Didn't like the mention of 'on-going concerns' over Geoff Cameron's knee injury  Thought he would be well rested over this international break and good to go again. If both he and Whelan are out Saturday, we suddenly look vulnerable in front of central defence again |

Should we joke about players being injured?
Some subjects are not appropriate like bereavement, and for a Stoke fan joking about a Stoke player being injured is a bit off, which reminds me of the famous Bill Shankly quote.
Shankly is often misquoted; his original quote is about the fraternal love and rivalry that exists among Liverpool and Everton fans.
"I’ve seen supporters on Merseyside going to the ground together, one wearing red and white and the other blue and white, which is unusual elsewhere. You get families in Liverpool in which half support Liverpool and the other half Everton. They support rival teams but they have the same temperament and they know each other. They are unique in the sense that their rivalry is so great but there is no real aggro between them. This is quite amazing.
"I am not saying they love each other. Oh, no. Football is not a matter of life and death … it’s much more important than that. And it’s more important to them than that. But I’ve never seen a fight at a derby game. Shouting and bawling … yes. But they don’t fight each other. And that says a lot for them.
"

while we are on the theme of injuries, are there any recent reports of the recovery of Affaley and Ireland? Are they likely to be near fitness in the New Year?

If Cameron and Whelan are both out, presumably we'd have no real choice but to drop Allen back alongside Charlie and bring in Senor Krkic?

That would have to be it - but it does leave the defensive duties in the hands of those who are more focused on going forward than staying back and providing a shield for the defence. Against that you could argue that the Cherries are a nice passing side, not too physical, and we are at home and on a good run, so should be taking the game to them in any event. Add in the fact that Bojan should be buzzing after his goal in the last game, and it may not be too bad a week to "get away with it". |

So what is the actual Shaq update? Nothing said yet. At the time it was said it's a minor injury that he's had before and he usually recovers in 1 week (but couldn't recover for the West Ham game as we played Monday and Saturday that week). |

If both he and Whelan are out Saturday, we suddenly look vulnerable in front of central defence again Dont be too quick to wet your knickers. We had GW in front of the back four during the abysmal start to the season and the end of last, so lets just dispel this myth that he is some magical protective talisman. We have looked stronger & more organised recently but do not forget that this has been against some of the lesser teams in the division. I am sure others can step in and perform. If Hughes gives them strict instructions then I am sure they will be carried out. |

Its the sort of legend that Stoke fans seem to make up when they like a player who makes a big effort but clearly doesn't have any attributes you'd use to describe a top flight footballer. |

Any qualified physicians about?. I'm starting to wonder if Shaqiri should spend a few hours on a yoga mat instead of power lifting in the gym, then his hamstrings wont be as tight as a ducks backside.

If both he and Whelan are out Saturday, we suddenly look vulnerable in front of central defence again Said elsewhere on here I' felt we were getting the "thin end of the wedge " with the Cameron injury it seems to be our way . Won't be the lesast surprised if next step isn't exploratory surgery ,very frustrating. As for Me it's his role that's made the difference , real test without him and whelan for ome games we simply have to do well in against slightly better opposition than recently given the away games in December and the visits of Southampton and Leicester . That poor start means we have no margin for error well a three post margin ahead of Saturday . |

Is a three post margin some strange new goal mouth construction - or is it perhaps (and hopefully) a self imposed limit on the number of negative posts you intend to make today? |

Only on here could an injury to Geoff Cameron be met with cries of doom. He's a very limited, versatile squad player. Well thats what he should be anyway, we can put better players in deep lying midfield roles. As long as the manager gives them clear instruction what he wants from them and makes sure he keeps on top of them during the game, not let them do what they want then have a hissy fit when it goes wrong we should be fine. In fact better than we were with him and Whelan sitting. |
