Wilson's fitness problems come after he missed four weeks with a broken leg earlier in the day in the season. And Etherington has been hit so very hard by irregular exercise problems through the campaign that his longest run in the medial side was 10 activities during November and December. Certainly, the pair have just started three category games together on the left-hand side this season... a damning information that describes many of Stoke's dilemmas. They lined up together on the opening day of the season at Reading, then at Fulham in Wilson's recovery sport in February, and again in the new house defeat by Aston Villa. But Etherington was subbed midway through the very first half at Fulham and then forced to retire at half-time against Villa. Therefore all told, the couple have really used only 149 minutes on the message together as left-back and left-winger. "Yes, they have been a miss, there is no denying that," Pulis accepted. "I think we've especially missed Matty in our home games due to the pace he's to grow clubs. "I still maintain that there's few, if any, better people of his form when he is firing and fit. Why it is imperative we get him playing again." that is Jerome, meanwhile, has been forced to have a steroid shot in his ankle to ensure his period does not end prematurely with four fittings still outstanding. The 26-year-old striker, who has commenced five of Stoke's last eight games, performed his part in Saturday's 2-0 win at QPR after Pulis re-introduced his pace to the staff to trouble the main defensive pairing of Clint Hill and Christopher Samba. Norwich, whose conquer Reading last week-end was only their second in 17 league games, may have England owner John Ruddy in target once they visit the Britannia on Saturday. Ruddy, back reserve-team motion after five months out following thigh surgery, is pressuring Mark Bunn for his old first-team position. STOKE first-team coach Mark O'Connor completed the London Marathon in just under four hours on Sunday. He's trying to increase A10,000 for the Donna Louise Youngsters' Hospice.
