As the other guy said if delap plays we will lose , even though it was his throw ins that helped us win the game at the brit last year! not as effective this season . Tuncay can start to cement his place in our team and form a deadly partnership with ric and hopefully whelan can hit another 30 yard screamer past freidel again .
I'll go for 1-1 draw with carew and tuncay scoring.
probable team -
-----------------------------------------sorro------------------------------------------ wiko-----------------shawcross-----------------faye---------------------colins lawrence--------------whitehead------------delap--------------------ethers --------------------------tuncay--------------fuller----------------------------------
My team choice -
------------------------------------sorro---------------------------------------- wilko--------------shawcross----------------faye---------------collins lawrence-----------------------whitehead---------------------ethers -----------------tuncay-------------------------whelan------------------- ---------------------------------fuller---------------------------------------
go on STOKE !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dealp has to be dropped IMOA as he dont look right at the moment and playing him out of position isnt fair as it makes him look a chump.....If he does pick him it gotta be in the middle but personally Id go for Whitehead and Whelan or Diao and Whelan.....But knowing Tone it will be a midfield of Ethers and Rory wide and Diao and Whitehead in the middle.....No penetration Im afraid....

I'd happily settle for this from StokeCityMAD:-
Prediction: The Potters will be bombarded by pressure and go behind to a well taken goal, Milner supplying Agbonlahor, before Fuller replaces Sidibe on the hour mark and changes the game, running at tired legs the Jamaican combines with Tuncay to equalise in the closing stages. d.

Well straight from the horse's mouth, Pulis is starting Tuncay www.stokecityfc.com/page/NewsDetail/0,,10310~1908247,00.html "Tunny will be the first name on my teamsheet for Saturday and he deserves to know that he is playing after his performance against Wigan," said the manager in looking ahead to the game against in-form Aston Villa.

This is what I think: Sorro Huth Shawcross Faye Wilko Delap Whelan Whitehead Ethers Ric Tunny 3-1 Villa, Tunny with the consolation. This is what I would like (realistically): Sorro Wilko Shawcross Faye Collins Lenny Whelan Delap Ethers Ric Tunny 1-1, Tunny I would like what you would like. That midfield quartet did really well for us towards the end of last season.

3-0 to Villa. Their pace will just tear our weak centre midfield apart and the amount of pressure will crack the defence. Also might as well chuck a penalty save in by Sorro, seems a week in week out thing

With you Mr Proven- think their pace will undo us badly. Am concerned so many have Huth in the side. Not only could we lose but get a points deduction as well :-)

Don't you think Beattie and Tuncay would make a better pairing?

Diao is going to commit some serious fuck-up in this match, I know it. Or just give away 100 fouls in shooting positions until they inevitably score one.

GOAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRN STOKE!!!!
wasnt it us that derailed them last season at about this time, i'd love it to happen again. the stoke game was a turning point for a downward spiral for them.

Ultra defensive today I think, Villa love the counter attacking, fast paced breaks etc
0-0 for me 8-1-1 formation

Difficult match, but fingers crossed for a good result. My pessimistic prediction is a 3-0 defeat - the optimist in me is hoping for a 2-1 victory. Go on and make us proud, lads.
