stoke city mid season review 2014 - 2015

Next is my preview for stoke city

How their recruitment went - I think it went okay but not the splashing of cash people expected. Bojan has been a really good signing for them and has improved the overall quality of their play. They got oussama assaidi back on loan but he has not played enough to impress. Mame biram douf has been okay and has impressed at times this season. Also Phil bardsley has been a good free transfer acquisition like Steve sidwell.

How they have performed - hit and miss, they seem to have improved there away form this season but it has come at the cost of a bit of home form this season which is strange because usually stoke are reliant to get a result at home.

How the manager has done - Mark Hughes has done a good job changing the philosophy of the stoke team a bit but not at the expense of results. Stoke had their best ever season last and I think they will be okay this season.

Star player - bojan, the new signing from Barcelona has fitted in quicker then anybody could have really imagined. He has a6 few goals and his all round quality really ups stokes game.

What they need to improve - they need to score a few more goals,u defensively they are sound but they need to be a bit more clinical. A few signings in January couldn't hurt their chances of getting that.

Final positioning - 11th
