Pelach's ideas will be 'brilliant' - Stoke's Gallagher

Stoke City striker Sam Gallagher is adamant the different ideas and style of play brought to the club by new head coach Narcis Pelach will be "brilliant" when the squad fully adapt to them.

The Potters have experienced an unproductive start under their new Catalan head coach, losing to Hull City and Middlesbrough in their two games so far.

Pelach, 36, has only been in the job 12 days after replacing the sacked Steven Schumacher and has already said his task is to change the club's "culture, standards and play."

Part of that has been to make Stoke more comfortable in possession - particularly in their own half - and has operated with a 4-4-1-1 formation in the matches against Hull and Boro, rather than the 4-2-3-1 system mostly favoured by Schumacher.
