Central defender Abdoulaye Faye believes a top 10 finish in the Barclays Premier League is within Stoke's capabilities this season.

But Faye has stressed the need for Tony Pulis' side to cut out the type of goals they conceded from set pieces against Wolves at the Britannia Stadium last weekend ahead of Sunday's clash at Hull.

Stoke led 2-0 at half-time but were undone by two goals from veteran Wolves defender Jody Craddock, both from balls into the box from Wolves substitute Nenad Milijas.

Faye said: "I was very disappointed with the result last weekend. In the first half we played very well but in the second half we didn't concentrate.

"Wolves had two set pieces and scored from both of them and we need to concentrate for 90 minutes. In our mind we probably thought we would win this game and that is why football is crazy! Last year we did very well, and also scored a lot from set pieces, but this season we seem to have a problem.

"Now I need to work hard at set pieces and it is very important. Every team in the Premier League is capable of scoring from set pieces."
