Proper potential banana skin.
Wycombe lost one in seven.
Goalkeeper crisis.
Missing other key players.
Supporters back for Wycombe.
The kind of game Stoke have spent decades perfecting how to lose.
MON Stoke is different though. We’re far from perfect. A definite work in progress with the emphasis on work. But we’re unrecognisable from the rabble of twelve months ago.

They've got to be the worst outfit to have played at this level in a decade, if not longer. Fucking atrocious side.

Considering we have 5 players that would walk into that team to come back in not too long we cant complain.
We've lost to 4 teams above us, but none of them have done better against the rest of the league than us.
Well poised.
Big game Boro. I'd take a point now.

A point would do after the three tonight. |

From a technical perspective possibly but they’re nigly scrappy bastards who are hard to beat, might just 1-0 there way to safety this season. Given their budget and the size of the club that would be a fantastic achievement |

Proper insurance for Butler street? Beg Matthews to stay till at least after Sheffield United in 1946? Don't sign Shilton? Sack Hughes end of 2017? Sack Barker pre POMO? |

Closely followed by not sacking TP. |

Still level with Waddo. I like these comparisons March, but I fear that TP’s 07/08 might start to go past us soon. It was at this stage in that season where we went on a run of 2 defeats in 19 games, amassing 39 points in the process. |

Keeping Stan is tempting, but since its before my time, then either:
Persuade Osgood to join Hudson or Feed the '74 team a calcium rich diet.

Delay World War 2 until 1948?
Mathews in his prime and most of the 1947 team too.
We would have won the league ever year like Huddersfield did in the 30’s.

We were fine with Osgood who said Big John couldn’t score with head. I’ll never forget him kneeling down and heading the ball over the line to prove him wrong. He’s Stoke’s all time top scorer by a mile (36 goals more than Steele) and will likely never be caught. |

You’d take a point at home to a side below us in the league? What am I missing here The fact that I'm not that confident for this one? Well you mention bring at home and being above them as strong justification for more confidence. I mean home advantage is hardly what it was and Boro are 1 point behind us. They will see themselves as 2 points off the playoffs, 4 points off top. But my concern is the injuries and particularly how toothless we look. We are missing quality players and Fletcher particularly is key. And because Fletcher is out and the games tight, Campbell has now played 3 full games in a week. He usually barely completes a game never mind 3 in a week. And three more big games this coming week. Obviously I want us to get all three points. I also want us not to lose ground while we have so many key players are out injured. |
