Hello chaps and chappesses.
I'm looking forward to this with some trepidation. I have a horrible feeling this is going to be a banana skin for us. As it stands, I'd be happy to take a point.
Sakho is still not definitely ruled out for this. According to Allardyce he is 50/50.
I'd like to see us go:
Adrian
Cresswell-Collins-Reid-Jenkinson
Amalfitino-Song-Noble-Downing
Valencia-Sakho/Cole
To win, I'm pretty sure you are going to need to score at least 2.
Hopefully it will be a decent and entertaining game.

4-4-2 with Bojan helping out (making up numbers) in midfield when we haven't got the ball. I'd also send Marko out with a flea in his ear demanding he gets more involved in the game or he's off.

This coming from quite possibly Pulis biggest fan Do you actually think before you you post this bollocks ? A steadfast supporter of a bloke who knew no plan B but is knocking Hughes for playing the same way and hoping it will work out Comedy gold Admittedly Pulis had his way and stuck by it however he would always change the system and way we played depending on who we played against. Do you actually process this shit before you type it?

We desperately need a win but, based on recent efforts and injuries, I will be happy with just a point

Downing is all over the front line these days with more of a free role, with Cresswell and Jenkinson coming forward like proper wing backs. I Suppose it's really more like ----------Collins-Reid---------- Jenkinson---------------Cresswell -------------Song---------------- ---------Noble--Amalfitano------- ------------Downing-------------- --------Valencia--Sakho----------

We need to score 1st.Have we lost this season when scoring 1st? Well we have lost 4 games in the league this season and we didn't score at all in 3 of them. So we have the grand total of 1 game to consider in the "lost but did we score first category?" and that is Sunderland away which we lost 3-1 and didn't score first. So the answer is no, but the sample is not particularly representative since it comprises 1 game only

Begovic Cameron Shwcross Wilson Pieters Moses Adam N'Zonzi Arnautovic Bojan Diouf 4-4-2 with Bojan helping out (making up numbers) in midfield when we haven't got the ball. I'd also send Marko out with a flea in his ear demanding he gets more involved in the game or he's off. I totally agree. Time for Arni and Bojan to step up the plate and show what they are made of. I don't feel so bad about the Southampton's defeats; few teams will live with them when they are flying. Diouf seems to have started scoring hopefully and even N'Zonzi now knows where the goals are!

West Ham will try and win the game that will suit Stoke. The same way Southampton did..........

Begovic Cameron - Shawcross - Wilson - Muniesa Moses - Adam - N'zonzi - Arnautovic Diouf - Bojan I've gone with Muniesa because I've come to the conclusion you need an overlapping fullback to get the best out of Arnautovic. It's no coincidence that he plays a stormer every time he goes on international duty. In the Austrian team he has Fuchs making runs in behind him so defenders back off him. Last night two defenders were on him every time he got the ball because they knew Pieters would sit back. Have to totally agree with this selection. Cant see Sidwell starting and think Arnie had OK game Weds and with MM overlapping will help him. Bojan looked promising and as many have said needs more game time. Moses and Diouf have pace and creativity to get behind their defence and just need to start quick out the blocks and get in their faces

I would presume (no offence intended if I'm wrong) that you've not seen too much of Cresswell and Jenkinson for us? They are almost doubling up as wingers, with Downing going as good as where he likes.

Watched Cresswell play for Ipswich Town on t.v. and he looked good playing in the same role, as he does now, for W.H.U.. Rumour had it that TP wanted Jenkinson on loan a couple of seasons ago but Arsenal doing Stoke a favour is about as likely as a Martian spacecraft landing at 'The Emirates'?

They are almost doubling up as wingers, with Downing going as good as where he likes. All the more reason to play arnautovic/assaidi/Moses then, as wingbacks leave gaps behind on the counter, particularly in such a narrow formation considering only the attack. Hopefully bojan is given a free role to float about like he does, allowing him to exploit the fact that the centre backs will need to compensate for cresswell and jenkinson pushing on and drift between them to support diouf and double up. Well, atleast that's how it works out in my head anyway

Yes Forgive me I knew where the information came from. I thought I had quoted the op, not 100% with the logistics of this board yet.

Begovic Wilson - Cameron - Shawcross - Muniesa Moses - N'Zonzi - Adam - Assaidi Diouf - Bojan I'd be happy with this or: Begovic Pieters Wilson Shawcross Muniesa Moses Cameron Adam Arnautovic Diouf Bojan Pieters at right back. Shit a brick! From what I could see he could barely kick with his left on Wednesday let alone his right.

All I want which 11 is on the field put more effort in than the first half on Wed,because if we don't the game will be over and done by half time.

They are almost doubling up as wingers, with Downing going as good as where he likes. No offence taken Flying full backs is key to making that system work. I think playing out and out wingers is the way to counteract that. Moses and Assaidi to push right up and peg them back. The alternative is to track the full backs but then you end with a logjam. West Ham would fancy nicking a 1.0 in that scenario. Stoke need to go for it,get it wide and pull defenders out of position.
