'We have to find more goals' - Stoke's Gibson

Ben Gibson has scored two Championship goals for Stoke this season

Stoke City captain Ben Gibson says the side cannot just rely on their forwards to score goals.

The Potters have only managed two goals in their past four games and have drawn a blank in matches against Preston and Burnley.

"It's not just on the forwards, just as it isn't with the defenders when we keep clean sheets because we should have goals all around the team," Gibson told BBC Radio Stoke.

"It's something we need to address. We'll work really hard this week, have long meetings about it and find ways to score more goals."

Tom Cannon is Stoke's leading marksman with seven of their 19 Championship goals but they are the joint-fourth lowest scorers in the division this season.

"Tom's been fantastic for us, we have to find more goals to support him and also give him more chances."

Stoke are 14th in the Championship and visit fourth-placed Sunderland on Saturday.
