Stoke City are looking up again after many years at the wrong end of the Championship and Mark Robins has the Potters believing that the good times are coming back.
One player who has been superb since arriving at the bet365 Stadium is keeper Viktor Johansson.
The Swedish shot-stopper, who is a product of the Aston Villa and Hammerby academies, made his name at Rotherham United where all his managers described him as “the best keeper in the league”.
He joined Stoke last year and he was again solid in their 1-0 victory over Birmingham on Saturday.
The fans I spoke to are in no doubt that “he is a Premier League stopper stuck in the Championship and if we don’t go up he will go”.
Those fans are quietly hopeful that this could be their season and if it is they will hope Big Viktor is helping them in the top league.
