Did you know you’ve averaged around 22 posts per day on this forum for 15 years? And 90% of them were absolute bollox. Did you know I don’t give a flying fuck? Incessantly battering your opinion down people’s throats isn’t particularly healthy.

Oh for sure. Just don’t get the ottness for a bloke who so far his best attribute is running. Like him or not he's started well for us and good to see surely and If we can get 3 or 4 players into double figures will do no harm. Wasn't crazy about Surridge joining us but done well so far and impressed for me. He’s been ok. The cup games are nothing games. I think in the league he’s been better than I expected for sure but still mainly a grafter. I want to see more from him.

We have 3 better ones 🤷♂️ Go on then, I’ll ask. Who are the 3? Campbell Sima Fletcher He could overtake Fletch but been more happy with Fletch’s all round play so far. The other two are pretty obvious I think? Brown a long way back in 5th. Which is excellent.

Scoring in a friendly means little, yep apart from the fact that he's doing it fairly regularly in all games which can only be good. I think he'll get us a dozen league goals

It’s only a matter of opinions of course, but I would start Surridge instead of Fletcher. Fletcher’s experience would be handy off the bench, and against a tiring defense he’d be quick enough. I know Bayern likes his link up play, and that is his strength as he’s far from a clinical finisher, but honestly in the four games he’s started I thought he was decent against Reading, poor against Brum, missed a sitter early in the scond half against Forest ( which would have eased the pressure that was building up), and was really poor against Fulham. Plenty to offer from the bench, butI’m not sure his form has been that great to justify starting.

Fletcher really came alive second half v Forest, instrumental that day However he was anonymous at Fulham Surridge in, yes

A striker with the strengths of both Fletcher and Surridge would be a superb centre forward. I’m hoping Surridge will learn much from Fletcher this season.

No idea what bayern's beef with Surridge is, but it'll be one of: a) He declared him to be crap before even seeing him play, and now doesn't want to lose face (see Adam Davies) b) He's taking the rightful place of a schoolboy striker he saw score in the under 14s. c) He's not the type of striker he plays in his Champions league-winning Stoke team on FM21, so therefore doesn't like him. It's obviously option A. He was slating him on here before he'd kicked a ball. With every goal you can feel the anger he feels. How sad must it be to dig trenches so deep, you can't actually enjoy watching your team play? And now he's telling us Forrester is better than Beckenbauer on another thread. There's probably another good 100,000+ posts in these bad boys.

I don’t think he’s a flat track bully overly. Just average. 4th choice this season hopefully. And we have 3 better strikers who I want to see more of. Did you know you’ve averaged around 22 posts per day on this forum for 15 years? And 90% of them were absolute bollox. 😂😂😂😂😂👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Time will tell! Yeah it will and he may eclipse Fletcher but he hasn’t so far this season imo. Fletcher’s all round play is still so much better than him or Brown. Fletch is a very good player, but he hasn't really looked prolific in front of goal so far this season. Brown is Brown, but at least he has improved from last season where he looked like Bambi on ice for most of the time. Despite of this he doesn't look like a natural finisher. I'm very excited to see what our new striker can do, and with Ty back in a not too distant future there is real competition for the places up front. Even Ince has done well when called upon so far. Exciting times ahead I think!

Here's my two cents worth. Fletcher is better at holding up the ball and a better header, which means he's more useful at defending set pieces. Surridge is much quicker and a much better poacher. In theory, they should work well together, but the one time it was tried it was a flop.

Yeah right! You like Ince who can’t even graft and being a bit average would be an improvement! Ince is a better footballer and if Surridge does as well as Ince in his career then he’s done ok 👍 what has Ince done , maybe I mist it

With you on the league goal thing but id he gets us 10-15 be ok and think he will I hope he does but I’m not convinced he will. Maybe 10. Sort of hope he doesn’t get the chance tbh too. I want to see Campbell and Sima a lot. That’s enough internet for me today.

Fulham must be a seriously good team. They were superb on Saturday Their fans said best they have played since Jokanovic was manager They also said we were the best team they have played so far I work with a Fulham season ticket holder who funnily enough said exactly the same thing

Sima. How on earth would you know what he’s like. Like every other Stoke fan you’d never heard-of him till yesterday No but does that matter? He’s come here to play. He’s come here on the back of scoring at a higher level than what we’re at. And he’s come hopefully in short to mid term to form a partnership with Campbell that gets us promotion.

He’s scored 2 goals against League One sides and 2 in a friendly and people are talking like we’ve signed Geoff Hurst. It’s very strange.

Why are people so defensive re Surridge?
I don’t get it.
I’ve literally said he’s ok.
Probably 4th choice when everyone is fit.
There’s literally nothing controversial there.
It’s very strange. He’s done nothing for us of note and people are defending him like he’s some hero. Not just an average striker we’ve signed who has a lot to prove and so far hasn’t done anything really.

Surridge is so overrated on here. He’s done fuck all 😂 Not sure he's over rated. He is what he is. A player who will probably get into double figures and we really need possibly 4 of those to give us a decent chance of being in the leading pack this season and Surridge could so far on what we've seen, do that. Cresswell was no world beater but played a massive role in our promotion season, Mama also. Give him a chance
