"We lost Gifton Noel-Williams early in that game when he was sent off but we played well and battled for a hard-fought point.
"It's definitely the hardest and most important game of our season so far and it's a must-win game if we want to push for the play-offs,"
Opposition 'keeper Paddy Kenny, a hero to blades fans particuarly after the Arsenal cup game said he is banking on the 3 points, but knows the team will have to work hard to get something.
"Stoke are big, strong and physical and they don't let many goals in but I'm confident that if we play like we did on Tuesday we can pick up three points," Kenny said.
"We go out to win every game, we've not done too well recently but showed good character against Crewe and will use that at Stoke."
He adds: "We have been up amongst the leaders all season and would be disappointed if we missed out but we know we have to be on our game to get anything on Saturday."
