Squad half term report
Bego - 6.5 - not been at his best, hopefully re-find that form 2015
Bardsley - 7 - steady defender, we have lost GCs ambition going forward though
Shawcross - 9 - has carried a very rocky defence so far this season single handed
Wilson - 6 - his mistakes cost goals alas
Pieters - 6 - not as good as last year so far, looks like struggling with persistant injury
Muniesa - 7 - been promising when on, want him to have a run at CH if no Huth
Cameron - 6.5 - works hard, looked impressive in recent weeks at DCM. Deffo not a centre half at this level, but a steady right back as cover
Whelan - 7 - lynchpin of Hughes formation when fit
NZonzi - 7 - up and down, his relationship with Bojan is going to be exciting 2015
Ireland - 4.5 - not sure what he adds to the squad, Sidwell ahead of him
Sidwell - 6 - some good, some bad, prob needs a run of games not 20 min sub appearances
Bojan - 8.5 - took a while, but one of the most exciting players I have seen at Stoke for a long time - ask me again in April!
Moses - 7 - exciting to watch but suffers from lack of end product, missed at the min!
Arnie - 6 - not himself at the start of the season, encouraging last couple of cameos
Walters - 8 - reinvested himself this season, a surefire pick when fit
Diouf - 6 - pace to burn, misses a lot of chances!
Assaidi - 4 - poor when played, not the same player
Crouch - 7 - decent from Crouchy so far, played his way back into the team
Odemwinge is a miss so far!
Huth I cant wait to see back with Ryan.
So Shawross/Bojan/Walters so far for me
However if Bojan carries on he will sweep the board. Kids will want his name on their shirts, women will swoon and blokes will want his kids as well.
