    It's obvious, but it's a point worth making. No other team in the league bar Bolton last season are in the situation where they had such a mint home record but such a **** away record. Obviously solving that issue is the key to bagging more points, so if Stoke can't solve it they should be easy fodder.

    I suppose we'll find out today.

    I can see Stoke taking the lead.Their game revolves around free kicks and corners causing maximum mayhem in the box. (I think Huth is one of the biggest cheats going) Watch for there players blocking ours, shirt grappling and holding to the maximum. I think Bruce is going to play the biggest team against them he can and try to match them (which will be a mistake)

    Silly free kicks need to be cut out (Cattermole, Richardson take note). I can just see us chasing this one with Bruce's only tactic DEPLOY ALL STRIKERS being used.
    We have home advantage, we will need a ref with eyes in the back of his head. If we are going to do anything this season we need to be beating Stoke.
    We have been awful at defending set peices this season. Mig will struggle today.
    Home advantage may well not be a bonus today. If things are going badly expect boo's and jeers early.

    I'm going for an awful 1-1 draw.

    Stoke are a big team, huth and shawcross, in defence, then jones and crouch up front..all supported by the wingers.

    This is no time for sess as a striker....expect some cards to be shown in this one.
