Can’t see much being changed. Would be tempted to give Doughty and Thompson a good chunk of playing time and have Fletcher starting up front. Hopefully Powell involved somewhere but not heard anything. Sima only ready for Derby I think?

Sometime in October, you'd hope, but Sima should be ready for a cameo v the Rams, which is exciting to see what he can add. I hope MON rotates a few for Wednesday - we have the numbers to do so and keep players fresh without a massive dip in quality. Allen, Fletcher, Doughty and Thompson to start, for me.

Its early days, but I'm ahead by backing Stoke . I know this is a big call but I would suggest that all stokies have a small wager on Stoke to win, in every match this season. I reckon that if we wanna go up for sure, we need 25-30 more wins this season.

I just had a scan of all the seasons going back to our promotion year. 100 points territory is around 30 total. Some years 25/24 wins total was the top 2. The year we went up we only had 22/21 wins (CBA check again) it was a super tight league that year. The year Blackpool won the playoffs they finished 6th with 19 wins.

No rush for Treez. Best make sure he's 100% ready. Coming back from injury too soon could do severe long term damage.

I don't see the point of resting and rotating players. They are professional athletes trained to play twice a week. If you are going to have selection on merit you don't rotate for the sake of it. If you play well you keep your place, if your form dips or you don't follow team instructions you're out and someone else is in, keen to keep his place.

I agree that we shouldn’t rotate players just for the sake of it but professional athletes are not machines. Knowing when a player needs a rest and picking a replacement that will either benefit or minimise disruption to the team is good management.

It wouldn't be rotation for the sake of it for what most are suggesting? Playing as a wing back is bloody hard work so making a change there where we have a player who is as capable as the player who played the game before makes sense. It freshens it up for the mid week game and the game on Saturday. The Championship is still a long hard slog and if you have players that come in and you expect to do well then why wouldn't you do it? And we certainly have that in midfield and left wing back. And when Sima and Campbell are in contention, we have it up front too.

www.stokecityfc.com/news/2021/september/Clucas-and-Fletcher-doubts-for-Barnsley/Sam Clucas and Steven Fletcher are injury doubts for Stoke City ahead of tomorrow’s meeting with Barnsley at the bet365 Stadium (kick-off 7.45pm). Clucas and Fletcher are struggling with Achilles tendon and ankle injuries respectively, whilst manager Michael O’Neill has also revealed that defender Morgan Fox will miss the game after sustaining a hamstring injury in training yesterday. Fox is due to undergo a scan later today but O’Neill is resigned to him being unavailable for a period of time.

Just about to post this, can’t see either of them featuring. Gives Sima a potentially lucky break though to take Fletcher’s spot on the bench.

Could define our season tomorrow, said if we beat Huddersfield we’ll have to beat Barnsley.

Shame about Fletch, deserved a start.
Sima definitely should be on the bench at least which is good though.

If Sima is on the bench I shall be having a little wager on him scoring the last goal of the game. Why? This is why!

Good job we haven't been relying to heavily on Fox, he's as injury prone as Fletch last season!!!

Allen for Clucas it is then.
I wonder if Wright-Phillips is being primed for the subs bench with him missing yesterday's u-23 game?
