1-1 draw

Can really see Robins getting something out of this game.

I think Stoke will be fired up and MR obviously knows us inside out.

If we score the first goal, we’ll win. If we concede first we’ll probably draw.

That’s been more or less the story of our season so far and the turnaround in form has correlated well with us scoring the first goal in games.

I find it hard to believe that Stoke will magically get more fired up against us than the likes of Watford, Norwich, Boro or Bristol. Yeah, there’s t

We’re the better club, with better players and we should go out there and show our superiority. The exact same applies to Derby in midweek too.

He'll get a great reception before KO, I'll be joining in. If we're winning, I can imagine it breaking out a couple of times during the game.

I'm glad I was there at Boro but he/we never got a proper send off. Hopefully we can do that before smashing them 3-0.

People calling it disrespectful to Lampard, he is an ex WC footballer who is managing his 4th club and is, in fact, not 12 years old. I'm sure he'll understand and appreciate the situation . He'll get his name sung too.

Worried about this becoming an MR love in rather than 3 pts

Whether we get 3 points or not will be down to the players and how they play. I doubt they'll be affected by what's going on in the stands, which I think will be restricted to a pre game name chant, though after the Hamer corner malarkey you can never be certain.

It's far too soon to be welcoming back Mark Robins to the CBS as an opposition manager.

I actually thought he'd take the season off and evaluate offers come the summer.
It's annoying as we're now in a Play Off Hunt, and what should on paper be a winnable game becomes more complex.
MR will be desperate to get a result. He knows our team inside out. We've also lost a key player for a few games.
Finding it hard to predict this one. We thrash them by 4-5 or they do a number on us.

I would say that he doesn't know our team inside out. He wasn't playing Kitching , Simms was in and out of the side and tactics were all over the place. Additionally Grimes has also come in. We are playing very differently to when he was here earlier in the season.. Yes he will want to win of course but he will only know as much as any other manager how we will set up and play.

Singers corner briefly became Cucks corner to give Hamer a standing ovation.

Ah yes, now I remember. Disgrace.

Wonder how much Robins knowledge of the squad will be a factor. He will know the players weaknesses better than anyone.
does he?
didn't see much evidence of it just prior to him being sacked.
and even if he does know us inside out, is there much evidence that he's getting stoke to play as he wants?

home win.

There's too much overthinking here. Quick round of applause for saving us from oblivion. Then it's 11v11. Our players won't be thinking about it while running up the wings or taking a shot.

We've got the better players. We've got the better team. And dare I say it we have the better manager. We're in form. They're not. We're at home.

We're not going to sing his name throughout the game. He's not going to do a lap of honour. Once the game kicks off it will all be forgotten about.

Spot on, quick thanks then that’s it done, TBH not bothered if nothing happened, pretty sure he already knows what he’s thought of here, hope he has a really shit day after that few of our players he thought weren’t good enough might have a bit more incentive,
