrated, to keep them together and to keep them believing. They are those I worry about most. "The best way of getting the best out of them is to ensure they're comfortable, but they have been first-class in training and they determine what is before them." Pulis, who has yet to be directed after 20 years in administration, continues to be adamant Stoke need a the least six factors to make certain success by reaching 40. "If it goes to the wire, it goes to the wire. That's management. It's perhaps not the very first time I have had to go there to get the task done. "The next five games are crucial to this team and we have got to show our true colors. "It is going to be interesting to observe the players respond a but I assume them to respond in the proper way. We have to be on the front foot." Matthew Etherington's back injury remains Stoke's key problem ahead of the sport, while Marc Wilson is under treatment for a leg injury. Meanwhile, Jermaine Pennant has returned to the team over time from it ground. The membership aren't commenting on tips there have been current discussions about paying up his contract 90 days before his deal expires. Pennant came ultimately back from the mortgage cause at Wolves in January, but has not pushed his long ago into the manager's ideas. Pennant, who fell foul of Pulis for disciplinary last year, made just two performances from the beginning of the present campaign before being farmed out to Wolves, where he did not make an effect.
