Will certainly be a good barometer of exactly how close we are from being a genuine top 6 team. They are a good team, but certainly beatable. We normally play well against better opposition. It will be a tough match for sure, but certainly not one to fear.

Any score could happen tonight.
Its got a MON 1 point special written all over it though.
The biggest talking point is likely to be the fog.

Probably the best attacking team in the league but defensively very suspect.Brooks is the key man for them who creates everything so it’ll be interesting to see if anyone is assigned to him.

We could win this one, but also there’s a chance we could lose. There’s also a possibility of a draw.

MON has something up his sleeve. Pity it's only his arm.

They are a threat all across the front line. Brooks is quality, and I’m surprised he’s not still in the premier league, but Solanke and Stanislas are dangerous. I don’t see us being able to keep a clean sheet today. We haven’t scored more than one goal in a game since Norwich which was TEN games ago. On that basis alone I don’t fancy us at all tonight.

0-2 for me. Can’t see us scoring and Bournemouth are very good going forward.

In fact Clucas and Mikel looked so rusty they were actually liabilities out there.

Why anyone would want to start with Mikel and Clucas after Tuesday is a mystery. I think a 7.45 pm kick off on a Saturday evening is ridiculous. I would save Mikel to replace Powell later in the game. Powell and Allen up front with Cousins and Thompson in midfield. Brown and Tymon as wing backs. Back four of Collins, Souttar Shawcross and Smith.

I've been thinking about biting myself in the bollocks.
Normally of course, I'd get an immediate family member to do it for me.
Remember,if you haven't got a dog or a family, Stoke 3 Southerners 0

Ice/Snow/Fog. And the visitors changing shed is all froze up . . . . and the opposition bench heaters are also not working. Stoke's bench of course is largely ok as Vokes and Ince have been warming it. Everyone forgot they were there as they are now invisible most of the time.

Begovic to have a nightmare - Ok shot stopper but position & crosses - worse than Butland - Yes Brooks danger man - we need to pay Fletcher and Powell up front with Allen, Clucas, Mikel in midfield - not a good night to experiment with Verlinden conditions against

Bursik Collins Baht Souttar Tymon Brown Allen cousins. clucas Powell Fletcher Would be mine but I think it might be Bursik Collins. Souttar Chester Smith. Tymon or McLean Allen. Mikel clucas Powell Brown I'd be surprised if he picks a midfield that can't yet last a full game, it would be moronic.

Bursik Collins Souttar Chester Clucas Cousins Mikel Brown Powell Verlinden Fletcher Never going to happen and in an Ideal world Cluas would be on the bench too, but at least it wouldn't be the entire midfield needing to be replaced at some point in the game.
