Why has Adam Davies hardly featured so far??? His time will come he seemed quite good at the weekend.

Based on performances what weve seen so far it's going to be: Butland Smith Ryan Baath McLean Woods Clucas Allen Powell Vokes Afobe Etebo will be rested until end of Aug Only two of the new signings starting? They’re not that good!

We seem to be heading in the right direction and Vokes seems to have found some goalscoring form to take into the new campaign, which is nice. His ratio last season was ok tbf. He was just massive and that held everything else back. What impressed me last season were all 3 of his goals were totally different. He showed he’s got a few different strings to his bow. I fully expect 15+ from him this season.

Nothing else he did tbh but if he’s scoring like he should be then I don’t care! No one will ever convince me though that the best use of this lot isn’t a 4231 though with the 3 getting very close to Vokes. But I need to get over that....

On performance so far yeah. Woods better than Cousins JM better than Ward Afobe better than Gregory Ryan better than Lindsay Davies hasn't played.

Had a world cup last year and will not have had a break since. We should have enough midfield players to give the youth a break in my view

We’ve had the squad for 4-2-3-1 for the last 5 years but we’ve discussed it to death and nothings gonna change soon

Yeah but 15 cameras and all that shit about the club that’s clearly shit but let’s them get away with murder. Northwich Vics hase highlights of their friendly at Sandbach on YouTube. But we shouldn’t expect anything of Stoke.

Jones is still banging the Badou drum in his post match comments
“You mix the teams up and find out about people and so on. We’ve got a few missing in terms of Peter (Etebo) and Incey (Tom Ince) and Badou (Ndiaye) also so we’ve still got a few to add to the squad and we want to add one or two if we can”

Strange as the Wrexham commentators seemed quite impressed by him. Wrexham commentators are obviously experts on Stoke No but I'm sure they've got eyes and can see what he's doing on the pitch

Didn’t listen to commentary, did Gregory play and if so how did he do? Looks like Afobe has gotten himself fitter but I’d be a bit concerned if Gregory is making Afobe look good!

Gregory just looked a bit meh so far, I think he needs to understand the role a bit more. Benik does look leaner and fitter.

Why dont you do Stoke's for free, you talk a good job about it.

And two pre season friendly games in. The detailed analysis of fucking nothing for the criminally insane. Love it. And the point being- Stoke City remain a massive and totally unknown quantity for the coming season, lets just hope theres an upturn ahead.

Batth reminds me of Bruno. He's properly average but because he came in at a time we looked awful he was made to look better than he is. I've got nowt against him but I'd definitely pick Ryan ahead of him if we're looking at a partner for Lyndsey. Not Collins? Bayern will be after you.

That goal at home, before he was injured, where he did a back heel, was quality. I think he's nailed on for 15 goal this season.

After seeing Powell the other night I’m really excited to see him play for us, you can see from the highlights he’s already starting to knit so much together for us.
