Guidetti - I think he might have come on for Crouch but once Arnie had to come off it wasn't an option.
A bit of a disappointment for him - but that's football
Hopefully he will get some time v Southampton
I would start with the same 11 if all are fit

In other news, any idea about the injuries to Arnie & Walters?

I would like to mention the sterling work that daviesviews and hackett put into the transfer thread.

I thought that MH looked very down / not 100% well at the start of the game on Saturday
Mark Bowen fronted all of the interviews on Friday too and was the one giving instructions to the team for at least 30 mins of the first half
Hughes then seemed to "switch back on"
Was he considering if he had made the right decision to come here and stay the course?
If we want to keep him (MH), then we need to be more proactive, starting right now and address any problems that may have blocked these potential signings

Walters does indeed play a key part in the team. If you can't find anything to like about Walters, he at least smiles, and looks like he is enjoying the game. Remember that time when he had a bandage wrapped round his head, and it was slipping down over his eyes, - he was laughing about it! I like Walters. The game that he didn't play for us, we were saying that if Walters was on the pitch (or should I call it "the field of play" ) we wouldn't have lost.

There's a good reason Charlie Adams fitter this season, that is he's playing regularly instead of being sat on the bench half the season. He's match fit now.

How far you run stats doesen't constitute a good footballer..Walters was really poor against Chelsea continually giving the ball away,and quite rightly dropped against Sunderland,and looked better for it against Man U.better that than doing what Pulis did,continually play him regardless how bad he has played the previous game.

If we want to keep him (MH), then we need to be more proactive, starting right now and address any problems that may have blocked these potential signings I noticed this too yesterday when watching MOTD. The first goal he just sat in the dugout and punched the air. He was lot more animated in the second half and was good to see him waving at the crowd to support the players. If we want to keep Hughes we (the fans) need to support him and his methods on what he is trying to do. More importantly the club need to support him. This season is all about staying up. However the club need to give him some money to improve the squad in the summer. Otherwise what was the point in sacking Pulis?

Huth not available for 2 or 3 weeks?
We need to retain discipline if we have little cover in defence then.
Maybe we should have made a CB a bigger priority?
Sensible decision to retain the likes of Shotton and Wilko

I am convinced that crouchy + A N other in a 442/2 up front system is the way to go. Crouch is quality and is one of the best at holding up the ball and laying it off to bring other players into the game. We just need to get players around/in front of him.

Champions league? Come on
I never thought I would see Stoke play in an F A Cup Final?
I agree in principle - who cares what Trevor Francis / others in the media have to say about us
There is a danger that we are perceived in a negative way by potential players however

Thanks Ange, Gareth, Russ, Mark, et al for a cracking show. As an ex-pat i really appreciate it. Missed this Sunday's offering though, and it still isn't showing up on the latest podcast link. Any chance of getting your finger out and sorting this out?
