Had a sneaking suspicion Dwight Gayle might get the nod, said absolutely no one ever. Thought he might make changes, 3 game week but Gayle? Wouldn't be for me but I could perhaps see it if we want to press but then that doesn't particularly align with the other changes. Lets see how it goes. I always worry that the fanbase is understandably volatile and a lot of these selections don't help that but it worked out on Wednesday with JT at LB. Anyway, come on Stoke.

Where is Ryan Mmaee? Again I reckon it’s a case of not having 2 of the same striker on the bench. Mmaee and Gayle are similar in that they both play off the shoulder or spin inside. No point having the same player on the bench because if it isn’t working you aren’t going to swap like for like

Johnson played well in the last game. Other than putting in decent corners I think he's gash. He led the press well against Leeds.

Squad rotation, 3 games in quick succession. Interesting line up I get that … but when you’ve got 2 exciting players on the bench and you’re still playing 30+ year old Daniel Johnson after 2 games in a row you’re rotating it wrong… Not necessarily, He Said in his recent pre match interviews he'll see how leggy they're feeling before making any decisions. Burger and Mmaaee it's to be expected really English football and the intensity etc and then a few games in a short period of time What I don't want and I assume everybody else included is more injuries, or us coming out flat as a pancake with fatigue

I always think slating a team before a kick off is wrong but I've never been more confident of a defeat all season!

I was expecting changes after two hard fought wins in the space of a few days but I genuinely don't understand why he's starting Gayle.

Other than putting in decent corners I think he's gash. He led the press well against Leeds. Mint. If that's his best attribute then that rams home my point. I'd be absolutely gobsmacked if any other of our options in that position can't "lead the press".

Sorry but that’s fucked up why not keep a winning team . . . . because certain modern players aren’t capable or fit enough to play 3 times in a week.

Well it was a pretty big part of us looking the better team and keeping them quiet for the most part, so yeh mint.

When is the next QA with the manager ? I’d love us to try and get a question in for why junho and junior aren’t getting a match after junior has had such promising cameos and junhos last appearance gave us the assist for the win against bristol

The usual numptys who think they know what they are doing. You looked stupid after the win against Leeds and I sincerely hope you will look even more stupid after today. We have a squad of good players and we need to respect the manager's decisions regarding a squad of players who have all been working hard eg. Burger worked his socks off against Leeds and he will still be drained for today.

Sometimes you have to laugh or youd cry....... Plenty said the same when he played Thompson at left back. I've given up complaining as I tend to look stupid when we end up winning... I just know youre right. Gayle hatrick?

Contrary to popular belief I think Gayle with Haks and Leris either side is an interesting combination. Gayle is an intelligent player, we havnt used him.playing with decent players yet

I usually try and stay positive on seeing a team announcement.
But…..this looks like a car crash about to happen.
Hope I’m wrong and I’ll happily have this post flagged as me being a negative prick if we get anything at all here.
