[Brighton Sky Blue]

Is Stoke the worst away day in the League? Even worse than the CBS isn't it?

Deepdale for me, mostly because it’s as cursed as Dabo’s right boot

What are people’s plans for this? I’m travelling solo today - I’ll be in Stoke-on-Trent for 09:48.

At least you can make a decent day of it.

My guess is that we’ll play 3-4-1-2 too based on that.

 

[SleepyGinger]

Going off what saddle has said I’m guessing

Collins
MVE Thomas Kitching Bidwell
Latibeaudiere Eccles
Simms Palmer Dasilva
Godden

That's a little early MMB, are you going up to the Cultural Quarter up Hanley duck and sample half a dozen bacon cheese and brown sauce oatcakes before the match?

It's the coldest for sure. Bloody freezing when the wind blasts over their ground.

 

[Bad Boy]

As an aside, is it just me that MR really doesn't look a happy chappy lately and appears to be complaining about most things?

Bajetic only on the bench?

He was pissed off that he wanted 3 in the window and got 1. Yes i know EMC, but thats not for now is it

We were in for 2 prem loans,Rak Sakyi being one, 'we' take that as Doug or the club or whatever, wouldnt pay the loan percentage wanted by clubs

 

[wingy]

All the while emphasising cup run for cash,hmmm?

Unlike him to be a toddler thoigh

No think there are quite a few of us noticed he is not a happy chappie.
Doug King never gets a mention either, think he has a lot of questions to answer. Which he won’t.

 

[Grendel]

I took it as:

Carr
Chuckle 1 Mitchell Webb Chuckle 2
Morecambe Wise
Milligan Cleese Everett
Sessions

I draw the line at Cupid Stunt playing on the left of midfield

 

[Grendel]

I'm not on about that comment. I don't agree with it

I'm saying more about you saying godden getting in good positions then messing up. But when a midfielder does same that's not good enough for you and u like to have a go.

Just seems like double standards because you have a favourite

Talking shite as usual I see

Driving with 3 grandkids under 12 so it’s arrive about 1 , Mac Donald’s,game,home.

If that's true it's not necessarily something to be unhappy about.

Like most fans I want us to get as many good players in as we can but Doug has to manage the club's finances properly. I don't want us to get in the financial mess that Sisu did, which got us uncomfortably close either to ceasing or exist or out of the Football League.

By the standards of recent decades these are exciting times to be a SB supporter. We are tantalisingly close to being in the play-offs for a second successive season and are playing some attractive football.

Hope they have a great day

 

[mmttww]

Becoming slightly worried MR is trying to make a point with team selections. Like someone said, toddler vibes.

 

[SBT]

Robins bears plenty of responsibility for the squad being thin - it was him and the recruitment team who decided to divert all our cash into building a 3ATB-based squad in the summer, which has left us with redundancies and shortfalls now we’ve switched to 433.

They have their season ticket, and I try and get them to half a dozen aways a season.
Drive 4 ,train 2. But 70 now Pete, gets harder every year

 

[Deleted member 9744]

Collins, Lati (if MVE needs a rest), Binks, Kitching, Bidwell, Torp, Eccles, COH, Saka, Wright, Simms

Thomas was outstanding in the first half. Doesn't deserve to be dropped for a couple of mistakes in atrocious conditions in the second half. Also he had so little support from MVE.

So godden is starting , hopefully you find the rest out soon mate

 

[Evo1883]

Been here several times now Stoke, never once a decent atmosphere

 

[Astute]

Nowhere near as cold as Grimsby, especially the away end. It is open to the wind coming off the Humber estuary.

[wingy]

Kelly will start?

 

[Briles]

At the end of the day we have a squad and that squad is there to be utilised. If there are players in the squad who aren’t good enough for the first team then why weren’t they released? Large squad or not we have to rotate and the players that come in need to have robins trust.

Good TBH. Don’t need short term cash spending. Well get there over the next 3-5 seasons whatever.

 

[wingy]

Could do with Burroughs, just saying!
