STOKE CITY v BOURNEMOUTH

[lordb]

Stoke v Bournemouth
We know what's coming with them
They do have good finishers but for me they are not as good as Fulham who will win the division

Can we beat them? Damn straight we can
They will come and play everyone behind the ball and try and hit us on the break

Lots of niggly fouls and play acting
We have a young side who need to show maturity and avoid getting caught up in the inevitable wind ups
Wouldn't play Ostigard in this one

Surridge and Brown up too for this one Powell back deeper

I'm going for a win, red card for them

[scfcno1fan]

They’re unbeaten still, so that needs to change.

But I think we’ll just fall short.

Defeat on Tuesday and a draw on Saturday leaving us with an important game against Cardiff at home.

Just falling short would be a draw

[Gods]

7 points ahead of us, lose this one and they are away in a cloud of cats piss never to be seen again!

Just hope MON can pick the lads up, they must be crest fallen, we were 10 short minutes away from a famous victory today before we got shot down by a bald fat man with a Mujahedeen beard

[thehartshillbadger]

They’re beatable clearly, had a lot of lucky results already. Bad result today but we’re still playing well.

[loosestools]

Do the referees realise they are load of play acting twats?

[robwahlmann]

I think we'll beat them, fort Britannia is back (oops bet365)!

[benjaminbiscuit]

Best team in the league for me much as I detest them I fancy they could really expose us especially if he persists with a unbalanced midfield but prey not but fear for a very sobering evening

[maninasuitcase]

I hope we smash the cunts off the park.
Fucking vermin cunt of a club.

[davethebass]

Last game I ever saw at Victoria ground we beat Bournemouth 1-0 with a late goal from a corner. So I'm going same again

[xchpotter]

Billing waltzing past Sawyers all day long is my big fear with this unless MON sorts the midfield out, we’ve got very little steel in it.

Tough game. Will need to beef up the middle . Would suggest 1-4-4-1 - From: Davies; Souttar; Smith, Baath, Tymon, Wilmot; Thompson, Brown, Vranic, Allen; Sturridge. Subs: Tyrese, Fletcher, Powell, Clucas, Sawyers, Bursik.

[JoeinOz]

Can't really see us beating them unfortunately.

[mickstupp]

Tough game. Unless we catch them on an off night I don’t see us getting anything unfortunately ☹️

[19notbeaten72]

This game is will tell us if we have the steel to maintain are challenge at the top end we beat the Baggies with ease then failed badly at Sheff utd Bournemouth pose a different threat play like we did against the Baggies & there is no reason why we can't beat them.

[lordb]

it's a tough test all right....for Bournemouth

they will come for a point/play on the break

I hope the players & management don't over rate the opposition like some of our support does

I'd assume draw is favourites with the bookies but a Stoke win is more likely than an away win surely?

[gingerninja]

They are a decent team for sure, but midweek, under the lights and the way we are playing, I see no reason we can't get a positive result.

Sorry to hijack the post but I'd like to mention a planned 50th applause if supporters can join in. This is for Mike Robinson who sadly passed away a few weeks ago aged 50.
He was an avid Stoke fan and cricket player who also worked at Stoke FC.
Would really be appreciated if the word could be spread as I'm not the best on social platforms.
Cheers all.

It's going to piss down all game... I'm not sure these savvern cants can cope with a rainy night in Stoke, it's time to prove we are back and make it fucking loud tonight, intimidate them on and off the pitch.


C'mon stoke!

Scratching my head here, what is a 1-4-4-1 formation.

Wouldn't go the Victoria ground mate, we have moved!

[OldStokie]

It's a tantalising game. Play as well as we have done at times and we win it. Play like we did Saturday and we could be in for a thrashing. With work still to do on our side, I'd take the draw now.

OS.

[themistocles]

Exciting battles across the pitch tonight especially in the wing back areas.

Makes for a good watch but will take a draw all day long.
