Stating the obvious,I would settle for a draw after their recent performances but there is no reason why we can't go Forest and win. I just hope MON sets us up similar as the Swansea game and has a go at them.We look impressive when we attack. GGGOOOAAARRRNNN STOKE. Would only take a draw v Fulham in this league myself, certainly not Forest despite their form. I think we'll cause them massive problems and no reason as you say

I reckon it is going to be extremely difficult for Forest's players to back up, after going through two tough games, in only three days.

I’d be over the moon with a win, happy with a draw n clean sheet but really want a decent performance no matter what the outcome

A totally personal and probably irrelevant comment, but a little strange. Where I go in the Cotswolds there is Jackdaws Castle, the Racing Stable base of Trainer Jonjo O Neill at Ford. Why there should be any link I don't know, unless it's because of the "O Neill", but amongst all the plethora of new names at Stoke, I have developed a tendancy to call Josh Maja, "Jonjo". Quite short and snappy, but it works for me.

1-2 Maja Brown Goarrrnnnn Stoke Wouldn't be shocked to see that happen. Wouldn't swap our team for theirs. Will be disappointed if we take nothing , just on a good run and we're well capable of ending it.

I’d be happy with a draw today against a team on fire. Might suit us more being away.

I think the biggest obstacle we’ll have to overcome is their shithousery. Copper has seemingly taken his box of tricks from Swansea over to them and taught them to surround the ref at every opportunity. We’ve struggled against teams that are good at the “dark arts” in recent times.

Stoke win is 13/5 on Skybet, which given we’ve been better away than at home seems pretty generous.

I had a tickle at 8-1 on us to win by two goals or more.

Forest are one of the form teams in the division since Cooper arrived and beat 2 big Premier League teams easily in the cup. A draw would be superb but I just feel they will edge it with being at home 1-0.

I just hope the team give us a good game and something to get excited about for this final run in. IF this has to be one of the 3 games we *can* lose (statistically speaking) then so be it. But lets have a good game of football and take it to them, then who knows what can happen. With that said... 3-1 Stoke. Goaaaarnnnnnnnn!

A sell out apparently so they'll be backed by getting on for 30000 fans. Big test for our youngsters and for the ref in a hostile atmosphere.

The team that started v Swansea with Maja in for Campbell and Brown on the right will do for me.
With the talent we have at the top end of the pitch now and the number of points we feasibly need for top 6 it makes no sense to play it tight and hope for a point.
I'd rather we go for it now and see where it takes us.
