What is going wrong for Stoke City?
Stoke City's losses to Swansea, Southampton, and Wolves have been disappointing, with the team conceding 9 goals and scoring only 4. Mark Robins said: "so close to being really good", but the team's performance has not reflected this. The team's current league standing is 22nd in the Championship, with 3 points from 4 games, and a recent form of WLLL.
Can Stoke City turn it around?
Stoke City have a tough schedule ahead, with games against Norwich City and Charlton Athletic, who are top of the Championship with three wins from three.

Currently, Aaron Cresswell, Ato Ampah, Ben Gibson, Junior Tchamadeu, Lamine Cissé, and Svante Ingelsson are sidelined, which has not helped the team's cause.
