Superb goals, great last ditch defending and fantastic attitude Edit He'll probably get sent of next week

The bloke has always had magic in his feet. Some of the stick he's had is frankly staggering. This. There is some serious back tracking going on in this thread. Is he good enough for captain yet .

He's hit form. He'll be catching flies with chop sticks next

Just remember the 3 of us who kept the faith in Charlie from the start and were banging on about the need to sign him starting in 2009-2010.

With our forwards not being able to score in a brothel with £50 notes stuffed in their boxers we've relied on Charlie this season to carry that goal threat and his general play has improved too. A switch seemed to click 'on' during the last few months of last season and his attitude since then has been fantastic.

I am guilty of knocking him earlier this season. I have now changed my opinion and think he is a great asset and playing out of his skin.
There are rumours Newcastle were after him in January to replace Cabaye. I'm glad Stoke kept him and with Whelan on a good day they are proving very powerful.

His quality has always been there but now he's been given the role and the shirt we are now seeing the benefits of a decent player who can shoot for fun.
His drive and passion going forward is great to see.
Keep it going Charlie

I think the team, and Charlie in particular, have benefited from canning those fast paced five-a-sides in front of the Boothen pre match. Adam and Robert Huth in particular were out on their feet by 2:45. The way the team as a whole is finishing games is far removed from the legless finales seen against Norwich & West Brom.

To keep my young un occupied in the concourse pre game, we let her scribble on a betting form, she called Adam (who she loves) for 2 goals to nil.....fuck! So close!

I had a few quid on Adam to score '2 or more' myself. My mate laughed at me & told me what a wank bet it was..... Turns out he was right 'cos I did it midweek against Sunderland. Did I repeat the bet Saturday against The Shit? Did I fuck! ???

Playing the best football of his Stoke career and arguably of his entire career. Lasting 90 minutes every week. Whether it's the change of manager, style, system or just the passing of time since the loss of his father, we finally have the player we hoped for when we signed him in 2012. Absolutely. Amazing what an extra bit of fitness, a extended run in the team and a bit of confidence can do!
