Stoke manager Tony Pulis admits he is pleased with his side's 1-0 win over Blackburn on Saturday, but insists he side are far from safe in the Premier League.

The Potters find themselves in 11th position in the standings with 39 points, just eight clear of the relegation zone and six points outside of the final UEFA Cup qualifying spot.

But Pulis insists now is not the time to lose concentration and has urged his side to continue pressing forward in this their debut season in England's top-flight.

"It is an enormous win against a team that is down there and scrapping for their lives. It was a big game today," he said.

"I'm just very pleased we have come away with the three points.

"But I still think you have to get into the 40s because teams can go on a run.

"Fulham and Bolton did it last year when they picked up a lot of points coming to the end of the season so we will be desperately keen to go to Fulham next Saturday trying to get that elusive point or three points."
