There will be some fast attacking play from that side.

Can't make sense of that. Vokes lone striker, Duffy at the tip of the diamond. An extra centreback as well as a defensive midfielder. Or is a flat three midfield with Duffy up top? I think it's more a 3421 myself (with Clucas and Duffy the '2'). Will be interesting to see just how far forward Duffy sits. Looks more like a preseason friendly lineup with CCV and Duffy not having played much but making their first starts. Intrigued to say the least! Duffy will drift wide Vokes as a traditional #9 McLean the other side.

From the way Rory read the team out, if it is a diamond, it'll be Woods sitting.
Federici Edwards Collins CCV Lindsay McClean Woods Cousins Clucas Duffy Vokes

It's very close to the bestest formation ever, the magnificent 3-5-2. I think we shall administer a sound thrashing.

Crosses from the flanks tonight & clucas to push on to support duffy who can play off vokes. Predicted multiple changes and can see the reasoning in it I wanted 3 CBs or 2 holders, but am surprised to see both at the same time! Duffy and the wing backs have to play blinders. With 3 CBs surely you only need one holder, so maybe Cousins will hold with Woods right, Clucas left. I think it'll be 1 holding midfielder. Could be Woods or Cousins with the other on the right as you say

Maybe Clucas is left wing back, McClean up front with Vokes, and Duffy playing just behind them? Still a bit diamondy That's what it looks like to me.

From the way Rory read the team out, if it is a diamond, it'll be Woods sitting. Federici Edwards Collins CCV Lindsay McClean Woods Cousins Clucas Duffy Vokes If that's the case, maybe three at the back to give woods a more free role directing play and the extra centreback doing the grunt work.

Surely it's a 3-5-2 by the way they've presented it in the image?
McClean and Edwards wing backs, Clucas, Woods and Cousins in the middle with Duffy playing off Vokes.

Hopefully the diamond evolves!
3 at the back to accommodate our plentitude of CBs?
3511?
Might be a better system for us
We'll soon find out!

As someone who’s been critical I see this as a positive.
I wanted to see Edwards and glad to see Collins get time and I’m not impressed with the 442 diamond so am happy to see what happens.

I thought he'd said Cousins is better defensively and Woods is better at passing?

Bit disappointing either Etebo or Ndye start , suggests both starting v Derby is a non starter

Fucking Jesus wept how can so many stoke fans be negative before a ball is kicked, you either hate yer lives or get a thrill out of moaning!! There’s definitely a good number who want us to lose. I can’t believe what our fan base has become. The club can’t do any right I’m done peoples eyes. If we were to win tonight and played well there would be still negatives from folk.
