Danny Higginbotham has backed Mark Hughes to turn around Stoke City's miserable recent form, but admits the club’s current situation is ‘starting to become desperate’.

A 1-0 New Year’s Day defeat at home to Newcastle has left the Potters 16th in the Premier League table, only two points above the relegation zone.

The team have won only two of their last 12 games, and there were boos and ‘Hughes Out’ banners from fans on Monday as the pressure mounts on their boss.
