Stoke City captain Ben Gibson believes their inexperienced squad is learning how to win in different ways.
The Potters are looking for a third successive victory when they host in-form Millwall on Saturday. They had failed to win their previous four Championship matches under Narcis Pelach.
"We're young, we're inexperienced - it's about know-how and finding a way (to win)," Gibson told BBC Radio Stoke.
"We want to play free flowing football and for every night to be like Portsmouth at home was but that's not going to be the case."
Gibson moved to the bet365 Stadium from Norwich City in the summer where Pelach was briefly first-team coach.
