As much as I love the little fella he won't be missed in regards to his stoke city performances since his cup injury. I think Stoke's problems are deeper than Bojan's form, though. Did Hughes send Allen and Adam on before the rest of the team to make a point to the fans? Not sure what to make of that if he did!

This needs to be the end of Imbula and Bojan, and probably Shaq as well. None of those three acts like they want to be here. And that's the cut. I don't want to see anyone who wears the shirt that doesn't care, doesn't want to be there, or is a mercenary just here for the pay cheque before another big move. Not one of our Euro stars has stepped up to the next level. Just treading water. Even Arnie seems to have gone backwards a bit this season. Prune back some of the stars. Retire some of the loyal workhorses. Reshape, redefine things. Big summer ahead.

Adam & Allen comes on and immediately we start playing well. Allen should start every game.

I don't want to see anyone who wears the shirt that doesn't care, doesn't want to be there, or is a mercenary just here for the pay cheque before another big move. Not one of our Euro stars has stepped up to the next level. Just rreading water. Even Annie seems to have gone backwards a bit this season. Prune back some of the stars. Retire some of the loyal workhorses. Reshape, redefine things. Big summer ahead. I think it's quite difficult for a club like us to get players who 'really care' these days??

Allen and Affy seem to fit right in, in that respect. Arnie too, of course.

Could become a very pivotal game in the season.
Lose and our season is over, just a case of scraping enough points to stay in the division.
We could also see the final days of Bojan, Imbula and Shaq at the club. Perhaps even a move away from 'flair' players.
Interesting times.

The big summer should have been the last one.

Arnie, I think he's just down on form, he has the right attitide, unfortunately that attitude does mean he gets sent off sometimes but I'd rather that than players who don't care.
