I think many aren't factoring in injuries, not just the number, but the fact that they are by & large first choice starters..If Powell is added to the list & Fletcher doesn't make it, suddenly it becomes a very tough game..

He won’t break up that midfield of Allen and Mikel, I think he puts them to in and picks from there

That's good news, however, Powell has to pass the ball quicker instead of hanging onto it, last couple of games he has started slowing things down again..

I would prefer Davies to Gunn...probably won't happen Play a back 4 not 5...probably will happen Play Allen OR Mikel...not both! Probably play both Fill in the gaps with whoever is fit...not much choice there Give at least 1 of the U23's some game time...probably won't happen Likely team: Gunn Smith Souttar Chester RND Allen Mikel Thompson Powell Brown Fletcher My team: Davies Smith Souttar Baath RND Allen Thompson Clarke Powell Brown Fletcher

No Gunn, Allen, JOM or Brown please.
Davies, Cousins, Thompson and one of the young lads will have more energy.

I really struggle to see any reason to why so many people on this board want Gunn and Brown in their team! Gunn is certainly not as good as Davies or Bursik from what I've seen so far, and he even isn't our player! Why don't we pick one of our own when they clearly are on par or even better than Gunn!? Brown is just a useless footballer who I just can't understand is in our first 11 way too often! He is a hard worker, but when he is on the ball he probably is one of the worst players I've ever seen at Stoke! Get rid is my advice! Anyway, this is my first 11 for tomorrow!
..................Davies................ Smith......Souttar.....Batth.......RND.. Clarke.......Allen....Thompson....Norton ............Powelll..Fletcher...........
Subs: Bursik, Chester, Forrester, Coates, Tymon, Cousins, Mikel, Vokes, Brown.

I don't think Wycombe is a game to be blooding younger players. I think if a anyone listened to his press conference today, it's unlikely we will be seeing anymore young players featuring this season, even from the bench..

I don't think it really matters who plays, we just have to complete the final 12 fixtures which we are contractually obliged to do and draw a line under this turgid campaign and regroup in August when the sun will shine and the world will look like a better place. I think that's has been the party line as soon as campbe6got injured

One things for sure, we can’t hide behind injuries if the current dross continues v these Fingers crossed eh If Powell is added to the absentee list, those unavailable will include Clucas, Campbell, Fox, Collins, Powell and Mclean + Batth and Rabbi. 5 first teamers at least in that lot, 3 of them key providers of goals. Add in a less than 100% fit Fletcher. Irrespective of the result on Saturday, injuries are an issue for us and have been for some time. Yet there are some certain injuries haven’t been an issue 😂

How anyone can pick Barth is a complete mystery, a truly awful footballer who makes too many defensive mistakes. What he was doing for the first goal on Wednesday is impossible to fathom. And the idea a young kid you have never seen should play before Brown who is a key part of the press that has created our last two goals is just daft

Scored one and started the press for our other goal in the last week. A key part of how we want to play by pressing from the front. That’s why MON bigged him up in the press conference today

Souttar let an easy ball roll over his foot and then RND didn't pay enough attention to the player coming in behind him, "but of course it was Batth who deserved the blame"! Sometimes I really dispair I must say!

A key part of how we want to play by pressing from the front. That’s why MON bigged him up in the press conference today ..and how many promising attacks break down because of his decision-making or technical inability? Both against Brentford and Swansea this happened when we really should have scored! He works hard, but he is a joke of a footballer in my opinion. If you think Brown is good enough, well, we will be staying in the Championship for a very long time I'm afraid. In my opinion he isn't even good enough for this league.

If Fletcher isn't fit, play the young lad, if he won't play the young lad, instead of Vokes, just play with 10.

They're a 'good side'. We have no chance. Defend at all costs Martin, let’s hold them for 70 minutes in order to weigh them up, caution is king given the opposition Martin. Then on 70 minutes release the bounds and wreak havoc. Tactical mastermind, so lucky to have him at Stoke.

If Fletcher isn't fit, play the young lad, if he won't play the young lad, instead of Vokes, just play with 10. The match threads are fast dissolving in to 'cynics corner'. I must admit in the pantheon of Stoke matches I'm not massively bothered about this one rates high along with the 11 games which follow it. I'm firmly in the 'roll on August camp' ! (And meantime let's hear from the owners with the 3 year plan to get us challenging again)

Davies
Smith Chester Souttar RND
Thompson Cousins
Brown Powell Clarke
Fletcher
Davies deserves a recall, Gunn just doesn’t fill be with confidence, Allen and Mikel just don’t move the ball quick enough in midfield, Cousins should come back in with Thompson.
Really hoping we put in a Luton type performance and win comfortably and get some confidence back.

Going for a hard fought 1-0. is about getting a result today and credit to Wycombe they battle hard and don't lie down. Be daft to stick a young lad up top v Wycombe I think. 3-0 up fine but won't happen from the start.
