Tonights team Marshall Theo Caulker Turner John Whitts Medel Gunner Mutch Cowie Campbell Subs: Lewis, Connolly, Hudson, Cornelius, Kim, Noone Thoughts? Very defensive imo, no width either. Where's bellers? Why aren't we starting our best players i.e. Kim, Bellers, Noone Think its going to be a very long night........
Thanks Nat Gone even more defensive. Expecting a much more physical game perhaps. Only 6 subs? I assume Taylor is injured unless no. 7 on the bench.
0 - 0 half time. Lets hope the defensive line up lulls them into a false sense of security then we bring on Kimbo, Corney and Noone and tear them apart. I can wish can't I?
That was a perfectly good goal. Gunner not up to the pace and chasing shadows then playing the goalscorer onside. Luckily the linesman messes up. Terrible decision!!! But not for us. Gunner was superb end of last season. He is struggling big time. I havent a clue why he has been selected and why this line up is so negative. If it was Man City fair enough. But this is a struggling Stoke FFS.
Very surprised when I saw the team. Not a combo seen before. Hope it is with a view to throw cornelian and two wingers on for the last twenty.mutch seems lively so far.
I said we needed 4 points from the 2 away games. That's the easy bit done. Credit where it's due as well, very good win for the Jacks tonight. No strikers and still score 3!!!
I reckon Malky will go for a more attacking line up next game. Maybe 8 -1-1 Rather than 9-0-1 Seriously may as well play Hudson and Connolly. Not too unhappy with 1 point but that line up was negative even by Malkys standards. Lose on Saturday with a similar negative line up and the song wont be right as maybe he wont have a riot on his hands.
Can't see much changing, MM is always going to set up like this and go for the draw. Dreadful to watch though. * At away games that is.
Apart from Swansea from 10th down we have all those teams to play at home. Swansea is a very winnable away game as well. Problem is Malky has to start playing for wins.
Terry! Serious question for you. Is a Cardiff City draw of more interest to you than talking about a swansea win on your own board?
