The2003–04 season wasStoke City's 97th season inthe Football League and the 37th in thesecond tier.

With Stoke being successful in avoiding relegation managerTony Pulis could begin making alterations to his squad for the 2003–04 season. A number of ins and outs followed but after a good start Stoke won just five of their first 21 matches and it seemed that another fight against relegation would be required. But after a win againstWest Ham United in December Stoke went nine matches unbeaten and pulled themselves away from relegation trouble. Their good form continued until the end of the season with Stoke ending a promising season of consolidation in 11th position with 66 points.^[1]

Season review

[edit]

League

[edit]

ManagerTony Pulis made a number of alterations to his squad in the summer of 2003 as a number of players which helped Stoke gain promotion and subsequent survival left the club and in came several new players. These included experienced goalkeeperEd de Goey, defendersClint Hill andJohn Halls, midfieldersJohn Eustace andDarel Russell and forwardsCarl Asaba andGifton Noel-Williams whilst the most notable departures was that ofJames O'Connor and fan favouriteSergei Shtanuk.^[1]

Stoke began the 2003–04 season well beatingDerby County 3–0 on the opening match and thenWimbledon to see Stoke sitting top of the table after two matches.^[1] But Stoke's form soon fell away and despite the return ofAde Akinbiyi Stoke won just 5 of their first 21 fixtures which ended with a 3–2 defeat at home toCardiff City with former fan favoritePeter Thorne scoring a hat trick but such as his popularity with the club he refused to celebrate and earned a standing ovation from the Stoke supporters.^[1] With Stoke looking likely to be involved in another scrap against relegation Pulis brought in experiencedno nonsense defenderGerry Taggart and in his first match he helped Stoke claim an unlikely three points away at high-flyingWest Ham United.^[1] This prompted Stoke's revival and in the next match Stoke beatReading 3–0 with a hat trick from Dutch wingerPeter Hoekstra.^[2]

Stoke remained unbeaten for six more matches until their run was halted by a heavy 6–3 defeat atCrystal Palace.^[1] Whilst there was some hope from the fans that Stoke could mount a late push for a play-off spot they failed to keep a consistent run of form going and ended the season in a mid-table position of 11th.^[1] It was a promising end to the season with Stoke beating already promotedWest Bromwich Albion 4–1 and the feeling around the club was that they could now begin to look for a promotion to thePremier League rather that worry about being relegated to the third tier.^[1]

FA Cup

[edit]

Stoke drewWimbledon in the third round who had now moved toMilton Keynes and after a bad tempered 1–1 draw at theNational Hockey Stadium a free kick fromAdam Nowland settled the replay.^[1]

League Cup

[edit]

Stoke had a poor League Cup campaign as they narrowly beatRochdale and were then knocked out 2–0 byGillingham.^[1]
