Ben Wilmot has said Stoke City are aiming for the play-offs this season following their strong start to the Championship season.
Stoke have won four and lost one to open the season and marked their return after the international break with a 1-0 win over Birmingham City. They currently sit second in the Championship just one point behind leaders Middlesbrough.
The Potters have not finished in the top six since the 2007-08 season, when they reached second and were promoted to the Premier League.
Since relegation from the top-flight in 2017-18, they have finished no higher than 14th.
