We’d sold just over 1,500 as of Wednesday and the guy in the ticket office said he’s almost certain you’ll be able to get tickets on the night...

I finish work at 6-30 so it's going to be a bit of a dash up the M6 to get there.

Deserve a medal watch that gutless spineless shit. Come on stoke 🤣 We’ve been waiting all season for it to “click”. It’s not looking like it will ever “click” but what if you don’t go and miss the “click” 🤣

If it clicks and I miss it I will still be happy because I will be at home nice and warm glad that we win but as expected that it won’t I can turn the radio off after the 3rd goal goes in for Wigan.😉

Right, bin that McClean up front nonsense, and put Afobe on to partner Vokes. Otherwise, I cannot see much changing in the starting XI.
There were signs they were starting to "get" what Jones wants on Saturday - chopping and changing every game won't help in that regard.

A goalie (who can save & kick) A right fullback (who can get up n down the pitch, defend & cross a ball) A centre back (who can defend & play a ball to a team mate without having to pass to a defensive “minder”) A right wing back (who can defend & get forward & pass to a team mate) A left wing back (who can defend & get forward & pass to a team mate) A left back (who can get up n down the pitch, defend & cross a ball) A right winger (who can take a man on, beat him & cross the ball) A right inside forward (who can shoot, help out in defence when needed) A centre forward (who will receive good service & deliver the goods) A left inside forward (who can shoot, help out in defence when needed) A left winger (who can take on a man, beat him & cross the ball) That is my kinda team, over to you NJ

---------Butland----------- Edwards--Batth--Indi---Bauer -----------Adam------------ -------Woods--Etebo-------- ----------Bojan------------ ------Berahino--Ince-------
• Vokes and Diouf Super-sub at half-time if they look disinterested. • If we don’t look like scoring switch to 352. • Try Bauer on the other wing. • Tell Bojan not to come so deep for the ball and act as a pivot. • Try woods a bit further up, he can always take over Adams responsibilities if he gets winded. • Try Ince up front in a free role. They'll be expecting Vokes, hit their back line hard with pace.
The only time we looked dangerous on Saturday was when Ince tried to beat the back line by himself. I still think Berahino and Ince have looked good together and could potentially form a good partnership.

for me, it's hard to overlook:
Bodger for that show pony Ince at 10
Charlie for Woods at the base
as well.

And can see him drafting in Charlie for Woods.
I'd also start Benny - but I'd drag his sorry arris off pronto if he doesn't show a bit more of the 15+ goals a season striker in the first 45.

Whoever is up front, if they don't score 3 in the first half I'd drop them and never include them in the squad again.

Not like squad number 45 because that was the number of International Caps that their boyhood hero won.

The kids 19. Not much worse than Clucas at left back who obviously no positional sense in the left back role. At least he offers width and speed. Dropping after a bad game won’t help his confidence. Plus this season is a complete right off now, we may as well experiment

Post by harlequin on Feb 12, 2019 16:07:30 GMT
Good point. Though Clucas doesn't have sense in any role from what we've seen so far.
