Don't get the Bonham selection at all. He's very poor Chopping and changing keepers is very strange. I'd be very pissed off if I was Bursik. Doesn't make sense.

So, we're back to the wing-back formation, with FOX as a wing-back!!!
I think the tactic here is to bemuse the opposition!!! 🤔
Certainly works on us!!! 🤨

Not over surprised, we played all the flair and attacking on Wednesday, and lost to Luton fucking Town at home.

Ridiculous to drop Bursik.
How he can take any blame for recent goals (except maybe the Forest equaliser) is beyond me.
He’s had a shambolic setup at times in front of him, with plenty of mistakes from like likes of Bellis, Tymon & Wilmott.
I have no idea what the plan is anymore. Fox has been a disaster in every game he’s played this season.

If there’s one thing these team line up threads prove week in week out it’s that it’s virtually impossible to predict how well the set ups will work ! People invariably end up eating their words 😏

Well he had to do something different after Wednesdays debacle. Bursik hasn't covered himself with glory recently. He has been nowhere near the last four goals against us. He has also dropped two of the worst passers in Wilmot and Tymon. Maybe we can keep the ball better.

He's finally realised that Bursik is not good enough, Wilmot isn't a full back and neither is Tymon! That’s a shocking side, 1 point for dropping Wilmot, he’s shite!!!!!

Why do we need Fletcher AND Maja? Why not DWP over Fletcher? Because he’s gone for muscle not finesse. We were battered to pieces by Luton and he said himself after the match we aren’t tough enough to win ugly.

“First and foremost the performance was disappointing. We were a bit flat first half and second half we were really poor. I don't think we expected to see that. "We were great at Coventry and in recent weeks I think we've as been for a long time and that was the most disappointing thing. Andy Cousins tells Radio Stoke: "I think there was a different feeling after the game because there was huge disappointment from ourselves. We got sucked into a game that Luton wanted to play, which was basically like a rugby game, that we just can't play with the dressing room we have. We got bullied. We put ourselves in that scenario. "We've worked hard on how to play that type of game. A lot of teams are playing like that against us, especially when they come to Stoke. Boot you, kick you, go long, fight and scrap for what goes forward. "I think the worst thing when you sit in the changing room afterwards is to feel like you've been beaten up because you have to carry huge pride in that“ To admit your team isn't up to a fight/battle/whatever is a bit embarrassing, thats what half of this league is.

Like all of you, I'm baffled. The Bursik one is really puzzling. But I hope we all have egg over our faces at 5 o' clock. Should be interesting. OS.

On the other hand I thought he'd gone mental on seeing the line up at Hull so who knows eh ?
A lot rests on Powell and Baker though.

I actually believe it was right to drop Philogene-Bedace. He’s very quick, he does a lot of tricks, and fun to watch, but he’s created nothing and the opposition have worked out how to neutralize him. I am a bit surprised Wright-Philips has not been playing but MON must seen something in training or on the pitch he doesn’t like. Contrary to popular belief he is not stupid and has got us playing well. He’s been let down by stupid mistakes that have cost us 7 points in the last three games. The margins in this league are very slim. If not for those mistakes we’d be two points off the playoffs.
edit. He had to make big changes, if for no reason than to send a message to the players that their performances in those three games wasn’t good enough and it’s time to give someone else a chance.

Even if we win i just hate seeing Chester anywhere near the team. Waste of space, might as well put a 11year old kid there.

Return of the back three, not at all surprised he has gone back to his comfort blanket. About as uninspiring as it gets. Damage limitation,and we'll probably still concede 3 😎
