Imagine trying to get away with a 3:15 start these days with all the TV companies and vested commercial interests. "We're Stoke City, we'll start when we want" !

We are very slow starters this season for some reason.

We are very slow starters this season for some reason. Not exactly. I thought we started quite brightly on Sat and were good for the first 5-10 mins and that was partly the reason why our defence went walkies and were all over the place for the goals. We started like a train against West Ham. Maybe it was something we were guilty of earlier in the season and the coaching staff have tried to put it right.
