    I reckon Neil’s strategy would be to dominate our midfield and stop us playing. Now we’ve got 6 in midfield that might be flawed.

    He was moaning about having attackinh options to choose from. He is picking the team he feels gives us the best chanve of winning - theres plenty of goals in that starting line up. He now has options off the bench to change it, thats what he was moaning about not having before

    I’m just pissed off with Tony mate not the first time and I hope he gets it right because the last game against these was a shambles and he just stood there with his hands on his head and didn’t change **** all.

    If I had the time I would bring up the numerous articles he's twisted about not having options or experienced strikers.

    You don't need your striker to score goals. Ashley Barnes was so crucial for Burnley last season and he didn't score many. Burstow was excellent at Sheff Wed without scoring. I think its a mistake to play without a focal point today.

    Well if Stoke do well to stop us scoring with the 0 striker option, we can swap 3 of the 4 for the strikers on the bench and wallop them that way . Simple this managing lark!
    Or if we still don’t score , then Stoke will have just been better on the day .

    Attackers looking fluid in the warm up. Ba on the right with Roberts inside but swapping over sometimes. Jobe running past from deep.

    To be fair, I think Mowbray is very good with these youngsters and will have likely out it across very well to them the reason they’re not starting
