Narcis Pelach's performance under scrutiny at Stoke City

Narcis Pelach has now gone over five games without a win with Stoke City, which raises major concerns for the team as they struggle in the league. Unfortunately, there hasn’t been a significant improvement in the team’s performance, and Stoke City is hoping to be in a better place for its next game.

On November 2, they’ll face a tough EFL Championship matchup at home, where they’re aiming for a much-needed win to reassure their fans that they intend to compete strongly this season. However, since Pelach’s arrival in September, there hasn’t been a noticeable shift in the team's competitive mindset, as he has managed only one win in nine games so far—an alarming situation for Stoke City.

Stoke City's recent results are far from positive

Their last match was one of the toughest of the season so far, as Stoke City faced Southampton in the Carabao Cup on the road. It was a challenging round for Stoke City, and the team was expected to perform at a high level to advance in a tournament that includes Premier League teams.

Despite managing to score two goals, Stoke City couldn’t hold on, as a late goal saw Southampton clinch a 3-2 victory, eliminating Stoke City from the cup. This was a heavy blow for Pelach, whose training methods and overall work are being closely evaluated as results remain unfavorable.

There is growing concern among Stoke City and its fans since they had hoped to bring in a winning coach with a strong mentality. At just 36, Narcis Pelach came with some experience managing Huddersfield Town and CF Peralada, making him a young talent with potential to lead a team.

However, so far, results have not gone his way at Stoke City. We’ll see how the situation develops as they face Derby County on November 2 in another challenging EFL Championship match, where Stoke City will be looking to secure a crucial victory.
