Stoke City boss Tony Pulis talks points targets, Potters fans and Dave Kitson in his weekly chat with TEAMtalk's Insider Mark Holmes.

Sunday sees the Premier League's bottom two clubs meet at the Britannia Stadium and the pressure will be on both sides to begin their assault up the table after so far registering just one win between them.

That honour goes to Stoke, who beat Aston Villa in the second game of the season, but the pressure is back on Pulis and his troops after two months without a second league success.

Pulis, though, is reading nothing into the standings at this stage and the Welshman insists he is not in the slightest bit concerned about when his side pick up the points they need for survival. And he is unruffled by the early exploits of fellow Premier League new boys Hull and West Brom.

"We've got to concentrate on what we can do and not other teams," said Pulis. "There's a long season ahead and the only thing that matters is that we get to a certain number of points.

"And if we get that amount then there'll be at least three teams below us. That's the fact and whoever the three teams are is irrelevant. We've just got to do our job to get those points.

"We are keeping that target to ourselves, but it doesn't matter if we pick those points up early in the season, during the middle part, or at the end. You've got to get them and you have a number of games to do it."

Sunday's encounter has already been labelled a six-pointer but Pulis has played down the importance of it, insisting he will go into every game believing Stoke can pick up points.

He said: "Every game is a six-pointer; It's far too early to start talking about any game being more important than any other.

"People say you can't get points off certain clubs but we've got four points off Aston Villa and Liverpool and the experts would have predicted no points from those two.

"Of course there will be games when the teams we play will be better than us and we have to accept it but they're all must-win games and you must try to win every one."

Pulis admits he is disappointed with City's points total of four points but he insists all that is needed is a change of luck - and not personnel or tactics.

"We haven't picked up the points I think we've deserved but the performances have been fine and we've been in every game.

"We've been punished for sloppy mistakes and there's been times when we've had good chances and not taken them. But the think we need more than anything is just a bit of good fortune."

A player that needs some luck more than most is record signing Dave Kitson, who is yet to get off the mark since his £5.5million summer switch from Reading.

Pulis played down talk of the striker being unsettled, though, and insists he will soon hit top form once he breaks his duck for the season.

"He just needs a goal like Keane did at Liverpool. He needs one to come off his backside and go in and he'll be up and running," said Pulis.

"Confidence is a massive thing for all players but strikers love to see that ball in the back of the net and they can get down in the dumps the longer it goes on. But Dave will be fine.

"The biggest disappointment is that chance he had at Portsmouth because everybody at this football club was hoping he'd finish that and if he had it would have taken the pressure off.

"So now we're hoping, with our fingers crossed, that he gets on soon and that weight will be off his shoulders."

There will be no better time for Kitson to get his first goal than on Sunday against the team he supported growing up and Pulis is confident the crowd will once again be on top form as they try to help Kitson get a goal and Stoke a victory.

Pulis added: "We've got a full house again and that's with the Sky cameras here so it's absolutely fantastic.

"The supporters recognise what an important part they've got to play in this challenge and they've been superb. They know there'll be tough times but they've really rallied behind the players and we'll need that right until the end of the season.

"They know they have to help us and they know they have to be resillient and stick in there when things aren't running for us.

"They've certainly done that so far and I'm sure it will continue right the way through; they've got the bit between the team and they're desperately trying to help all the players along."

Meanwhile Pulis has hit out at the pressure currently on Tottenham boss Juande Ramos and played down suggestions Sunday is a good time to play the North London side.

He said: "It's crazy that Ramos is under so much pressure after seven games. This is the toughest league in the world and he won the League Cup with them a few months ago.

"They got rid of a popular manager (Martin Jol) and picked him, so now they should back him. He's got a lot of experience and a lot of good players at his disposal. He just needs time to get the best out of them."

And Pulis is positive that Spurs are far better than their league position suggests, and also unfortunate not to have more points on the board so far.

"I thought they played well at Portsmouth to be honest. They had a lot of the play and were unfortunate with one or two incidents and a few things that could have dropped for them and changed the game. They dominated and were very unlucky to lose.

"They've got a very good squad of players down there but it just hasn't clicked yet and we're hoping it doesn't click on Sunday when we play them.

"You could say we're catching them at a good time when they're down in confidence but their luck has got to change at some point so you can view it both ways."

Kick-off on Sunday is at 4pm, with the game being screened live on Sky Sports.
