Hoever in for Pearson my only change with Thompson moving to CM. None of the subs did themselves any favours in relation to there cameos yesterday and will weaken us. Agreed they were all very poor with Baker the worst

I hope it is a good game, sad to say we will lose but hopefully we make a good attempt.

I prefer Thompson midfield and Hoever left back than Pearson in midfield.

We may have a better chance if We don't play Hoever,Pearson, & Johnson.

I don't want to see Baker start in midfield - so probably going to have to be Hoever and Tchamadeu at full-back, freeing up Thompson to play alongside Burger.
Bonham Hoever Rose McNally Tchamadeu Burger Thompson Vidigal Bae Haks Mmaee
Got a feeling he'll rest one of Bae, Haks or Vidders to start Johnson though, which isn't a great prospect.
Squad really starting to look a bit stretched now - and it'll be worse after today when Tchamadeu goes.
Ideally need a left-back in this week.
Wonder if he might chuck Wilmot in instead of Rose too?

I would imagine Wilmot will get some minutes from the bench today.

Was there a pre-match press conference?
I can't find a link.
Cheers.

Thought exactly the same re junho he was layed out on the floor at full time after giving everything. I would rest him for this one but we don’t want Johnson back in 🤷‍♀️ Thompson, Burger and Baker Or Sol would be better Johnson is a good pro and will run all day but he's just not up to this level anymore, or at least not very often He's had two or 3 decent games but mostly just not got it If Bae is knackered, that would be my three as well. When does Junior leave? If he’s already gone, then Hoever would need to be at right back and Thompson at left back, right? In which case, Pearson would still need to start. I suppose that Leris could play right back.

I feel today is quite a pivotal game, a really good chance to set down a benchmark, get fans onside with a good positive performance. Play some exciting football would be the icing on the cake.

Just realised the ref is James Bell, the ref from the infamous Southampton game. One of the worse referee performances I can remember. Refereed Stoke 2 games so far this season and give us. 9 yellows! Let’s hope for better luck today.

This is a big game I only hope we do not try to defend for 90 minutes to retain a point. Just hope we try attack as the best defence and if we lose we lose giving it everything.
That said come on Stoke beat the buggers!

Might it be the 3421 again?
Edit - looks like Hoever at LB and Junior right, Thompson in midfield, which is correct.
