Championship

edit

August

edit

Stoke began their 2024–25 campaign at home against Coventry City, Lewis Baker scoring the only goal with ten minutes remaining.[14] A second half collapse the following week saw Stoke lose 3–0 at Watford with a brace from Edo Kayembe.[15] For the visit of Midlands rivals West Bromwich Albion Schumacher gave a first league start for Liverpool loanee Lewis Koumas. The Baggies scored early Karlan Grant before Koumas, equalised for his first league goal in professional football. However straight from the kick-off West Brom regained the lead through Josh Maja and they went on to see out the win.[16] On transfer deadline day leaving the club were midfielders Lewis Baker, Daniel Johnson and Josh Laurent whilst joining the team was Japanese defensive midfielder Tatsuki Seko and forward Tom Cannon.[17] Stoke ended August with a 1–0 win at Plymouth Argyle, Million Manhoef scoring past Conor Hazard.[18]

September

edit

Following the international break Stoke put in a poor performance away at newly promoted Oxford United losing 1–0, Idris El Mizouni scoring just after half time.[19][20] Head coach Steven Schumacher was sacked two days later along with his coaching staff.[21] Stoke moved quickly to bring in Spanish coach Narcís Pèlach from Norwich City for his first head coach role.[22] His first game ended in a 3–1 defeat against Hull City with the Tigers scoring three second half goals after Wilmot had given Stoke the lead.[23] City were outplayed by Middlesbrough a week later, losing 2–0 with Boro having 26 shots on Stoke's goal.[24]

October

edit

Stoke earned their first win under Pèlach in emphatic fashion, beating newly promoted Portsmouth 6–1 with Tom Cannon, scoring four goals becoming the first Stoke player to do so since Peter Thorne in March 2000. Gallagher and Moran also scored their first goals for the club.[25] The team then played out a goalless draw away at Swansea City.[26] After the second international break, Stoke took on promotion contenders Norwich City, Ante Crnac gave the Canaries the lead before a curling effort from Manhoef earned Stoke a point.[27] Three days later Stoke hosted Bristol City and despite making a strong start, going 2–0 up from Koumas and Moran the Robins controlled the match and ended up having 28 shots on Johansson's goal with a brace from Nahki Wells bringing them level.[28] Stoke ended October with a 2–0 defeat at promotion favourites Sheffield United.[29]

November

edit

Derby County made the short journey across the A50 and conceded an early penalty after Jacob Widell Zetterström brought down Tom Cannon, who converted from the spot. Stoke gifted the Rams an equaliser follwoing a mix up between Gibson and Johansson before Gibson made amends heading in a late corner.[30] Stoke then travelled to Blackburn, coming away with a 2–0 victory with goals from Manhoef and another penalty from Cannon.[31] City then drew 1–1 with in-form Millwall after Gibson cancelled out Josh Coburn's opener.[32] Following the final international break of the year Stoke drew 1–1 with Queens Park Rangers at Loftus Road with Žan Celar missing a penalty.[33] Stoke then played out a drab goalless draw with Preston North End who had goalkeeper Freddie Woodman sent-off late on for handling outside his area.[34] Stoke ended November with a 2–0 defeat against promotion contenders Burnley.[35]

Stoke were drawn away against League Two side Carlisle United in the first round, academy graduates Freddie Anderson and Emre Tezgel each scored their first professional goals for the club in a 2–0 victory.[38] In the second round, Stoke faced Championship rivals Middlesbrough at the Riverside Stadium. Stoke fielded their youngest ever team with an average age of under 21 and they put in a clinical performance winning 5–0 with goals from Tezgel, Koumas, Mmaee and a brace from Manhoef.[39] Ryan Shawcross took caretaker charge of the third round tie against Fleetwood Town, managed by Charlie Adam. A late goal from Rhys Bennett sent the tie to penalties after Michael Rose had given Stoke the lead. Johansson saved two Fleetwood pens as Stoke progressed 2–1.[40] Stoke were knocked out of the EFL Cup by Southampton in the fourth round, losing 3–2.
