If we lose we lose but it doesn't matter, this is what we want! Well it does matter. But I get what you mean.

When you see that it honestly makes you wonder what was going on inside Alex Neil’s head. There's a few too many people proclaiming this to be a brilliant line up before a ball has been kicked. Usually when this happens we get a beating . Looks decent on paper but let's see how it works on the pitch. There's still plenty of question marks over many of those players and Watford will be a big step up from Birmingham.

Great to see Wilmot back in the squad Bayernoatcake dislikes this. Not at all. He’s a bench player.

I think we are in trouble Tom Ince is on the bench

What's the problem with Gooch. I think he's the real miss from the named team. Not too bothered about any of the others missing and great to see young Sidibe on the bench and welcome back Ben Wilmot

Jolic and Lowe on the bench. You love to see it.

Watford score goals, but do concede them as well.
We are bound to gift a goal or two so I think the strategy is:-
We'll just have to score more than them.

That's the line up of a coach that has taken one look at the Transfer Dong and thought "Christ, that's a big un. Let's have a go myself..." <Unzips> Good luck Steve. Ste, Steven, or Shoey (of course)🤣. Defo not Steve! Very happy with his selection.

Every time Neil’s teams came out it felt like the opposite of what every sane fan wanted or what to us seemed common sense. This feels different, like he’s somehow paying attention!?

I think a big plus here is (and what will buy him some grace at least) he’s picking teams similar to what we all would.
So if it doesn’t work automatically we as fans will be like (oh what happened there, I’d have picked that team)
Yet with Neil always felt like he picked mad sides to prove his ‘greatness’.
Not sure if that makes sense, but hopefully you get what I mean.

Man brought Haks on for Gooch when we were already 2 up the other night. Then he goes and drops this eleven away from home. Apart from my human humiliation cage, he's the best Christmas present I've had this year.

Just to add a bit of balance, I think that this is a really poor squad of players, as bad as we've had for many years.
However, having said that, SS is definitely a breath of fresh air, and hopefully he'll get a tune out of them.
Come on Stoke, prove me wrong..

Sohail: Why Haks........ Cav: Flair! 😙
I don't want to tempt fate but their home record isn't great! If we can score 3 we may get a draw!

Even if we lose I love this. The manager needs to see what these players can do so come the January window he can start filling the gaps. Come on Stoke

Holy fucking shit. Let’s go! Burger captain over Pearson is interesting Not massively, not seen anything from Pearson to suggest he’s captain material to be honest. Burger has started like a house on fire under Schumacher so it makes sense!

However, having said that, SS is definitely a breath of fresh air, and hopefully he'll get a tune out of them. Come on Stoke, prove me wrong.. Can't agree with your first sentence. I think there is a lot of talent which has lacked coordination, direction, and inspiration to actually exhibit itself. They are certainly a younger squad generally looking to improve their careers, not getting to the end of them, with a few exceptions. Agree with your last 2 sentences.

Best team I think he could go with. Just hope Haks buys in to the chasing back and doesn’t neglect his defensive duties.
