West Brom v Stoke thread. Can't forsee any predictable rehashed arguments coming up,no siree.  Could be a good time to play them maybe. Our side probably picks itself. TP has beaten Stoke 1.0 twice as an ex Stoke manager. If we score I fancy a draw at least,keep the run going. |

Tough game this will be, Ryan may be back though, be great to win again and keep moving up the league. |

Oh Mother of all things Holy. Really? Isn't it a tad early for this? When the match thread appears, that's when the belly gymnastics and palm sweating starts to creep in, just the beginnings of it. I thought I'd have a few days to relax a little. Now it's gonna start....wait..... maybe.... yep, there it is. Sweet Jesus.

Can't expect any free gifts from their keeper Villa had a whole season's worth, they lack width and pace on the wings ofc he has then solid in a 4 man cage, however our normal quality balls into the box will cause total havoc for them as the area between defender and keeper is their Achilles heel.
Crouch to score with Arni who is definitely due a ricochet goal 2-1 to Stoke.

On every count, we have more to play for than them. The players will be well up for it and Hughes will want revenge for Crystal Palace last season. I think this is another three points for the Mighty Potters.

I thought it was 2-1. Weren't we a goal up at HT but then threw it away? you could be right we could look it up of course can't be arsed... Anyway If Ryan is back that would be great. Arnie was at his best for his 20 minutes or so v Everton Him back in or leave Waltesr & Moses on? To be fair Moses had a very good all round game & Walters played well enough (after a quiet game v Hull). We all know TP sides are vunerable wide so I think Arnie on the bench again but happy if he does start. |

Hopefully a hard fought draw in the cup resulting in a tempting replay the week after our game will help distract them from the task in hand.

This will be a tough, tight game obviously with a bit of extra spice.
Tone will be aware of our threat on the break and will have his "back 8" well disciplined. More than ever, the first goal in this game is huge.
If they score first they will be very difficult to break down and will probably edge it 1-0. If we score first we could hurt them if they have to come out a bit.
I imagine that MH will want the players to control the game, something he mentions after nearly every match. Keep the ball, pull them around a bit and we must, must, must take one of the few chances that we get. Crouch to start? They will be so deep there'll be no room in behind. Charlie to start? With 2 midfielders deep, there might be he opportunity again to test Foster from distance.
Big test for our back 4 on set pieces. I hope Ryan is back. Also, Berahino is traditionally the type of Aguerro/Defoe striker that our central defenders struggle with.
Very hard game. They will be desperate for points with their run in at the end. Could be an attritional 0-0.

A game that will fly in the face of all preconceptions. A very entertaining 2 - 2 draw.  |

Could do with Villa beating WBA in the Q/F,We need WBA to be on a downer next week, not a team on a high.  |

Or West Brom winning so that they are pretty much safe and focusing on the FA Cup semi final.
Depends which way you look at it.....
