I don’t think it’s good for the club and not using a 4231 with the talent we have for it is sheer cowardice. Will you still moan if we get promoted this season? I mean, only a moron would react to a promotion party and be like "it's alright but don't you just wish we did with wingers?!".. And how is it cowardice? If anything it's the complete opposite is it not? We're going to play a way the manager believes in, it shows he's a man of conviction not cowardice. If Edwards and Collins aren’t used then yes. I was that twat in 2008 who was disappointed we didn’t play with a left winger and win the league!  Because instead of 4 attackers, we will have 3. I will always think that’s cowardly. It shows he’s not flexible and not using the squad to the best of its ability. |

I'll let his football do the talking for me. I'll also look forward to your "damn, I was SO wrong" comments later in the season. Please, for your own health, let Bojan go  I don’t think it’s good for the club and not using a 4231 with the talent we have for it is sheer cowardice. Even by your own standards, that's a hell of a statement. |

I've been saying it since we got Lambert it. Cowards have been ruling the roost. The managers have been trying cowardly formations with a limited number of attackers. The use of certain players has been massively cowardly. I think it sums the time up since Hughes was sacked to a tee. |

I actually think we've made some good signings there Cousins, Powell, Lindsay, Davies and Smith will all be good I think. Just because they didn't cost millions like Imbula doesn't mean they are average. Personally I've been impressed and looking forward to the season Nothing to do with what they cost. Lindsay I actually hope plays if Collins doesn’t but he wasn’t needed because of Collins. A waste of a great talent for what? The rest are just meh. Ok. Won’t be horrendous. Don’t solve any key issues we have. You get what you pay for.......does this not apply to football? |

I would say a 4231 is 6 attackers then....... |

Don’t solve any key issues we have. There is nothing wrong with having faith in the future of a player. If Collins is as good as you think I shall be happy but do you think that he will remain at Stoke for much longer than perhaps one more season? He will be gobbled up by the Premier or even foreign teams. Developing a team is not just about placing your faith in just one player. Jones is rightly ensuring that we have lots of competition for places. No player should think he is a shoe in. Over the last few seasons there has been a team spirit missing. It is great that you have hope and faith in individuals but the future of Stoke City will only become brighter when there is a unity amongst the squad. |
