Back in August, Stokes young centre-back Ryan Shawcro s had a dreadful game in Stokes first ever Premier League game, a 3-1 away defeat to Bolton. Despite an impre sive first season as a full profe sional, with Stoke in the Championship last season, it seemed to me that day that he wasnt

He stayed at Stoke, and after regaining his place in the starting eleven in October, the month in which he turned 21, he has looked every bit the Premier League player, forming an impre sive partnership with Faye, and putting in numerous impre sive displays, particularly in home matches.Shawcro s and

Despite scoring eight times last season, Shawcro s had failed to find the net for over a year going into the month of March. That was all to change quickly though, as he struck three times in the month,most recently nettingthe vital late winner in our 1-0 home victory over Middlesbrough. His newfound attacking potency has no doubt played a part in his victory of this months prize. March has been a good month forThe Potters, with seven points being gained from a po
