New Headline: Soccer Star Manhoef Captures Spectacular Scene of Unexpected Disaster
Stoke City forward Million Manhoef says he "needed" to rediscover his goalscoring touch and a lot can still happen in their bid for a play-off spot.
Stoke City forward Million Manhoef says "anything can still happen" over the remaining eight games of the Championship season as the Potters try to keep their hopes of making the play-offs alive. Stoke are nine points off the top six but took their unbeaten record at home to four games after dispatching Watford 3-1 on Saturday. Manhoef, who scored twice in the win, bagged his first goals since November.
"I needed a goal," Manhoef told BBC Radio Stoke. "[They were] definitely some good goals and I was pleased for the team and pleased to contribute. " The Dutch winger said he did not "want to go too high or go too low" over Stoke's goalscoring form, which has seen them notch 10 in their unbeaten run at the bet365 Stadium, including six in the last two games.
"It's about the outcomes and [it's] definitely good that we scored some goals in the last couple of games," he said. "Hopefully we can continue that and also keep the track record of having a very good defensive side. So if we can go into the last eight games with a lot of attacking play and goals, that will be great.
There's still eight games so anything can happen. "I just want to help the team, attacking-wise, defensively and get as many goals and assists as I can and we'll see where we end up. " Stoke's last two results - a 3-3 draw with automatic-promotion chasing Ipswich Town and the victory over the Hornets - have coincided with the return of full-backs Eric Bocat and Junior Tchamadeu after injury.
