We all know what happens when Stoke fans are confident! Does anyone genuinely think we'll lose or is everyone fancying the win? I'm going Huddersfield HT/Stoke FT. UTP.

I'm not sure confidence is necessarily the mood today, more a togetherness to force our will upon the result like the early days in the Prem.
GO ON STOKE !!!

Interesting stuff on Talksport from Dean Ashton. Discussing Lambert's falling out with Ireland at Villa. Ashton said Lambert's known for being ruthless, known for changing his teams regularly. "At Norwich they never knew if they'd make the match day team, I know some of the lads didn't like that." Interesting to see the starting line up. Go on Stoke. Scotch in the hipflask, lamb shank when I get back. To the bus and beyond! Sounds exactly what our overpaid primadonnas need to be honest. If players want to sulk they can go play for some other team. We need some fight and anger back.

I always think we will lose.
I am a Stoke fan.
Even 5-0 up at Wembley against Bolton I was biting my nails.
That is what being a Stoke fan does to you.

I am positively hopefully we can grind out a result. Need to believe we can do better and anything new has to be better than the last 18 months.

You're right they are over paid primadonna's who might have given up playing for Hughes/the Stoke cause, but do you think the right vibe now would be to introduce uncertainty as a man management tool?? Every player should have competition for a place but for a squad down the league and down in confidence surely a more transparent, steadying hand is necessary?

Our most important game in our Premier League history.
We simply have to win.

1st goal today more important than ever. If we score first we can push on, concede first and it will feel like nothing has changed.

I should do, but for some reason I’m optimistic......is it because contemplating defeat means relegation looking pretty certain?

Because in this league 3-4 points is a vast, yawning chasm of a gap between you and the next team. It’s a win and a draw, not easy when you’re as shit as we are.

I think we will win today (3-1) but its not the end of the dream if we don't ... yes, the table is so tight that every point matters and the pressure is only going to get worse, week after week with about ten teams scrapping for survival. But points (ideally 6+) from our next 3 games will make a huge difference. So even if its not a win today I will keep the faith.

West Brom didn't win for 20 games and are yet a couple of points from safety.

I assume Adam and Fletcher are there to translate the manager’s instruction from Glaswegian into English.

Hopefully never again

No negativity today please guys and gals. Full blooded support, if we lose we lose but we do our jobs. Haven't been this excited for a game in a while, I intend on doing some long term damage to the owd vocal chords today.
