I’m sure he is wanting the sack with that line up it’s dire. Thought it was certain he would play vokes and Campbell after mid week Campbell Snr has ensured that Campbell Jnr doesn’t start I’m afraid.

Someone at the club isn’t a fan of Jones...... It's bigcashprizes who has the inside goss...: Yeah man Someone who knows someone who knows someone 😀 Today: That’s the team I got sent earlier Leeds cup: I’ve just heard a leaked team, which is - Butland Batth, CCV, Bruno Smith, Woods, Clucas, Ward Ince Vokes, Campbell The same source called the Preston team correctly. That could’ve been a guess though! We shall see, probably a load of bollocks 😎 It’s a very disturbing thing tbh. But something that I think shows the issues we have.

A team you can be proud of, you ungrateful bastards, now be proud! Please, sir, can I be dazed and confused instead?

It does make me question what benefit did we get from pre season. None because the manager has bottled it in regards to the almighty diamond. Whether that's a good thing or bad thing is yet to be known. We were all wanting his diamond dropped so he can't do right can he?

When was the line-up leaked Chig? It's on the pinned match day thread mate, bigcashprizes has had it correct 3 times in a row now. He doesn't win bigcashprizes without having some knowledge!

Flumoxed by the team sheets, never known such random teams being picked in 50 years supporting stoke. He thought he was indecisive but now he's not so sure!

The only way I can see us winning is if Pete has a top game.
The team played well against Leeds with two upfront, so why on earth is there such a huge change?
Leeds match was a great away performance but we are not set up for an attacking away performance today. Disappointed with woods not being in the squad

BBC Stoke recon it's a 532 with Ince up top. A winger up front when you have 3 strikers on the bench, makes sense Who would be the third central defender if that were our formation? It could probably be anyone: Gregory, Allen, McClean, none of them would surprise me in a Jones team, but none of them would make me comfortable. Ward is a distinct possibility I suppose. No I think something else is on the manager's mind but what I can't fathom. He hardly played Gregory in pre season, but now he's our ever present never scoring centerforward...

433 only works with pacey wide men capable of scoring goals.

At least Batth (...) back in our starting line up! That's a major concern...

The problem I have with NJ is he keeps changing it every week whether it's the shape of the team or the personnel.
It's why none of the players know what's going on.

Sign of desperation for me. He's just chucking stuff at the wall and hoping it sticks. Half understandable, given the league results, but surely playing into a run of form with a settled team is the way to go??

He may say he's managing his resources, picking teams and tactics based on the opposition Unfortunately, if the result don't come, it makes him look like he doesn't know what he's doing!

433 only works with pacey wide men capable of scoring goals. Ince kind of meets that requirement. Mcclean doesn’t.

Thanks for filling me in. It must be frustrating for Campbell as he defo deserves more of a chance ,I’m sure most stokies would see that but no not nj

But we all know the diamond doesn't work so at least he's not been a twat about it and is trying something else.
