Only an idiot wouldn’t leave Smallbone out…. I absolutely agree. With 27 games played he is averaging 6.5 in the ratings. In about 2000 minutes of football he has scored 2 goals and got 0 assists. He's got AT LEAST 1 more goal in him by May. Only an idiot would leave him out.

Sarkic Sterling Tuanzabe Wilmott Fox Pearson Laurent Baker Campbell Brown Celina No Smallbone in the 18? Just about possible - but would be a bit of a bold call for him, wouldn't it? Very true

Have you noticed that the 2 clowns who ask questions after Ange are never included in the official video of the presser😊I mean to bring Ryan Woods up in pre match presser against Huddersfield is just bizzare That Dave Lee used to wind MON and Jones up as well if I remember correctly. I'm staggered they still let him in because he doesn't half ask absolute bollocks.

They often include them in the official videos though, speaks volumes todays weren’t. This was excellent listening though, he showed his arse a bit there. He says how does every team do it but that’s the point, Stoke haven’t. We’ve seen dozens of players come and underperform badly and it’s about time people asked questions as to why.

Didn't like that observation did he? Poor answer to what was a pretty honest assessment and something that has been on the lips of supporters for quite some time re. the form of players post signing.

He's always got the Brown RWB card up his sleeve. Sarkic, Sterling, Pearson, Tuanzebe look definites. So it'd be one from Celina and Smallbone - and there's only one winner there you'd think? Which begs the question, what was the fucking point in signing Celina Saturday was exactly the type of game I assumed he'd be signed for, at home vs a team with no intention of winning the game and he gave him 3 minutes. Celina started the previous 2 games - he's not going to play 90 minutes week in week out, especially this early. I expect him to be more heavily involved tomorrow, whether that's a start or 30 minutes if we need a spark.

One of him and Smallbone has to miss out & chances are it won’t be Smallbone.

Very poor answer to a perfectly reasonable question. The way he tries to bully people is the reason I want him gone quick smart. Well that and his shit results.

If Pearson starts I’d also be tempted to start Tezgel. The place needs a spark, and these two would give it, especially a home grown player up front. It may be grossly unfair to put that on a 16 year old though

No he didn't. He didn't say they would be starting. He said they'd be in the squad, which is what we're talking about. Sorry, not clear.

No he didn't. He didn't say they would be starting. You can only have 5 in the matchday squad and he's said them 2 are in the squad. Understood

Much more informative that the usual Smash & Nicey routine we get of the edits posted by the club.

I can’t stand Alex Neil but it wasn’t really a perfectly fair question. “Started well…” is something of a stretch when it comes to Ryan Woods. He was absolutely toss, moved around like he’d got a broom stuck up his arse and his only decent game in a stoke shirt was his debut. Thereafter he was useless.

I actually agree it’s a bloody daft irrelevant question but the response Is daft too , he could have laughed it off , said it’s nowt to do with me etc but to turn into a pessimism lecture was paranoia , of course people are pessimistic ,results and performances which were dire pre his arrival for 6 years hsve actually deteriorated what’s he expect .

Surprised you’ve lasted this long. He’s absolutely fucking useless isn’t he? Not sure. Did well at Norwich, Sunderland and less so at Preston. To be fair he has inherited a poor squad, but some of the decisions/tactical stuff is a bit bemusing. Double sub in 88th minute Saturday was mad. He certainly talks a good game in the pressers. I think Christmas time is time to fairly judge unless it goes completely tits up. Problem is , who replaces him?

Sarkic Sterling Tuanzebe Wilmot Fox Pearson Laurent Baker Campbell Gayle Celina
Bonham Jagielka Macari Thompson Tezgel Brown Reddin/Griffiths
Can’t see Smallbone being left out the squad but we can’t leave Celina out of this one surely, in a game where his creativity would be needed.

Does anyone seriously expect Tuanzebe to start tomorrow?

Pearson? Tuanzebe? The half-fit hopefuls who are gonna have to play all the remaining matches of the season in order to save AN from being sacked?

Their strength tomorrow night is their right winger Joseph Hungbo,very pacy and tricky player so I’d imagine Sterling may play up against him From the little bit I’ve seen of him he will cause us some problems

As above but Tezgel won't start. I think he might you know. Perfect time to put in a curve ball for Huddersfield to consider.

This, as we all know is a massive game tonight. Let’s hope all the players are up for it, and the manager gets his tactics/ selection right.
We’ll win 1-0.
