'We will find our way back'

Narcis Pelach was appointed Stoke City head coach in September

Stoke City head coach Narcis Pelach has posted a message to fans on social media vowing to work as hard as possible to start winning games again.

The Potters' 2-1 defeat by Luton Town on Tuesday was their third successive loss in the Championship and they have failed to win any of their past six matches.

"Defeats hurt and late goals are hard to take, but we will find our way back," Pelach said in a post on X.

"The next few days are about giving you something to cheer at the bet365 Stadium on Saturday.

"We will work as much as possible to improve and we will soon find ourselves in a good run of results."

Stoke have slipped to within four points of the Championship's relegation zone and on Saturday they are at home to Cardiff City, who are 22nd but could move out of the bottom three on Wednesday when they take on Preston.
