The2006–07 season wasStoke City's 100th inthe Football League, and the 40th in thesecond tier.

With the return ofPeter Coates andTony Pulis the objective was to now gain a return to the top flight of English football. Pulis was not a popular choice of manager amongst Stoke supporters and that feeling failed to be improved after a poor start to the season. But Coates provided Pulis with funds to spend onDanny Higginbotham,Ricardo Fuller and several high-profile loan arrivals includingLee Hendrie,Liam Lawrence,Rory Delap,Salif Diao,Andy Griffin andPatrik Berger. Stoke marked a turn around in the direction of the club with a 4–0 win away atLeeds United.

From then on Stoke produced a number of impressive performances as the side began to climb up the table. Stoke went into the final month of the season looking to claim a play-off spot but despite beating the likes ofLeicester City andWest Bromwich Albion frustrating draws againstCardiff City andHull City meant that Stoke needed to win their final match away atQueens Park Rangers to have a chance of finishing 6th. It was not to be as a 1–1 was the result and City missed out on the play-offs by two points but it was a very positive season for the club.^[1]

Season review

[edit]

League

[edit]

WithPeter Coates andTony Pulis back at theBritannia Stadium the main objective was to challenge for a place in thePremier League. The first act Pulis was since returning as manager was to bring in French forwardVincent Péricard from the club he just leftPlymouth Argyle.^[2] Despite Pulis expecting big things from him, Péricard failed to impress and is considered one of the worst players to play for the club by supporters. A more successful signing was that ofSouthampton defenderDanny Higginbotham for £225,000.^[3] Stoke lost their first match of the season away at newly promotedSouthend United but won their first home match 2–0 against aDerby County side tipped to be promoted.^[4] But after a woefully boring draw at home to Plymouth, Pulis was booed by the Stoke supporters.^[5] On transfer deadline Stoke completed the signing of Jamaican strikerRicardo Fuller for a fee of £500,000 and he would go on to have an eventful six-year career with the club.^[6] Pulis again took stick from supporters after seeing their side throw away a two-goal lead atBarnsley.^[7] However, despite the poor start to the season Coates remained in full support of Pulis.^[8]

To address the problem Stoke signedAston Villa wingerLee Hendrie,Liverpool midfielderSalif Diao andSunderland midfielderRory Delap whilstAndy Griffin extended his loan deal.^[9]^[10] And in their first match away at crisis clubLeeds United Stoke produced a fine display winning 4–0 which signalled a change in the direction of the club.^[11] Stoke won their next match against top of the table Sunderland but suffered a blow as Rory Delap broke his leg in two places.^[12] Stoke then beatNorwich City 5–0 and signed Sunderland wingerLiam Lawrence.^[13] This combined with a five match winning run pushed Stoke up the table and after a 1–0 win againstQueens Park Rangers goalkeeperSteve Simonsen made history by keeping seven successive clean sheets.^[14] But Stoke were brought back down to Earth with a bump, losing 3–0 away atColchester United.^[15]

In the January transfer window, Stoke signedLee Martin,Dominic Matteo,Gabriel Zakuani andJonathan Fortune whilst captainMichael Duberry left forReading leaving Higginbotham to take over as club captain.^[16] Stoke then went through a tough run of form winning just two from ten until the end of March before beatingLeicester City to get their promotion push back on track. Stoke then beatWest Bromwich Albion andCrystal Palace before frustrating draws againstCardiff City andHull City prevented Stoke closing the gap on 6th placeSouthampton. Stoke won their penultimate match of the season 3–1 againstColchester United to set up a decisive encounter away atQueens Park Rangers. However Stoke produced a disappointing performance and could only draw 1–1 meaning that they missed out on a play-off place by two points.^[17] Despite failing to reach the play-offs the feeling was greatly improved around the club for quite a while and there were high hopes Stoke could go one better in 2007–08 and finally gain promotion back to the top tier.^[18]

League Cup

[edit]

Stoke kept up their poor showing in the first round of the League Cup this time in a truly woeful defeat against League TwoDarlington. Stoke, at home, took the lead throughVincent Péricard after half an hour before Darlington were reduced to ten men. With a man advantage against poor opposition the expectation was to see out a routine win but Darlington scored twice without replay leaving Stoke and manager Pulis embarrassed.^[19]

FA Cup

[edit]

Two late goals saw Stoke see off League OneMillwall in the third round to set up an away match againstFulham but Stoke were easily beaten 3–0.^[20]
