The Duffy situation is odd. Why loan him is the question I asked myself the other day. Ince again... As the last team sheet at least its consistently baffling, I suppose. Just hope there's no hope to Pardew now. Same situation as Davies I'd imagine in that he doesn't like what he's seen of them in training. He's fallen out with Davies hasn't it? The Duffy thing is mental - what a fucking waste.

If he is to go down, he may as well have gone down fighting, with Powell and Duffy trying to create, two strikers up front and a right back who is not a centre back. That XI encapsulates all that has gone wrong with Jones' tenure and why he has to go. What if we win? I'll be surprised but absolutely bloody delighted! Won't you?

I'd say there is potentially creative players in the team. But Badou, who has the potential to be playmaker, is played as midfield anchor. However vs Forest he was everywhere, so I'm hoping he will perhaps act a deep lying playmaker. With Badou behind him Etebo may also take the mantle upon him. Despite this I'm hoping Powell comes on early or at the start of the second half. Given that he virtually called Powell a fairy in his last interview I wouldn’t be holding my breath for his early appearance Woods back in the squad no sign of Collins, I’ll give him one thing he’s consistently inconsistent Is Collins not still suspended? Which interview was that?

It's an absolute garbage 11.
We'll probably win at a canter and our geniuses upstairs will keep him.

How do you get Powell and Duffy in the same team though? Federici CCV Batth Bruno Clucas Badou Etebo Duffy Powell Ince Gregory Width and creativity! I'm not convinced Duffy is a winger at this level tbh.

How can Jones drop Allen?
Allen does actually perform very well with the Welsh team.
I became unflabergasted when that penny dropped.

These are the half a dozen players he wanted to build a side round,
Allen ohohm Ince ohoh, McClean hoho, Clucas ohoh, Baathe ohoh, Missing Butland.
From Frank Sinatra And now the end is near.
Hollywood filmimg a new Three Stooges movie Ince, Mcclean and Allen starring.

That is a truly uninspiring line up Theres a fundamental problem here and its this:- its a truly uninspiring line up no matter who he picks these-days that is the real problem So you could have managers on a bloody conveyor belt makes no difference if the squad is shit and you have no means of changing it anytime soon.

I don’t care if we win this or not, this team selection sums up the madness that Jones is. It should be his obituary at Stoke. F.ing speechless yet again. Batshit mental.

Me neither, but he has not bothered to sign/keep anyone who can play really well wide right (Ince? Hardly, right now - I have only put him on the left to keep McClean out and would much rather have Verlinden there), so he can try to drift in from there and create.

Probable scenario Stoke take the lead Huddersfield attack the Stoke’s left flank, cross at the back post, header, 1-1 Huddersfield attack the Stoke’s left flank, cross at the back post, header, 1-2 Game over

Based solely on McClean at LB he needs to be sacked before we kick off
Also the rest of the team looks woeful

I don't get the Duffy situation. I know he's 86 years old, but he came with rave reviews yet can't get into this dog's dinner of a side. Nowt makes sense to me anymore. Never done anything since Mercy! Past it.

I think it might be 3 at the back with McClean LWB and Clucas RWB.
