Leaking teamsheets again are we? Only at Stoke. It’s only 1 player pal, wait til you hear the others. Is that you saying you know, and it’s the footballing version of a chemical castration?

This will surprise you.... he’s actually starting tomorrow in place of woods. This won't surprise me if Woods has been dropped and the team has been leaked.

This might be a crazy idea (more out of desperation because Batth is so wank), but how about trying Cousins in central defence, alongside either Indi or CCV?
He has physical presence and height, so maybe he can get in opposition's faces more and allow Indi/CCV to distribute the ball. Some momentum in getting the ball forward in turn brings the best out of Woods, whose best games for us tend to be when our defenders are switched on.

As we all know Jonny Depp, recently seen in Longton, playing darts and having a pint. This close to window, must be nailed on. Iron Man in midfield and, allegedly, lightening down a line (oops THE Line) Right age (past it) Needs a payday (spent it) Be great on Britain’s got Big Brother Talent in a House in Essex with Ball Room Dancing Housewives (been done for previous) All the boards wet dreams in one.

I like Woods but in a midfield of Clucas and Allen it doesn't work.

Cousins is one of those 'players' who make me think I should have had more faith in myself back in the day. I was pretty ordinary to be honest, but that seems to be a reasonable benchmark these days?

Well around the time he started so well for us I happened to sit next to a Shrewsbury fan on a plane, I raved about Woods and he was very, very surprised saying he thought his passing was very average and he that he was well known to just pass back and sideways. He told me I'd soon see what a very average player and poor passer of the ball he was. It's all turned out just as he said. He won player of the year twice at Shrewsbury and made the PFA League 2 team of the year and just missed out on League 2 Player of the year with them. He also won the awards the fans voted for. That's before we even count what he did at Brentford. I think that's a selective assessment on his part in truth being as though he got the nickname "Ginger Pirlo" when he was at Shrews. Plenty of shrews fans I know really rated him.

Isn't Cousins a converted full back, converted by the messiah, not JC, himself? Gained international honours in younger age groups? Stick him at right back! Goes to google............ What's his first name?

Think the midfield, if it's a 3 has to be Etebo, Badou and Clucas, if a 2 then Badou with Etebo/Clucas with Powell playing in front of them. Woods is not what we need at the moment, we need a big presence who will bully the other team, win it and look to get straight at the opposition.

Etebo isn't playing, he played (well) for U23's last night after O'Neil questioned his form in training.

Matt Sandoz saying he's heard a whisper of "surprise team news that will raise one or two eyebrows" so whether that adds credence to the talk of Cousins, who knows?
