Stoke are slowly but surely growing in stature under Michael O'Neill and can build on their solid start to the Championship at home to Barnsley on Wednesday night.
The Potters have taken seven points from the last nine – and kept three clean sheets from their opening five games – to fuel hopes of a promotion push after last term's relegation scare.
Managerless Barnsley, meanwhile, have just two points from their five fixtures and look set for a long, hard season of struggle.
