da betcris： Stoke City boss Tony Pulis has called on the club's fans to back his side to the hilt in tonight's Premier League clash with Birmingham City.
da heads bet： The Potters have slipped into relegation danger after a run of poor results, although Pulis believes a series of refereeing errors have not helped his team's cause.
Stoke have lost five successive matches in all competitions and Pulis is determined to end that dismal sequence, telling The Sentinel:"After the Manchester United game (Gary Neville's non-sending off) there was a lot of disappointment and people being vocal.
"Then after the Everton game (Tuncay's disallowed goal) there was a lot of disbelief and a lot of things were said.
"But on Saturday (Lee Cattermole's handball on the line) there was complete silence and that shows how much these decisions can affect the dressing room.
"I will be getting into the players but we also need the fans right behind us.
"What's happened over the last few weeks has galvanised the club. It's brought everybody back to the reality that to get through this we have to be as one.
"Maybe we'd got a bit complacent, but this will liven everybody up because we're in a scrap. What we've got to do, as a club and as a crowd, is roll our sleeves up and start picking up points.
"I think supporters have a right to stand up for their club. They pay good money to watch their team and have every right to complain about some of the decisions we've received."Subscribe to Football FanCast News Headlines by Email
