Stoke will take 'confidence' from scoring run - Moult

Crewe Alexandra striker and Stoke City academy graduate Louis Moult has said the Potters will take "confidence" from an impressive scoring spell at the bet365 Stadium. Stoke have scored three times in each of their past two matches on home soil, including a double from striker Milan Smit in their 3-3 draw with Ipswich Town - his first goals for the club since joining on loan in January. "You score six goals at home, you've got to believe that next chance is coming," Moult told BBC Radio Stoke.

"The talk before the Ipswich game was about Smit getting onto the scoresheet for the first time and I was so delighted to see him get these two goals. " As for whether the recent run of goalscoring form will prompt more goalmouth action from his team-mates, Moult can only draw from his own experiences - but those will have Stoke fans feeling optimistic. "I've been at clubs where I've gone 16 without a goal and then I've scored and then I didn't stop scoring after that," the 33-year-old added.

"It's believing in your own abilities and always making those runs believing you're going to get that chance. " Listen to Stoke City content on BBC Sounds
