Two comebacks, the second more impressive than the first, marked an Easter weekend that wasn't stellar by our current high standards but kept our unbeaten run going, and - most crucially of all - kept the points tally ticking up as the matches remaining column ticks down.

All the same, we could do with a return to winning ways this week as we venture up to Stoke tomorrow. It would have seemed incredible 10-15 years ago, but winless against us in the last three league encounters and having lost three of the last four meetings at the Britannia, we have a claim to be Stoke's bogey team right now. Nevertheless, they stayed unbeaten over Easter, and so far this spring have lifted themselves out of immediate relegation danger with a couple of wins; they're not safe yet by any means, so we can't count on any complacency from Steve Schumacher's men. But with Kipre likely to make a return for Albion, hopefully we'll see a good competitive game between the sides.

Rotherham then visit next Wednesday for the last evening kick-off of the regular season, and with only four wins all season (one of those admittedly on Easter Monday), no away victories, no points on the road since January and not even a goal on their travels since February, there can really be no excuse for not putting the Millers to the sword. They may already be mathematically relegated by the time the match kicks off - it's certainly a foregone conclusion in all realistic terms - and though we all know Albion's form with banana skins, it's the home stretch now and we've got a job to do. Four points is the target from these if six is too much to ask.
