Sometimes I fantasise about berahino scoring a goal, or Wimmer being a good player. Its only a bit of fun I thought he was ITK or summat. Haha mate I know the square root of fuck all! 😀

I have every confidence in a 1-0 away win (Berahino) but then that's me, I am very positive, I don't get carried away when we lose or draw, just when we win. I admire your Constitution sir 👏

They've got more 'legs' than we have So do there players have 3 legs each, and ours only have 2 each?

I think one thing is for certain, all options are possible, can see us sneaking a win, can see us holding on for a bore draw, can see us loosing, can see us getting thumped.
Who knows, that's what being a Stoke fan is all about.

Coates and the Board have a reputation for giving the manager time and not rushing into a decision that they’ll live to regret. I would like to think that they are taking their time about lining up potential replacements. One of the big mistakes they have made is allowing Hughes the freedom to pick all his back-room staff, which means there’s no obvious interim replacement. I have the basic “F” Level USSA Coaching Certificate, which means I know the rules and not a registered sex offender. I would be willing to work for food and lodging.

We will win, no doubt about it, it's called being a Stoke fan, we will manage the game, nice and cool, score midway through the first half (Berahino 😀) win the next two games, we will be on a massive high, then lose the next two games, be the joke of the premiership, need a new manager (argue about that) then beat a top four side.......repeat, repeat.

Wish we'd got Silva when we could. But i don't think Hughes will go until at least after the next good run of games. And thats only if we don't win any of them.

Anyone no how many we've sold so far Arnautovic was the main one but there was Walters, Whelan, and Bardsley too.

I can't see anything but a defeat, even if we looked like half a team I wouldn't fancy us, with the current shambles not a chance, Watford are looking good this season.

This one looks like a regulation away defeat to me, Watford will have a bit too much for us.

Yes they wasted chances when 2-1 up, but conceding 3 in 10 or so minutes from simple balls into the box from the wings is something to work on surely Crouching Tiger and Hidden Dioufy up front and bomb the bastards!

he'll probably go with: -
Jack BMI, Shawx, Kurt, Diouf, Fletch, Joe, Erik Shaq, Chippy, Jese
perhaps go back to 4-2-3-1
Geoff, Kurt, Ryan, Erik Fletch, Joe, Chippy, Shaq, Jese Diouf

Edit, also he needs to be played through the middle.

We need a back 4. Watford’s wide men will kill us if they start whipping crosses in or simply doing what Bournemouth did, attacking the space on the flanks with pace, while our ‘wing backs’ are caught upfield.

Edit, also he needs to be played through the middle. Wow - amazing what people see through different eyes. GCam gave the ball away v B'mouth so many times it was a joke. Time after time he would make an interception or receive a pass and then boot it aimlessly to no-one. I will bet you a £ to a pinch of shit that he gave the ball away more than any other Stoke player on Sat. (Edit: Pieters will run him close...) Cameron is a handy squad player but is simply not good enough for this level - if he is a player to rely on to get us out of the shit we are in trouble. Saying that, if he can (justifiably) be on the pitch in front of Wimmer that tells you all you need to know how that signing has gone so far...

He did but i think im used to that now , in all seriousness though, he did well winning the ball and looked the best of a bad bunch,I agree we shouldn't need him starting and im not his biggest fan but thats the mess we're in unfortunately.

I think he needs to try something different. I would go with a back four of Edwards (if fit), Indi, Shawcross, Tymon. I would put Zouma in midfield in place of Fletcher with Cameron alongside. Allen in font of these two with licence to roam (as he does anyway) and Shaqiri, Diouf and Chopper as the most forward three with Ramadan to replace Chopper if needs be. I would also have Verlinden and N'goy on the bench if fit.

I'd love to be optimistic but every shred of evidence suggests a routine away defeat.
No pressure for Leicester (with new manager) then.
Gulp.
